When you have a set of humbuckers, how do you set up your amp tone? Do you use the one clean and the one overdriven channel and optimize them for the pickup you use the most, or for something useable between the two pickups? Or do you use completely different settings for each pickup with pedals or presets?
I usually stick to a couple presets since I don’t bother to use a foot switch much. I like the idea of honing my pickups so that they give me the sounds I want from each through a clean channel and a distortion channel. But maybe I’m losing some tonal capabilities by not having separate presets for neck and bridge pickups? I tend to use the crunch channel on my amp and play with the volume knob for drive, again mostly because I don’t bother pulling out my foot switch. I use a katana 100 which gives me a lot of different tones. I’m not sure what school of thought to follow though, variation from the guitar, or variation from the amp.
