Although I am sorely tempted to play the thing at 12, I rarely get
invited to play stadium gigs, so I don't really know what it sounds
like at that level. Jere's what I generally settle for:

Volume (Normal) 3.5
Treble 4
Bass 7
Middle 4
Presence 3

Of course is I really want to scream I run up the middle and treble
and pull the bass down to compensate. Also, these vary substantially
from room to room.
