Sound Description:
The hard blues edge sound that SRV was so famous for, best to use a Strat. Keep the volume on the guitar at around 7 and the tones on 10 and when you launch into a solo whack the volume up to 10, nice.
Settings:
Crunch - Bass 6 Middle 6 Treble 4 Volume 6 Gain 4/5
Lead - Bass 8 Middle 8 Treble 6 Volume 8 Gain 4/5
Clean - Bass 6 Middle 6 Treble 9 Volume 6 Gain 10

Devices Used:
Epiphone Del Ray, Randall 4x12 cab(warhead)
Sound Description:
Straight Rocking, with a ton of Balls. It has great tone, and is very versitile. I like playing spaced out jazzy stuff, as well as blues, straight up rock n' roll, and fast diminished metally stuff. So all you metal kids, forget about the Dual Rectifier, you'll get the sound your looking for, and then some out of this head.
Settings:
Presence for the clean, lead, and crunch, 6. I keep the reverb at about 4 on the clean, and just around 3 on the lead and crunch.
Bass is at 10, straight up. Mid on the clean is at about 6, for the lead about 5, and the crunch around 6. High on the clean is at 6, and for the lead and crunch between 4 and 5(trust me when it's cranked, that's pleanty of high). Volume, that depends where you're playing, but you should never have it down below 4.

Devices Used:
Gibson Les Paul Custom, I don't need fx's
Sound Description:
These are the setting I use live on stage. It is a clean, crunch and lead sound.
Use the clean sound in combination with both pickups.
Use the rythm-sound in combination with the bridge-pickup.
Use the lead-sound in combination with the neck- or bridgepickup (depends on the speed of the solo).
Settings:
Clean: preamp on 5, output on 4, bass on 4, mid on 6 and treble on 6.
Rythm: preamp on 8, output on 4, bass on 4, mid on 4 and treble on 5.
Lead: preamp on 8, output on 4, bass on 3, mid on 5 and treble on 6.
I put both the presence-knobs on 5, since too much presence screws up the sound in a PA-system. For the lead and clean sound I sometimes use the reverb on level 3-5, depending of the output-volume.
