There are a few tips for this thing that I didn't first realize and are not totally obvious. First and foremost, the input sensitivity. There is a gain/trim control (Input) for your guitar/OD pedal. This is key for proper response for the profiles. My guitar has a high output humbucker (SD Distortion) that was slightly clipping the input when I really wacked the strings so the Input level fixed that easily.. I just didn't know it was there. There is also a trim for distorted input tones, you use that for OD boxes. After adjusting both the profiles everything sounds killer.

2nd and more important tip: volume levels range a bit on the profiles so I was upping the amp Volume to fix that... don't do that. Long hold the Cabinet button to edit its parameters and crank the Cab Volume to +5. HOLY SCHNIKES.. that brings out the lovely qualities of whatever cab you are trying, and gives you more volume.

Now I am getting glorious tones 99% of the time. Clean tones are totally improved and whats cool is my guitar was never good sounding for clean tones on any amp and now it is! :rock:
 
Great suggestions!

I figured out the input sensitivity thing while getting too much hair when profiling some really clean amps. But the other stuff is new to me. Much appreciated!
 
Yeah definitely crank the Cab volume and see the difference. Its pretty amazing in my opinion. It was that last 'thing' I needed to get mojo from my setup.
