"...Steakster has it right, otherwise adjusting gain should not change the sound at all..."
Agree. Amps somewhere along their output level show the least distortion so one might conclude that is the point they will sound their best but I have not been able to hear any difference by adjusting the input gain on amps. The one exception is reducing idle hiss on high gain amps when turning the input gain down.
