This is a very basic direct setup intended to make it easy to hear subtle differences in the TS7's sound without interference from additional processing afterwards.

The output of the RC-20 goes to the TS7 Tube Screamer. The Tube Screamer's output goes to the Whirlwind EDB1 direct box, then into my Alesis Studio 24 Mixer and into an Event Layla 20 sound card.

The TS7 Tube Screamer's knobs are set as follows:

Drive:	12:00
Tone:	12:00
Level:	Maximum
