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 Head Petrucci's Clean Beautiful clean. Closest to Petrucii's tone. I use the neck humbucker or both pickups (w/ split coils).

View Settings 5:50 2x12 Combo BROWN CRUNCH eSPECIALLY EFFECTIVE WITH SINGLE COILS, HAVE BASS AND MID EQUAL...TREBLE A NOTCH LESS. GAIN AROUND HALF OF 1.00 TO GET A BROKEN YET CLEAN PERCUSSIVE OVERDRIVEN SOUND!!! MASSIVE.. View Settings 5:50 2x12 Combo FUZZ FACE Use the treble with sutlety, emphasis on the mids and bass combined with gain to get an awesome boomy fuzz tone!!!!! View Settings 5:25 1x10 Combo This 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 Combo As close to Recto as you can get: EMG 81/85 Pretty 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 Combo AC/DC meets Hard Rock Lead I 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 Combo Responsive clean blues with slight breakup This is how I set my clean, so it's bluesy with medium-hard pick attack. View Settings 5:25 1x10 Combo These 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 Combo classic rock tone keep 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 5:50 1x12 Combo Soaring Lead From the Express manual View Settings 5:25 1x10 Combo Roots Clean From the Mesa Express manual View Settings
