    Not even really needed.

    You just gotta EQ to the song your playing.

    I have it on "LESS" with an edge of break up crunch, dial back the volume on my neck pickup of my LP for clean, bridge pickup and od for distortion.

    If it's all distorted song, I'm on "MORE" eq'd to taste.

    It works really, really well.

    I can go from clean, to jazz, to blues, to classic rock, to 90s rock, to modern rock to metal.

      I'm just saying, instead of using the volume knob on the guitar, if I put an Eq on the floor with the actual eq setting flat I could move the level control down. Turn the pedal on and it'd clean up the amp. Leave the pedal off and it would stay distorted. Right?

        That would work, and if you ever so slightly scoop the mids on the EQ, then when you kick it off, you get a mids boost.

          You just haven't figured out how to work the eq etc... yet.
          What amp are you playing thru now?

            How about Peavey's 3120? opinions?

            The nearest Guitar Center only carries the Egnater Vengeance and Peavey 6505+ for amps similar to what I've listed. Otherwise I'd use my own ears.
