The "Tone Volume", "Master Volume" and "compressor: threshold and level" controls can influence the amount of gain that hits your amp(s). Everyone's rig is different and I sometimes tweak those very settings depending on where I'm at and what I am doing. Those controls listed above are fairly fluid and should be adjusted to taste by anyone who downloads this tone. It's a Dual Sound set-up with a simultaneous Dirty and Clean tone... those "tone volumes" can be manipulated to taste as well. I keep my rig running pretty lean without much low end, but feel free to dial in as much low end as you need, there's a lot of headroom for bass with these patches.
