Red = OD / Yellow = Clean are Analogman's DIP switches standard settings...What's yours and why?

I won't know for 7 or 8 more months!
I got mine two days ago. At this stage I've settled on 'clean (red) into dist (yellow)' but I'll see when I use it live, I may change my mind.

I'm on my third KoT -two ver2's and finally a ver4 last year. With the ver2 I had the red set for dist and the yellow for OD, but since I can cascade with the Ver4 they both sit on OD mode. I find the clean setting a little too clean for what I do.
I leave one side of the pedal on all night every night and cascade the other side for leads. -Definitely my desert island pedal :AOK :AOK :AOK

I have me red channel set to dist and the yellow side set to OD, the treble trimmers are all the way down and I have both sides set to just above unity in terms of volume.
I use the yellow side for more low gain stuff and the red side is my main crunch tone...I almost never turn this pedal off to be honest but in truth I almost never run both sides together either...

Standard AM settings
Red = Overdrive followed by Yellow = Boost
Internal trimmers turned down for my Tels's single coils
I use each channel independently and together

Bought a V4 in the emporium and it is in the mail. Will keep you posted!~ Anyone experiment with diff. Chips if so which did you like if any?

I set the red up as distortion. I got it to sound about like what I was using an OCD for. It sounds good w/out putting too much hair on the notes. I think I'm gonna like having less gain.
The yellow is my clean boost side--just great--a little fatter and louder. I'm using it to boost for solos. Best part is, it will boost the red channel perfectly. The footswitches are close enough to click with one stomp. Finally some great engineering!

im using it as set from the factory. might eventually get around to trying some other configurations, but od into clean boost is working GREAT on my board. FWIW my KOT is preceded by a HBE Germacide and my board gets plugged into 1 of 2 amps, both of which are channel swichers used for clean and dirty. this setup covers a huge range of dirty tones. i love it.

I have asked this question of KoT owners but got little input...I want to get my hands on a few chips and try a few but I've yet to do it...

I have me red channel set to dist and the yellow side set to OD...
...same here... setting are different for tele and lester... tone is 11-12 o'clock for lesters and 8-9 o'clock for teles. Never played it live but may one day. GREAT pedal.

I use the red side (despite it being high gain mod) as low gain
I use the yellow as high gain (or 'higher' gain i should say)
I use the red side to add extra balls and overdrive without boosting volume when both sides are engaged. This only works running the red side lower gain.
