I used Micky's tip about engaging the tone shift with my Tele today. Green Crunch with my Bad Monkey as a boost.
Gain 11 o'clock
Volume 8
Treble 9
Mid 1
Bass 11
Presence Noon
Resonance 3

Great ZZ Top "Tush" rhythm tone with the guitars volume backed off a bit. Cranked up for the lead.

I tilted the amp back against a table to see what my tones sounded like at least at low volume. Gain 7, Treb 3, mids 4, bass 7, res 5, pre 3 have to try out loud yet.

I mostly play classic 60-70's rock, Texas and Brit blues,
but have lately been playing to Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts. Can anyone help me with what he might use on his Marshall amp with his Les Paul for settings. Thank you

Before you tried the 5751 in V3 did you try it in V1? Did you remember any eq changes you did to compensate?

I am still running stock but here are the settings I use for most everything:

Clean:
gain: 6 Vol:1 Treb: 3 Mid:6 Bass: 6 Pres:6 Res:6 Rev: 3

Lead1: gain:6 Vol:1 Treb: 3 Mid: 6 Bass: 6 Pres:6 Res: 6 Rev:3

Lead2: Gain:6 Vol:1 Treb:3 Mid:6 (tone shift pushed in) Bass:6 Pres:6 Res:6 Rev:3
