I use this position on my pedal board to boost my main low-gain drive (Custom Cool) for leads and some higher mid-heavy rhythm tones. I set the SS for the 808 Killer setting which I've found on another forum is quite popular with players. I went from the JRC4558 to the TL702 and then finally settled on the JRC4559 op-amp. I have the Note Shape at 9:00, Presence at 3:00 (higher than suggested setting) Bass at 9:00 , Harmonics at 8:00 and Mids at 2:30ish. Thick but more articulate and clearer than the Maxon it replaced.
I've since gone back and made for adjustments after my band's rehearsal.
The internal controls are now Note Shape at 7:00 (OFF), Presence at 1:00 (like suggested in manual!), Bass at 9:30 (a little above the 9:00 setting), Harmonics still at 8:00 and Mids on FULL (5:00).
This gives a massive mid-hump push into the Custom Cool to really cut through for lead breaks.
I was getting some feedback with my Ric 330 into my Deluxe Reverb with the CC and DDSS on (as boost) at the same time. I think dialing down the Presence will help this. I seemed to hear less noise at home when I made the adjustments.
