I have been playing some without any effects other than the built in verb in my C-30, and changing between channels and I have to say, it is a lot of fun! It seems like I can hear a lot more of what my pick is doing on the strings and the amp seems awfully expressive just by itself. Picking a little harder, or digging in just a bit harder goes a long way, then backing off sounds oh so sweet. I know Plank has spoken many times about learning to play your amp, especially a tube amph. Other good players here have said the same thing, Tone and Spud come to mind. I don't know what I am doing and I am just messing around with it, but it sure is fun!

Any thoughts on some specific things to try as I play around?
