Bridge humbucker selection

Funny enough I played again last night, and tried to control feedback by muting with both hands, 9/10 it worked and i think i may have it under control, however for say, the start of songs when i have the dirty channel kicked on sometimes it will squeal.

The threshold knob was on 11 o'clock all night. And i also took the gain down to 5 on the pre-amp. It was on 6 before. I backed off the gain on tubescreamer which seemed to reduce feedback.

I also noticed on the wireless receiver the signal light to detect there's audio coming from the guitar kept flashing red several times, whatever that means.

I prefer not to be messing about with foam and stuff, just hassle for me and knowing me i'll probably mess it up!

I have NO gain on the tubescreamer. Level boosted all the way up, tone where you want it (around 10 o'clock for me).

Around 5-6 on the lead channel pre gain.

If I want additional gain for a solo or something I kick in the MXR CAE Boost pedal, which I have ahead of the screamer (I actually use an MXR Custom Badass Modified O.D. these days, but I can get TS-9 or TS-808 sounds out of it depending on whether the bump is on or off).

I find this works for me.

With gain through the pedals - and especially if I used a 'distortion' pedal at all! - I got uncontrollable feedback when riffing.  I can get controlled feedback when I kick in the boost, the rest of the time the overdrive is tightening up the base a little and boosting the preamp for more controllable gain.

The gain is the one on the left isn't it? That's all the way down. The one on the right is on 10 o'clock, with the tone in the middle.

We have songs with a lot of stop start chugging riffing and the majority of the time it was clean stops, just at the end of the songs where the stop is dead on the beat, there needs to be complete silence. If i can i'll turn the volume knob on the guitar down to zero or click off the dirty channel.

Don't be afraid to dime the level.  Then reduce it on your amp if you need to.

I can't remember which knob is on which side but I think the level is on the right.  The one on the right is either called 'gain' or 'drive'.  Back that right off.

I like my pre gain on 6 on the lead channel with the screamer set as above.  Like I said I can use the boost pedal when I want more gain, but for riffing that's too much.  The Peavey preamps produce heaps of gain!!

Drive is on the left, which is at zero. Level is about 10 o'clock.

I find the tubescreamer tightens up the bass end and makes squealies scream a bit more. I've tried playing with and without it on the overdrive channel and it loses that thud i reckon.
