I have an amp like yours and i have never experienced what you have described, exept when I maxed out everything and that was just plain old understandable feedback coming from my guitar.

Way to go, gmann! It's a great amp!

Hey, thanks a lot!

Here's a short recording I did with only amp and HSS Strat.

DD.

Oh yeah..the pedals. 

Until the wah part it was a Maxon OD9, from the wah part it was a Reeza Fratzitz with a Vox wah.
Delay and reverb were added later.

No pedals on the rhythm track.

Thanks!

I use a 1x12 cabinet with a V30 speaker.

I find it to be the best and most efficient all round speaker for rock and modern blues.

I like Satch's live sound very much. 

I just did some experimenting and I found that setting the PPIMV really low to get bedroom volume gain does loosen up the bass and makes everything a bit "darker".

I had to turn presence and treble up full to get the guitar lo cut through the bass and drum parts.

Here's another recording using the PPIMV as an attenuator.

I recorded this in my living room using an OD pedal for the leads and just the amp for the riffing.

I use the PPIMV to play at bedroom levels if I want crunch, for modern high gain solos you need a pedal in any case.

It does change the tone of course because the more you engage the PPIMV, the more the preamp tubes are distorting and you get more of that buzzy gain that is generated by them.

However the gain is LOADS better than the one I had on my Marshall JCM800 at low volume with the gain turned up and the master volume turned down...that was really buzzy.
In my video with the Strat I demo the PPIMV by turning it up until full up...then I turn the amp channel volume up.
The tone you can hear (taking into account it was recorded by a crappy camera mic) is the sound with the amp cranked and the PPIMV acting as an attenuator. Not bad at all IMHO.
I also use the PPIMV when I am playing small clubs because otherwise i'd have to keep the amp volume at 0.1! :-))
I can certainly reccomend this option.
Hope that helps.
