Nice video. A little more amp gain than I prefer, but I like your method and describing what your going for with each pedal.

Thanks so much! Totally understand, where you set the amp for pedals is very much a personal thing. What works for me may not be best for you, but I’m glad you got something out of it! 🙏🏻

Hey John! Thank you so much for your video. I kinda knew it, what finding the sweetspot means, but having it confirmed by you, also adding some extra infos, really inspires me to check again with my amp, once I'm in my rehearsal room again. I just bought myself a brandnew orange rockerverb 100 MKIII as my first tube amp, after I used a sunn beta lead for approx 10 years. Sadly the trusty amp (built in 1974) died this january, so i was forced to get myself a new amp, as I just founded my new band. I was sure that I understand enough about this, so I just dial in something i think may be okay, but as I got more and more into this matter, i realized that its not as easy as someone may think. The first weeks I was WAAAY to loud (but it felt great, hehe) Especially when using pedals. It took me good 7-8 months to fully understand my amp and know how to really use it, espeially in an somewhat big rehearsal room with an bassist w/ his 500W bas-amp (laney digbeth). My current set-up is kinda like yours. - but I'm unsing a voume pedal. I have the crunch-channel active, and when the ernieball MVP volume pedal is set to heel position, I have a lovely tight crunch. But when I push the mvp into the toe position (which has dial-able 20DB boost) it justs get fat and loud in the desired ammount. It took me very long to figure all out. even with the MVP pedal boosted (toe position) i have a walrus audio ages running, but on this I just add some little volume on top, gain is bettween 0-2 (MAX) - I'm just using the EQ-Cuve of the Ages to somehow spice up my signal, but not adding alotta gain/vol. anyways, thanks - I love your vids & subbed Take care and best regards

Love the video! Can you comment on how to get an amp to be in that “sweet spot” at lower volumes without an attenuator? I have a DRRI that even at rehearsal volume …it’s not there yet. Thanks man, and happy birthday!

Tough with non-master volume amps for sure. In my experience, a deluxe reverb starts to open up at about 6, which is too loud for most people at home. You could probably get away with it at a gig though!
