Mine breaks up with ease, can go into pure face ripping distortion when I want it to.
I really only have mine set to a nice wooley overdrive. My gain is set low around 8:30 to 9:00, and the master is full open.
If you want to send any guitarist home crying to mamma, turn the master down and the gain anywhere past 12.
thanks for the tip. mines been sitting in a bin for years. wasn't all that happy with it on guitar. just got done noodling with it & it sounds great on bass. the eq still seems weird, like it doesn't respond as i'd expect, but it delivers some good punchy grit & drive when properly tweaked.
