Default Potential SP tone documentation project for community

Something that a few members might be interested to compile on their own as an open source project, that is collecting all webpages which openly discuss the tone techniques used to create the sounds which were so iconic for listeners during the early Pumpkins' works. The format of practicality, to me, would be to save a copy of each webpage that held knowledgeable discussion on its subject - and at the extreme end, making a complete copy of Gearslutz' Q&A forum with B Vig. All these independent pages and sites could be compiled into a single folder for everyone to download, and serve as a condensed encyclopedia of Pumpkins' tones and methodology - including the influences of their studio partners which led to the iconic mesh of sounds which brought adoration to their earlier works.

If this concept isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to expand the explanation. Essentially, I mean that a copy of each early-tone insightful page be downloaded and stored into a folder ( or in the case of the B Vig Q&A, the entire subsection of the site be downloaded using a webpage downloader and included to the collection), and this folder be used as an encyclopedia of tonal reference preserved for posterity.

Set volume at max and use the gain knob for volume

Run a parallel channel with a limiter brickwalling hard for maximum bone rattle

I think it was turn the master volume all the way up and use the preamp's volume

Pre amp would be the gain depending on the amp

insetad of trying to emulating a non-master volume amp by turning the master on full, just get a non-master volume amp instead.

You forgot the part where you need to plug into the low input jack.
