I wouldn't set the Master Volume too high, as these settings produce a rather
hot sound. You do, however, have to push it above 3 or 4 to get great response
from the amp. Setting it too high, though, can mean a distorted sound (even
when clean) or even worse, like blown speakers. The effects settings aren't
really important unless you make use of the effects loop. At that point, I
recommend an even mix between dry and wet (12 o'clock), and set the switch to
LOW if you're using pedals, or HIGH if you're coming back into the amp from a
LINE output on your effects processor.
