The 'Level' knob is related to the volume when using the line out port...

Nope, level is mix level for the FX loop, on full it's a serial loop, on 0 it's no FX.

Nope that's the Balance knob xD

The Level is to do without the line out, and the VLS ratio is weird - it changes the volume of the output without VLS on, and then the VLS volume is whatever the master is set at. So infact, VLS doesn't make it any louder - it makes the normal volume quieter.

Confusing stuff :p

Hmm, I assumed that's what the "Balance" knob next to the FX jacks did, whereas the level knob is next to the line out stuff

sweet, nice review, sounds about right. I think you can set the level of the VLS boost too, round the back somewhere.

After you said that I went to the back and there's a knob labelled "Level" I think that might be it - Not gunna check right now :p

You use the small knob labelled "V.L.S Ratio" that's on the far left (as you look at the back of the amp) to adjust the VLS settings :drink:

aye that sounds about right. :drink:

Here's some clips!

All of these are recorded with a PC Mic, due to my Shure acting up..

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=671776&songID=5737926

Ibanez straight into the ENGL - Channel 2 at the beginning, channel 1 at the end, full clean "volume" on, Reverb set to about 12. Whole song played on the neck pickup - Don't have the fingers to get that sustain at bridge =(
Song's Europa by Santana.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=671776&songID=5737987

Again, Ibanez straight into the ENGL - Channel 1 at the beginning, channel 4 for the rest, reverb set to full at the beginning and end sections, gain at 12 for the Gain channel Presence also at 12, and full on for the clean channel. Again all done at neck.
Song's Searching by Satch.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=671776&songID=5738018

Again, Ibanez straight into ENGL - Forgot to pull out a Wah, kinda neccesary for this song but whatever. Gain and reverb on full, Presence at about 3. If you hear this clip you'll understand why it's called a Screamer...
Song's Bad Horsie by Vai.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=671776&songID=5738204

Viper into ENGL, all done on Bridge pickup. Channel 4 with the presence at 12 and gain on full. Was going for a slightly more classic sound, but I wanted the sustain of the high gain channel. Saw so many people doing Stairway clips I thought I might aswell too...
Song's Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin - Greatest solo ever made tbh, not hardest, or fastest, or most technical etc, but it sounds so epic - And it's Zep.

Recordings done on Audacity - Needed a quick substitute, my Cubase was acting up >_>

(Not a good day for my gear, eh?)

By the way - Just out of interest, anyone else here that owns a Screamer, and can recognise some good settings? I haven't been super adventurous, seeing as I've managed to get pretty good tone with almost any settings - But is there any magic dials which you know of?

[Crazy_Joe]

Nice playing!!

Though the tone doesn't come through that well with a PC mic :(

Yeah - True, I keep planning to add recording stuff to my list of things to buy, but there are allways priorities... :p
