I think that the ONLY constant should be your playing. I've found pickup changes sometimes warrant a completely new approach to dialing in my amp. When I moved to the Wolfetone JB7, I dialed up a new lead tone that was the polar opposite of everything I was going for before, and am quite happy with.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of that.
