A few years back I dropped string size to lights.. my 67 year old hands thanked me🤷‍♂️

I let others use my amp but I have a system.. I turn gain or preamp down as far as possible so it limits their ability to even get in a clipped signal then I crank up the compression ratio so that it works as a limiter. I insist to leave the settings and if they need more volume i show them...
