I have a MT15 and I find it much better for high gain than the Friedman JJ Jr I had. It’s more dynamic and less compressed than the Friedman. It’s pretty hopeless for crunch or classic rock, though.

Yep and just use an OD pedal on the clean channel for the other bits and as said, it has a good clean pedal platform channel.

There's stuff on the internet about removing valves or doing things that can give you less gain or a more graduated gain sweep but obviously, you don't want to do that to a new one and make the warranty null and void.
