P90 humbucker clean sense

  • I have a guitar with a P90 in the neck and a Humbucker in the bridge. Volume is slightly lower in neck pup because this gives me a middle position I like.


    When setting clean sense, the best volume balance between clean and distorted values for my guitar is just above 0. However, the P90 sounds much more 'alive' when the clean sense is turned up (6.5). At this setting neither bridge or neck send clip the input but moving between clean and distorted profiles sees a big jump in volume.


    Is this p90 improvement just a perceived difference just because of a volume bump (louder sounds better) or does the cleans sense help open up single coils? If it does open them up, is there a single setting in the amp section that I can use to get the same effect while keeping the global input section set for the humbucker? (like gain is to distortion sense)


    Hope that makes sense...

    Thanks
