My favorite drive is the gain Knob. Whenever I need an extra boost, I'll simply use the gain Knob as it sounds very tuby and natural. If I place the EQ Stack in the pre position, or even the Studio EQ in the pre stack area I can vary the tone of the drive (gain) significantly to get it where I like it.
I'll try this one tomorrow here.
Why in the pre? Why not on the post?
