V2 - JJ ECC83-S.

Although this is a high gain module, by far and away my favourite sound through this module is by splitting the bridge humbucker on my Ibanez and sending it through the Modern with the gain at about 9 o'clock, bright switch enabled, bass rolled off a little, mids a bit boosted and treble at around 2 o'clock. Produces a full clean sound with light picking but gets nicely gritty and twangy with heavier picking. Very nice gritty blues tone.
