I use a TS-7 as a back-up overdrive.

Drive: 11 o'clock (for some songs I set it to 2)
Tone: cranked
Level: Between 11 & 1 o'clock

We play indie rock and don't need the super saturated sound, just a little crunch. Wish it had more bass range, but then again, it's only a back-up.

It depends on my mood. the tone is the only constant at 11 o'clock. Somtimes i drop the drive all the way down and level up for clean overdriven boost. somtimes i set the drive at 3 o'clock and level at 12 o'clock and just rock until the neihbors come knockin' on my door! CAN I GET A HELL YEAH!?

Ahaha... HELL YEAH!



With the Keeley Mod... 3 o'clock is actually quite distorted. Very good for rockin'.
