@BenMGFletcher If the tube amp has TWO volume controls for the same channel, then you can achieve overdrive effects. Depending on what amp you have it will be labeled differently. Just turn your "Master" volume control up no higher than "1", then begin playing and turn the other volume control up SLOWLY until you achieve the desired amount of overdrive. After that you can adjust the master volume to your liking. The tone will change with the amount of gain so you'll need to adjust them too.

Thanks so much for keeping the sound clips short and sweet, with no long winded talking. Clearly showing the control settings seems so obvious, yet so many people forget or fail to do it...Nice playing, too!

How does achieving distortion happen with tube amps apart from turning them up real loud? As I play in my bedroom most of the time was wondering how you can get that nice break up between clean and crunch. Do you have to buy pedals that drive the tubes to achieve distortion at a lower volume?

[hotfudgemoney]

so do i, and you're doing it wrong if it's not breaking up on these settings. maybe you're plugging into the wrong input.

the 2 inputs are lower dBs and will give you more breakup but you lose a bit of headroom.
