And the best amp settings to my ears, for almost any band, has the settings mids on a little higher then 0. Let's face it, many guys that work on their amp settings for the first time find that it's easy to get a familiar tone with the bass and treble way higher then the mids (actually, with almost no mids). It sounds cool. But I never played an amp that had this setting as the fattest and fullest.

I think our differences is in our definition of scooping.

I don't limit scooping to mids at 0. I consider scooping to be anytime the mids are noticably weaker than the bass and treble frequencies. Some amps sound good with a slight scoop in them....clean Fender's being a good example, and you can get a pretty fat tone out of a good Fender.
