Tune the reso heads to the note inside and then tune the batter to anywhere from a minor 5th to a major 5th. I tune my batters to a minor 3rd which works great with the two ply head. DW tunes the batter to a major 5th to create what they term a "classic pitch bend". This is where the stock batter heads sing.
