    Depends what you want to get. Alot of people use it as a booster for normal distortion, but I find it works best on its own.
    If you want a great fuzzy but not too fuzzy sound...put the sustain up all the way, tone at 1 o'clock and volume at whatever you want...i recommend 11!

    best way is to fiddle bout with it, you get that real weezer sound off them (blue album) dont expect to be able to play proper chords tho, its the wall of sound effect that you get, esp if you have two going at once! they are best wit single notes rather than chords.

    Strumming chords with it is fine, just dont have the tone down too low, or else you'll sound like koRn...and you dont what that now do ya...
    As for sounding like Weezer.... *sigh* If only :(
