Volume Controls

Not sure where to ask this one but.......
Combining the volume controls on the mic and the amp (and I have watched the amp videos re: feedback), I'm not sure about the difference between keeping the amp volume high and turning the mic volume down as opposed to keeping the mic volume high and turning down the amp. Some say the crunch comes from the high (gain?) mic volume and others' say crank the amp for crunch and turn the mic volume down. This is more for home practice or low volume gigs.
When I play around, I don't know that I'm hearing much difference with one of my amps but with the other the crunch seems to come with the amp turned up and the mic volume down - ?????????

Thanks David - that
Thanks David - that definitely gives me a starting point!!!
The general rule of thumb is to have your volume all the way up on your mic to have the strongest, most distorted, signal going to the amp. If this is too distorted, then experiment with lowering the volume of the mic and turning the amp up until you find your desired sound.
