My settings on the CS-3 going clockwise are..

Level......3 0'clock

Tone...... 1 0'clock

Attack....up full

Effect... 10 0'clock

I do use it with the twin tube on the crunch channel for lead as well or for clean lead solos..sometimes i use it with the duncans lead channel but to be honest the lead channel on the twin tube has plenty of sustain as it is....i don't need a very heavy distortion for rythmn and the bits i do need i can get by with the twin tube although the lead channel is maybe a bit dark for some..it depends on what style of music your going for...i normally use the crunch channel for a dirty blues type of thing..a bit like sir keef of stones fame....i suppose i'm using the CS-3 for a slight treble boost with a bit of compression..i know where people are coming from when they don't think it's the best out there...all i'm saying is it's not the worst either..or it could be that i've just got used to it(10 years+ on my pedalboard)...if you think a valve distortion is the way to go,check out the Blackstar pedals made in the U.K by ex Marshall employees they look very good......hope this helps.. and i don't know if this is any use to you....the SD twin tube and the Blackstar pedals use the valves in full power mode as in a real amp rather than in starvation mode like some other makes....valves get natural compression as well if they are starting to overdrive... could it be that with a small amp like the pro junior tht maybe you have some natural compression going on and are adding too much with the CS-3 if the effect level is up too much....i use a 15 watt selmer stadium on some gigs and i know that this amp only need a hint of compression as it's a very warm sustainy amp already... probably something to do with the valve rectifer in it.....

Thanks, I will definitely try that out with the cs-3 when I'm next near it (home from university (and my pedalboard!) at the moment). I have heard of blackstar and they look interesting, It's a shame I don't know anywhere that stocks them because they are a bit on the steep side to buy and not like. I am aware of the way some valves are run in starvation and I think I'd rather have something running off the mains. Generally I don't like it too metal, which is why I think a the twin tube might be my cup of tea. My only concern is if the price is too high I might as well sell the pro junior and spend the money I would spend on a new pedal to get a two channel amp, but I quite like the pro junior, as far as my first foray into valve amps goes.
