Been using my V:90 live for a while now, do dig the amp for many reasons, versatility for one. Anyway soliciting any input from those who have used one live in multiple venues.
Going to get into the weeds here
One question is if anyone has found optimum level settings for channel masters vs output master. Typically I've been running Chan masters 11-noon and then pulling up the output master as an overall volume control. In the current venues that's ends up around 10-11. Since 4CM is integral to the setup the output master and loop are always on. Yea a number of things play into it, the cab the room, etc. However read one post recently where the player set the output master high ~3pm and then ran the channel masters much lower. Wasn't something that crossed my mind, but will try it soon.
Second question is balancing volumes, currently use Ch 3 for solo work with the 10W mode as the harmonic content is a bit richer, tone bloom is easier to manipulate. However depending on the output master level there comes a point, depending where the Chan master does little to increase volume. That's like around 12-1. Use chan 1 (Fat) at 90W for the clean headroom and Ch 2 (Crunch) at 45W. So balancing volumes is always a bit of a challenge when each chan is different. Also look to not increase chan switch popping![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway just wondering what other folks have done, perhaps they have a setup approach that has worked well. I'm always up to hear related experiences.
