The amp is a Matchless Lightning Reverb.
Getting the amp to the edge of breakup and clean up with the volume pot gives me two sounds, KOT OD is my higher gain sounds and the boost for a solo.
It sounds great.
I have a bigger pedalboard with more options that I use most of the time but I can gig the smaller board no problem at all.

On my 40 watt 2 channel Marshall i don't even use either channel anymore. I go straight to the power amp via a Joyo American Sound
I use a prince of tone as an always-on boost into my JCM800, but that’s just to tighten up the drive, so doesn’t really count.
I’ve been using an hxfx recently, but it’s still set up the same.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
(1) As Keef in a Stones tribute I used to have just a Hot Cake into a Matchless Lightning.
(2) For shits and giggles I once played an indie covers gig with an always-on Fuzz Face into said Matchless.
(3) My rock’n’roll setup is a drive (low gain solo boost) and delay into 5E3.
I also once played a soul gig with no pedals, just Tele into Matchless.
I do have a Mosky Silver Horse, but that's only for matching pickup output levels across all my guitars.
Ideally I'd have two drive pedals, but that could also be a compressor, or a boost so technically one OD would be fine.
It also depends on if you need very "clean clean" for playing country or funk. That makes the 2 drives thing quite useful, but if your clean can be quite dirty in the first place then one drive is actually fine.
Home use only so YMMV if gigging.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
