So let me just show you how I use it. Basically the way I set it up again is the clean guitar into an amp. So I make sure the amp is loud and fat and it's hard for me to play really loud here because it's my ear. But if this is a clean sound then I set up the R's it's just just boosting the volume a little bit but try to keep the sound the same. So it's basically enhancing the guitar it just sounds much bigger and fatter but it's like it's still the same exact sound. Now the thing that I like about it is very dynamic meaning it kind of feels like it's a compressed amp so if I push hard it started to sound like an amp is crunching you know so that's really important when you use amps that are not yours a lot of those amps like rental amps they just don't react or don't react the way you like them to so this thing just saves the day every time and it's really really dynamic so this is a clean sound this is without it see it's a big difference and then if I dig into it so it starts to get that crunch a little bit so it really feels like a real amp you know like it helps enhance the sound the tone now I use the gain this has two stages when it's in the middle it's like the old RC where it's all the way up which that's how I use it and what I do with the EQ is I cut a little bit of bass off to make it sound kind of like the guitar it's not too boomy and that's it but you can if I crack the gain to the next game stage sounds still good it's just it still sounds like the guitar that's the whole thing about it it's very twanging and it's very alive you know you can play fancy chords but I see it's very dynamic you can play a really weird chords and now this was on full gain which is the extra gain that the original one has so it's just very dynamic you know so bring it back to the middle where I use it and then so now I'll talk about the AC so the AC is basically like my overdrive so it's just not too dirty because I like to keep the guitar sound clear you know and it's it's twangy but not too much it's just kind of in the right place where the mid-range and it's the same thing if I play soft on it it's still kind of clean and then it's very dynamic so you know you don't lose the sound of the guitar and a lot of overdrive pedals or distortion pedals you just lose the actual guitar that's what I don't like about a lot of that stuff so I I don't put a lot of gain in the air I just basically put it at like 11 and then again with the volume I just it just adds a little bit of volume to the clean sound but not a lot of because I want to keep the sound of the instrument yeah so in some situation when I play my own amps I can probably get away just by using the AC to get my tone but the magic really happens when you plug in the when you play the the RC into the AC because that's when you get this really big sound that I that's kind of what I use for lead so this is only the AC and now it's gonna be with the RC so this is where I the the thing I like about it is you can play chords with it you can do anything with it but it's really big and you don't lose the sound of the guitar and I've tried to use gain from amps I have a two rock which is fantastic and a Marshall and Fender amps and it's all really really good but there's a lot less control with this stuff with the RC into the AC you have perfect control like the sound is really big and you can kind of tweak how much gain you need so that's what I've been doing for years really that's just been my lead sound forever since I figured out the RC into the AC is the way to go for me
