If you're referring to the "gain knob", keep it unplugged from the amp while setting gains. Then plug it in.

this will work or max it out because if you do it with out it as soon as you introduce it to the amp it will clip

i dont turn mine past 3/4. so i keep it at max i would play it with, or compete with for that matter. its worked out for me so far

turn the knob to the highest setting you would use, then go back and readjust your gain on the amp.
