[QUOTE="thch, post: 2275611, member: 562032"] there are a few ways to do things. the DMM method's major failing is the inability to handle filtering. In the end, i guess it depends on desired use. if you turn off all filtering, then add effects, the hope is that you are aware of the consequences. eg, you know that a +18dB boost will cause clipping. as such, less agressive filtering could be done, like lowering some bands. if you do have a +18dB boost, and set gains @ that boost freuqency, you will end up with no clipping, but at the same time quiet sound. in the end, its really your choice. if you're applying a lot of filtering, you'd probably want to set with that in mind. if you plan to keep filtering to lower levels, you'll probably want to set gains without the fitlers on. as always. DMM is a tool. the ear is the only thing that matters. If you find you can get better sound by lowering gain, then do so. IMO the DMM method is more for people who realise, to some degree, what an amp does, but have forgotted that the amp is only a means to an end. somehow its now become fashionable to reccomend it on forums.
