How do you use your tube screamer ?

[Sly]

Do you use it on the clean channel, with just a bit of crunch, or on the lead channel ?

I'm sure most people *here* use it to keep palm mutes under a leash and tighten the overall sound of the lead/heavy channel. You can also use it in bluesy stuff etc to spice up the clean channel.

The most common setting is the pedal gain at 1/10 and the pedal level at nearly max.

I use the drive at 10 o'clock, tone near 12 o'clock and the level at whatever level makes it so the volume is the same on or off. It's basically to tighten up the high gain channel.

I'd got for gain between 3-6/10.

And I tend to back off a little bit of the gain on the amp accordingly

I just bought a TS9 the other day, slapped it in front of my Triple Recto and i must say i was a little skeptical on how much of a difference it would make but after a little tweeking i realized once again how killer this forum is! Yes the ts9 removed alot of the muddy ass lowend from my Mesa only one problem though im going to have to re-amp all my guitar tracks now

And as a side not i also picked up a Sansamp Bass driver DI and it kicks ballz! a must have

I have my volume at whatever keeps the apparent level on and off identical. I vary the tone and gain between the guitars, to 'tame' them both as needed - my 6-string has a DiMarzio D Activator in the bridge, and my 7-string has a JB-7, so obviously the JB-7 (with its lower output and less middy response) likes to have more gain and a less trebly tone setting.

I also use the same settings clean in a parallel or single-coil split configuration for a mild breakup that I can control well for times when I need to do that.
