Topic: carl martin setting

hi everybody,
i was just wondering if any of you got an idea of a setting for a carl martin hot drive&boost
to get a nice"crunch" tone because all the settings i've tried sounded too "powerfull" or not enough to me.. so if you guys can  help me ???
thanks

When Joe used the Carl Martin (he doesn't currently) he only used the boost side of the pedal- I don't think he ever turned the drive side on- all the drive is coming straight from the amps.
