Ive got an American Strat, a Fender Blues junior amp and a boss me-50 effects pedal. Im looking to get a good setup. I can get an OK clean sound having the volume at around 3 and the master at full. Im sure it could be better though. Also using the distortion effects on pedal I can only really get a decent sound using the MT2 option with loads of distortion. Im after a light distortion for playing rhythm parts. Any advice would be great

	and now for something completely different
