I would like to get input/feedback on the technical/sonic differences in using the High vs. Low inputs on a Maz.
How do you determine which input you use... I am interested in scenarios and why you choose the input you use?
I suspect this topic has been discussed before, but I'm not getting any hits searching the forum for this discussion.
Thanks.

It's been done on here already, somewhere. Lo input is just a lower gain input, like on fender amps. No tone difference. If you're trying for max clean use this and turn your guitar volume down a bit.

I use single coils on the left (high gain input) and humbuckers on the right (low gain input). Works fine.

Thats a neat little trick using a fs on the high I never thought of. I had a 73 Traynor twin reverb clone that I used an A/B fs on for the hi/lo inputs to give a little boost.
I got a maz jr on order (CANT WAIT!!!) I'm gonna try my A/B on it.

I don't know how I missed that little trickthe first time it was posted ( the hi/lo A/B), but it works great. Going to save a little cashish from buying a clean boost in the immediate future. Cant wait to try it on the gig Thursday.

Since there is no tone difference in the two inputs just use the hi and turn your guitar down more for clean. I tried the a/b thing and the upshot was I could do the same with my guitar's volume pot.

Actually, in critical listening and touch sensitivity, the two inputs will load the guitar pickup differently. Using the volume control on most guitars can also roll off the highs and some may not care for that. With a hot pickup and the low level input you will be able to turn up the amp and at the same volume have more clean headroom.

I see what you're saying. My guitar doesn't roll highs off and with just a cursory demo with an a/b I couldn't detect a tonal difference with my guitar or with my guitar it was so subtle as to be negligible. Probably guitar dependent.

I don't know much about the physics of guitar amplification, but do love the amazing tones i get from my Maz JR. I have found thru trial and error (mostly error) that my Teles sound best on the Hi channel and my hollowbody sounds best on the low channel (it does have HOT pups) And don't be afraid to experiment with completely out of the ordinary EQ settings, you never know what you might find

From what I've read on the forum it seems most ppl like singles on the hi and humbuckers in the lo to give a bit or a balance in gain throught the 2 input amps here.
