I've only got a tone knob on my overdrive, which I usually set all the way to the bassy side due to insane midrange. I have had the same amp eq problem too though. Although... I have come to enjoy a recent setting. I love a huge fat tone and that usually results in the thought of above avergage bass levels, 50% midrange and a reduced treble level. This results in a screamin lead tone that distorts with big honkin chords. So I have come to enjoy the treble in the past week or so. A setting that has earned its keep (knobs go to 12 :D from 1-lowest to you get the idea) treble 5-6 bass 5-6 and mid about 7. This way everything balances out and no one tone bites through on lead or rhythm tones. Also, I should brig into the picture that I mic (the amp being a fender deville 2 by 12) it to another marshall 50dfx. Not the greatest amp, and its my old one, but this way I can get some chorus out of it which I dont have in a stomp box, and I can also further adjust the EQ. I tend to jack up the treble a bit more on this cuz It's not as harsh as from the direct source of the signal, and this helps greatly with cleaning up rhythm tones. Alright, I know I didn't really help your situation much, but maybe you got something out of that. :rolleyes:
