How do you set your tone?

[andergtr]

I'm definitely not asking where the tone comes from!

I'm looking for responses about when you get a new guitar or amp, how do you setup your controls, and what comes first...

a) the amp? No EQ and roll in to taste? Start from noon and work from there? Everything dimed and roll off to taste?

b) on the guitar? Neck / middle / bride pickup setting? Volume and Tone knobs on full or somewhere else?

Or some back and forth combination thereof?

1. for amp, set everything at noon and start from there.

2. for guitar, bridge pickup and everything on full on the instrument so i can dial in the sound i want.

I do this but I typically put the guitar volume on 8-ish so I can roll it up and back as part of the process.
