It's worth noting that you get some difference in tone simply by using different settings of 'volume' and 'master'. For example - on my amp, v=10 m=3 has less highs compared with v=4 m=10 (which gives roughly the same sound level and little more noise). All the other numbers are also available - there is no rule which says one of the knobs must be on 10!

NOTE - For the first year I had this amp, I thought the lead level knob changed the amount of distortion (like a gain control). This is not so. It's a volume control for the lead sound. There is some control over how much gain, depth, distortion you get, but that's through adjusting the Volume knob (= input gain). That will also affect your clean sound. It might also help to change V2, as different brands may have different gain and that will affct the distortion level. (It'll also affect how much reverb you get.)
