Also, the volume knob can be used, not for volume but as a gain control. Roll your volume back to get a somewhat clean tone and then roll it to 10 for some overdrive/distortion. So you can go from soft to loud and also clean to overdriven tone just by the way you pick and using the volume control.

I understand this. While I'm not great at this, I do have times where I can dig in and get that desired tone. I love it when that shines through.
So you're saying use the volume knob where as I have been thinking it's gain that gets me to the dirty tone.?? What level should the gain be at if one is using volume to get dirty.?? Can you expand on this a little bit.?? Good stuff for me right here. Thanks.
