I usually play with the distortion on. But I play hardcore/metal so it just goes with the territory. For me its more fun too. I play for me.

I prefer to go with more of a clean tone, I don't use any effects pedals and if I want a little distortion, I'll use my amp settings for slight distortion. 8) 8)

What's incredible is when you get a distorted and wicked tone that sounds clean like Clapton gets. In a Highway One Strat you'll never duplicate current Clapton, but you can get a very wicked tone that's more like Cream if you dial up the volume (gain) to 11 1/2 and hit the fat switch for nmore, roll back the tone knobs to 3, set up bass at 7, mid at 11, treble at 5 and let 'er rip.

I forgot - pickup set at bridge or bridge-mid. That pickup goes from a vintage tone with low gain and echo to a glassy tone with lots of gain. This is on a Blues Junior amp. At these settings, chords will be heavily distorted but still sound cool.
