Maybe 1/2 way on the pre, about 7 on the volume, and I can go from clean or crunch rhythm to marshall OT overdrive with my volume knob.

but, that's the tone my ears have been looking for forever, every one is chasing different tones.

IMO however, if you are going to use tubes, get the OTs warmed up. Keep the wattage down so you can turn it up. Or, go the attenuator route.

Gotta say, attenuators rule. My pedals sit in a bag, ignored....

Power attenuators, Anyone using them?
