Lets see em, I know there are a few of you on here. Just trying to get some different tones out of mine. I thought it was cool how they showed the set up of a few famous players that used them Like Rex brown, and Robert Trujillo(sp?)
On the norm mine is set up like so

Color Switch Depressed
Smart Gate switch Depressed
Bass @ 12 o clock
Mids @ 2 o clock
Treb @ 1 o clock

I blend just a smidgen of distortion with my clean signal when I want a little bit more bite on my signal.
Trigger Knob @ 1 o clock
Gain Knob @ 8 o clock

Both volume knobs differ depending on the acoustics of the room we jam in and how loud the guitar player and drummer are.

Just so you know, with the color switch "on", the 3 band eq is disabled, and you get a pretty big mid scoop. Sounds great solo, horrible in a mix. For the 3 band to work, the color must be "off".

really, it said in the instructions that you could still use the eq with the color switch engaged...maybe I'm just an idiot

I'm pretty sure you can use the EQ when the color switch is on. However when you turn on the distortion channel the Color Switch is always on even if the switch is depressed.
