The Mark V's pre-gain Bass knob must be kept low around 3 to prevent low-end flub with the baritone Drop Bb tuning, using the graphic EQ in a classic slight 'V' shape instead for low-end punch. Extreme mode on Channel 3 delivers the aggressive high-gain saturation of the studio Soldano SLO-100 and Randall Treadplate tracks without needing an external overdrive. Treble is pushed to 7 to give the bridge humbucker immediate bite and pick attack definition.
