Well, this ties in with Pete's thread "Gig Report" ...... Had a real good band rehearsal tonight with the Therapy and she sings like no other amp I've ever owned! Really, really sweet. Although Pete runs some pedals with his rig and uses a boost for solos, I just count on my Tele's volume knob to do everything, plugged straight into the amp. I found the Therapy to be very excellent in cutting my GV back for rhythm and then booting it up for solos. I'm finding that running the volume at 1:00-2:00 gives me clean enough rhythm and then all the hair I need for solos. I'm running the mid at about 3:00, bass at about 9-10:00 and treble at about 2:00, and the master is about 10:00 (heavy hitting drummer). Only once did I change my dials, that being when I wanted to go into psychedelia solo mode in a "We Gotta get Outta This Place" jam, where I nutted the volume knob and went into psychedelia with hardly an increase in volume - I didn't even have to drop the MV! I can see no need for a boost pedal the way I play this rig, but there's lots a' ways to skin a cat. I still can't get over how great a rhythm sound I can get, and with the twist of the GV, I can have totally smooth drive tone with sustain to die for. Sometimes I don't even max out my GV for solos - it's like diali-a-gain-tone just with the GV! I haven't wanted to plug into another amp, really, since I've gotten this thing. Sweet!

Thanks for the post. I want to sell most of my pedals since I got this amp

Thats almost the exact settings I am using. I still can't believe how little bass imput I am putting in with my tele. I do still use a little boost from my Timmy for a few songs on lead

That is an excellent report JJ - and speaks to my soul! If I was playing with my old band, that is EXACTLY how I would use this amp, and there would be no pedals to be seen anywhere - I always jam that way at home too It is very hard to describe the incredible interactive dynamic of this amp - you just have to PLAY one to find out! (i guess the Z Wreck owners among us will get it....) Great stuff!

My resistance is getting weaker with each stellar Therapy post.
