Im convinced that you cant get a good tone using the 2101's pre amp and the Amps pre amp.something about the double pre-amp makes is sound shitty.
Ive tried with My Marshall, My Genz, and my JSX....all poo.
I love the 2101's sound using a power amp but it dosent compare to my JSX. in a live scenario especially with a 7 string. I wish to to hell that the effects loop interfaced the amps pre stage like my old DSP256! Then I could benefit from the 2101's effects and the JSX's tone....that would be Nirvana!!
Oh well.

It depends on your taste and situation. I was using overdrive for rhythms and grunge for leads for the longest time, but now I\ufffdve been using the tube distortions a lot. Sometimes what sounds good alone sounds much different in a band setting. Regardless of what people say I still gravitate to the smiley face EQ (or at least mildly amused EQ). I find using tube settings requires me to cut the low end of the EQ more.

Subject: Re: [gsp-2101] How to get a good sound of Distortion using Combo amps?
Try using the clean channel of the amp with the amps controls set to almost flat as a starting point. Use the grunge distortion, try the lowest distortion setting and set to taste. The
foundation of the tone is in the Digitech e.q. with the grunge.
