When you boost an already-overdriven amp with an OD pedal, do you tend to have the level all the way up or nearly all the way up?
Im almost always using lower gain amps (old Marshalls, Vox, etc.), and have the OD pedal level maxed. When I played high gain amps, I'd also max OD pedal's level but just lower the amp's gain.
Lately I've been tinkering with a 5150's lead channel, but with the amp's gain up fairly high but the OD pedal's level fairly low (so it's not boosting much but I guess imparting its EQ and feel).
For high-gain amps, which way do you guys do this?
