Lads -
I recently reacquired my Monza 1x10 combo with Red Fang and BL. I'm messing with it and realize that every component on it (knobs and BL, not to mention pickup type, position and volume and tone knob positions on the guitar - good grief!) all have a pretty substantial effect on the tone. Wondering what some of your favorite settings. How do you guys play this amp? How do you juice it? Any secrets of using pedals with this thing? How about ODs vs. Modulation effects?
I really want to get this thing pumping for me. It's the perfect size (physically and volume wise) for gigging. Anyone have success making it clean? Making it chug? Making it punch you in the face? (okay, I know that last one is a gimmee! ;D ). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

my favorite starting point is brake lite on 2 and everything else at noon. Because my guitar pups are pretty hot I can roll back to between 9 and 11 o'clock on the volume and still get a very strong over drive. It get back below 9 o'clock the drive will start to back off and then the guitar volume will roll off even more drive. I typically run my amp as follows: volume 10 o'clock drive 11 o'clock tone at 1 o'clock brake lite at 2 hope this helps, Todd

Great tone from there for sure. Thanks Todd. Hey - What speakers have you tried with the Monza?

I'm going to have to reacquire the Monza at some point. I miss mine...

I have run my Monza thru a Zbest with a V30 and G12H30 in it, I have run it through my 1x12 convertable cab with a V30 in it, an 2x12 open back with G12-65's and a 1x12 with blue in it
