I saw this thread topic in the Lounge area and wanted to share my experience of doing this on my Remedy. I hadn't realised how much we set our tone by sight, rather than sound - bizarre when you think about it. So, I thought of tone I wanted, closed my eyes, and started turning knobs - interesting results! I ended up maxing the Hi V, and the Norm V at about 9 o'clock; T at noon; M&B about 10 o'clock. I never would have set it that way by sight...... SUCH a rude, raucous sound, full of harmonics and sustain, especially with the GV rolled back (I rarely max the GV to be honest, using it between 2 and 8 mostly, depending how clean / mean I want it, and use the EQ Bypass for my solo boost). This is the way I'm going to set my amps from now on - close my eyes and listen!

For me, when the bright volume is set high....I can't tell any difference in tone until the bass volume gets somewhat near the setting of the high volume. Maybe 70% close.
And for humbuckers with the remedy.....I can have the bass volume all the way off. Just don't turn the treble past noon. Do this with closed back greenbacks....awesome.

Pete, I'm glad that someone else out there is turning up the HV! To me, that's where things start to just come alive for my sound and style of play.
John, thanks for voicing what I'd been thinking - the bass needs to stay low low low for humbuckers but can be turned up with single coils (in my guitars at least).

The tone shaping on the Rem and the Antidote is really interesting due to the full tone stack (plus Presence on the 'dote) and the two volume controls. I've been able to dial in some bright, cleanish tones with single-coil guitars at pretty high volume.

I'll have to experiment more with mine. So far I can't quite seem to find the tone I'm looking for. I've been running the normal volume about noon and the treble around 10 or so. I have the bass up to around 2 oclock and the mids and treble about 10 o-clock. I'm running at 40 watts with the master volume at 10-12 depending. I have an open back cabinet with a creamback. It never seems to have enough bass.
I also have a Maz 18 Jr and I've been running it at the same time and get the low end punch I'm missing from the Maz. There's definitely some good tones between both amps and the Remedy has some great harmonics in there. But I haven't found the sound I'm looking for in Remedy alone. Maybe I'm approaching it all wrong.

Maybe I'm approaching it all wrong. I just picked up my Remedy, and I think there is a learning curve to it. Coming from a Stang Ray, which was a one-trick pony (does that trick better than any other amp I've heard), the Remedy has more tonal options/tweakability. I'm also used to the 3D chime/swirl of the Stang Ray with Alnico Blues...which no other amp on earth will be able to reproduce ;-) However, I could never get my Ray to give up the goods without bleeding eardrums...the Remedy with master volume is able to do that while my wife watches TV in the next room ;-) Additionally, the only pedals I need with the Remedy are a tuner and the EQ bypass footswitch...the rest of the pedalboard is going to collect some dust for a while!

Maybe I'm approaching it all wrong. I've had my Remedy for just a week now. It's awsome when you get it dialed in. Have you tried a closed back? I have a Dr.Z 1x12 convertible cab with creamback, and just bought another one which will be here tomorrow. I will run both closed at first, but I expect to keep one open (middle panel). I do get a lot of low end punch with the closed back. Also, I play humbuckers most of the time. You using single coils? Here's my current settings, and I used the eq bypass as a 2nd channel OD at practice on Sunday and it worked great. Power Full Mid - 11:00 Bass - 9:00 Treb - 11:00 Hi Vol - 1:30-2:00 Low Vol - 9:00
