Jaja yeha my friend that was there took those without me knowing
Like I said to you my idea on having the OD2 set hight at 8 is to make OD1 and OD2 work like a tube amp (... hold on a bit and let me explain jeje):
The master volume knob on a normal tube amp goes between the preamp section and the power amp section so this means that the power tube section is always working on at full output and the master volume knob controls how much of the signal actually makes it to the power tubes, so I look at OD1 as the preamp section and the OD2 as the poweramp section of a complete amp, this means that I first set the OD2 "thinking" of how much possible gain originals the amp that I'm trying to get close on its sound had (for example I showed you OD2 at 8 but that is because I was trying to get that hard driven JCM800s tone but if I wanted a Zeppelin crunch I would maybe put the OD2 at 4, this is because the amps they had back then had a lot less available gain in its design!) and then I set OD1 "thinking" how hard they would push the preamp section of the amp. Normally for rhythms OD1 at 4 and for lead OD1 at 6. So this all means is that having OD1 very low and OD2 very high its like turning the gain way down on a screaming loud non master volume amp to get a slight clean but with breakup tone instead of having the OD1 high and turning the OD2 low. this would be like trying to overdrive a bit a clean amp that is design not to have much distortion/gain... BTW depending on what you want to do both approaches should be used!
Tomorrow I get to my home and the first thing I will do is to check my clean settings and post them with OD2 at 0 for both Clean Tube and Dist Tube. on the Clean Tube I got some that will take you from a Fender warm a fat tone to sparkly clean and on the Dist Tube I really got a Marshall Bluesbraker clean but we could't recreate it on your 3TModded MP-1... just too much gain on the Dist Tube channel to ever get it clean BUT on a normal MP-1 those "Marshall" clean tones are there to be used too on the Dist Tube channel. I believe that you just can't get that "Marshall" clean tone using the Clean Tube channel because it is design to have q broader frequency band (aka a "Fender" tone stack) than the Dist Tube channel with it's mid boost frequencies (aka "Marshall" tone stack).
Hope all this crazy talk actually makes sense! jeje
PS:
I'm saving the beer for back home, you said to keep it really cold before drinking it correct?
