If I'm just trying a pedal, again everything at halfway will point out (generally) whether you like the pedal or no
This method has never let me down.

Mine is set to distortion and it is the higher gain red side model, with a buffer.

I always have my guitar volume rolled back a little to around 6/7 as i find you get a lovely tone/feel with the KoT oaround there and you can obviously bring up the volume for all out filth if you need.
I usually have the below settings on both sides. I use the yellow side as a clean/breakup boost and kick in the Red side on top of the yellow side for a super lead tone and thats the point i usually jizz my pants!
Kot settings (Same on both sides)
Volume - 11
Tone - 12
Drive - 4/5ish (Pretty full on and dirty!)
I have both set about the same as Octatonic's pics - right side is clean mode, left side is overdrive.
Use them basically as a boost into a Wampler Plexidrive, or on their own for blues-esque type overdrive.
And the two stacked - is a thing of absolute beauty, just wonderful.
Pushed my Klon KTR off my board
Observations #1- I had always not really paid attention to the 'cuts through the mix at higher volumes' comments before. Well get this. Using @octatonic suggested settings the fecking thing was on fire. Left side was luuuurvely. Nice and crunchy. With the strat it was clean with a bit of break up. Add some some boost from a mini spark and got mildly filthy. With a les Paul it was just on it. Then on the rhs, sweet Jesus, it hit the spot every time. Irrespective of guitar. Add Lhs to taste and it if really want some, add the mini spark. It was fecking dangerous- the sound was that good I missed several ques on songs!
observations #2- add a decent power supply. I bought a 4x4 from @handsomerik and the clean power has made a massive difference to the whole pedal board. No hums, interference, noise etc. Even the keely compressor which is normally as hissy as a box of snakes was quiet.
i am now seriously worried that my GAS is evaporating.... I ant think of anything I want.....eek!
It is such an awesome pedal.
