I had mine set at 7 for a while but going into the 2:90 it was way too loud. I would like to experiment and try using my Strategy 400 with it different volumes...
Well I used to have it on like 3, but it sounded... I dunno. Undefined somehow. Now that it's cranked, my tone just seems more alive, more saturated, and a lot meaner.
BTW Greenevil, your band sounds pretty sweet! Digging your tone.
I have my 2:90 about 11:00 O'clock and my Triaxis Output at Noon (I think thats about 5?). I believe my channel masters are around 4. I feel like its not quite as loud as it should be to get better tone at practice. I am almost going to try moving the cab way away from us and turning it around to turn it louder to see how it sounds.
I usually have all my high gain settings set at a Master level of 5. I tried going lower to like 4ish and boosting the 2:90, but I like the way it sounds better at 5.
I put my output level at 2.5. If I set it higher, then it would clip my effect pedal. The TriAxis is output is very loud above 2 anyway, it has a lot of volume.
darkalone, I find nothing dumb about your question what so ever, and I haven't been a teenager since 1970. To answer your question I usually have mine set between 4-5. I find that gives me the best sound with the Boogie 50/50 poweramp that I use with it. Sometimes that changes though if I use a different poweramp.
dude, im almost jealous, you've kicked my *** in the Hetfield fanboy area. especially with that genuine ESP explorer.
anyway, back to the subject, i run mine at 4. i've never really even tried a higher setting. and i usually set my 2:90 volumes about 12 o'clock for live gigs.
Sadly bro, the only ESP Explorer I ever had was an old LTD model, and I parted ways with it to fund the uber-fanboy guitar - the Gibson 1984 Explorer Reissue with EMGs.
Hey, I'm a little late to this party, but I'm willing to make up for that by being instantly offended. What have you got?? :roll:
Oh, yeah, I set my Triaxis output volume straight up at high noon. I've tried a variety of positions (and then I plugged in my amp! :lol, and found that one to be just fine. I even left it that way after gaining about 3dB headroom from the 12BZ7 I put in V5.
Cornball truism: the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.
