To my way of thinking, the main purpose of the Ultra-Tonic is to provide a pleasing AND STABLE amplified tone that will accommodate a variety of live performance situations. For that purpose it makes more sense to use a PA system or amp to determine the optimum multi-switch position. Beyond that point, I’d certainly be open to any EQ adjustments that would make the tone more pleasing to my ears in any particular live setting.
Gary, Thanks! I've made a DIP switch adjustment of one switch up from where my demos were recorded. I'm hearing it as helping a bit but I'll explore the whole DIP-switch array again, which is kind of what I did after installing the Ultra Tonic but it makes sense to redo the process.

I like the mic idea and that'll likely also figure into the process.
