Been reading the odd topic about peoples complaints about the FG premium sound. After being in the same boat myself I decided to have a good fiddle with the settings. For me I listen to mostly music like Powderfinger, foo fighters, Coldplay, the offspring, greenday...etc. Now for me these settings work best and you can have the volume up around 20 - 26 with no distortion. Having the "loud" thing ticked doesn't make much of a difference at high volume and for what its intended for is better used at minimal volume. I have attached a few images of where the settings currently are on my Premo sound. Im by no means an expert but found that these settings work best for me. Base Mid Treble Equaliser
