I ran a pedal board for years but after about 6 months with the firehawk finaly getting my presets in order, it is a work in progress as I have adjusted and changed the settings for every song on our list many times but it is getting better , the volume level adjustments seem to require the most work especially songs that switch from clean to distortion , i run it through my EVH using 4 cable hookup and really happy with the tone I am getting now out of it
