Turned right it will enhance the lows (giving a slight compression to my ears- just an inpression, turned left it will enhance the mid-highs, making the sound shiny.<br>                                           Posho<br><br>                                        Keep playing!]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I don't know what the Contour specifically does, but it does change your sound. On my Marshall I found I got the cleanest sound with most bite straight up. All the way left seemed to highlight the lows. All the way right seemed to bring out the highs. I used to like 2 o'clock position, but that's just me. Just experiment and find the sound you like best.]]></content:encoded>

Also while i'm on the subject, what does different settings of "tone" achieve? and how should tone be used in combination with distortion?<br>thanks, excuse the stupidity..............<br>Floyd]]></content:encoded>
