5:25 HeadPetrucci's Heavy crunch / LeadClosest I can get to Petrucci's tone. I use this channel with a tubescreamer. Most of the time reverb is OFF. Bridge humbucker for crunch; neck or bridge humbucker for lead. View Settings

5:25 HeadPetrucci's CleanBeautiful clean. Closest to Petrucii's tone. I use the neck humbucker or both pickups (w/ split coils). View Settings

5:50 2x12 ComboMetal, run in 5 watts, max out the gain, contour, and MIDS! have reverb off... roll back bass to 9:00 if need be, adjust master to taste. It may take some tweaking of the treble/bass/master, but it sounds GREAT when you get it right. Can sound a like a modded marshall sometimes.Hard rock/metalz View Settings

5:25 1x10 ComboThis is a sound I made for a tight percussive, but very versatile tone. I use multiple guitars, from Ibanez to a Les Paul. My Les Paul is my main, and if you roll back the volume you can get a sweet blues tone. I run a Mod Tone Dyno Drive in front of it for that Soaring smooth creamy Lead and this is my favorite sound. Clean channel is amazing any way you turn it. View Settings

5:50 2x12 ComboAs close to Recto as you can get: EMG 81/85Pretty close to Recto. Bass is a little flubby, but if you take off the casters and sit her on the ground it really helps to clean it up, and get some punch. If anybody can try this out with a closed back cab, I'd love to hear your results. View Settings

5:50 2x12 ComboAC/DC meets Hard Rock LeadI have this set up to be a good Classic Rock rhythm, but kick in an overdrive pedal (SD-1 set to: volume-maxed, Tone- 9 o-clock, Gain- 11 o'clock) for more gain, hit contour control and it gets a pretty heavy lead sound. Changing volume and gain really effects the bass and treble levels on this amp, so it may take some tweaking; I like to switch between bridge and neck pickup, and it took a lot of experimenting to get a balanced sound. This works pretty well in 5 watt mode too, but looses some punch. View Settings

5:50 2x12 ComboResponsive clean blues with slight breakupThis is how I set my clean, so it's bluesy with medium-hard pick attack. View Settings

5:25 1x10 ComboThese settings were set using a Gibson ES135 LTD but should not need any tweaking with a Les Paul. Work equally well in the 5W or 25W setting and on the Crunch mode as well. View Settings

5:50 2x12 Comboclassic rock tonekeep in mind this amps eq comes before gain. depending on guitar you may have to tweak, but with a les paul it freakin' rock View Settings
