Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

I would set it for Combo amp. Otherwise you could set the speaker emulation
for whatever size speaker is in your amp. Using the 4-band EQ and the
different output options you can tweak it to sound the way you want.

Thanks David for your response. Would you have the vf1 set to "Power
amp combo" when using the vf1 as a pre and going into the effects
return of your guitar combo?
