SRV's signature clean boost setup — level maxed to push the amp into breakup, drive kept low for clarity
Your Twin Reverb is the exact amp SRV used on tours. The key is pushing the master volume high enough to get power tube saturation — the TS9 at max level into a cooking Twin is the sound. Mid boosted to 7 because SRV's tone lived in the midrange; treble held at 5 to avoid the Twin's natural brightness becoming ice-picky.
