Hey guys
I would be interested to know what your favourite amp settings are for certain types of music and amp/ guitar set ups.
Just read an interesting article about vintage Marshalls and that they sounded great with the following set up:
Presence 0
Bass 3
Mid 8
Treble 5
Apparently the creamy natural warm rich characteristics of Marshalls really come out on these settings?
What do we all think?
-
well, it depends very much on the guitar of course.
one thing i learnt from this forum is to set the treble quite low (0 to 1), and then use the prescence control to adjust the treble.

My treble's pretty much cranked, lol.. But then again it's not a real amp.

i find with a lot of amps its better the other way presence controls usually add a tone of fizz in.
I find it better to add the highs in early in the preamp rather than in the power amp

Depends on what tone you're going for. Many players don't seem to hear the differences between treble and presence.
If you keep the presence down low, you don't get that aggressive grind from the amp. I use the treble to control the amount of 'cut' I want, then dial in the presence afterwards.
My EQ on a 2203-based circuit is:
Gain: 7/8
Bass: 6/7
Middle: 9/10
Treble: 5/6
Master: 2-6
Resonance: 3/4

I think my JTM45/100 clone would sound like a fluby ass with those settings. I use:
Presence 6
Bass 0
Mid 10
Treble 10

on my 2204, i'd say my settings are roughly the same, except i'd have gain and master reversed, gain at about 3-4, master about 7

My settings for my Marshall 800 when playing hard rock :
Gain : 10
Presence : 3
Bass : 6
Mid : 5
Treble : 6
Volume : as required
With my Laney it's roughly the same settings but the Gain/Drive combination is usually 7/7, and that's plenty of gain for my kind of metal, especially with the mids cut to around 3.

11

Tele BG50's/Strat (HSS, Crawler/IT's) into Orange Rockerverb 50/2x12 cab:
gain: 8
bass: 4
mid: 10
treble: 2-5 (tele 2/hb en neck strat 4-5)
master: 6
-
fiddle with gain and volume until it sounds right
twiddle with treble and presence until it sounds good
turn the mids knob until you're satisfied
fondle the bass control as to when you are pleased
unless it is a recto in which case look away and just flap your hand at random on the control panel
move a bit slightly more infront of the speaker and realise it sounds pants, repeat
-
On my Cornell Romany with the tone stack switched out I have the volume at 6 o'clock. There aren't any other controls.
-
Orange Dual Terror:
Fat Channel is the only side I use.
Gain: 2:00. Highly responsive to the guitar's volume knob.
Tone: 11:00 (sometimes moves, but rarely)
Volume: Dimed all the time. I control levels with the 7/15/30W switch.
-
On my Laney VC30, with my Fenders I tend to have:
Bass 5 to 6
Mid 5 to 6
Treble 4-5
With the Gibson I tend to go:
Bass 4
Mid 4-5
Treble 5-6
I don't have a presence and I do use volume and tone of the guitars a fair bit ( I am old fashioned).
Not hard and fast- tend to vary according to venue but that is where I would start.

That sounds like my kind of setup!

I like the sound of that.
I have a 5 way rotary tone and a volume on my MJW.
There's a Master Drive control as well
Pretty much all at 12 and a fuzz pedal for mayhem

Engl Classic:
5 being center.
bass: 4

on my dual recto 3rd channel for heavy stuff
in o'clock settings cause thats how I roll
prescence - 11.30
bass- 12.30
mid -11.30
treble-10.30
gain -2
with rectos cascading,stacked (whatever you call it ) eq/gain set up I find it better to dial the treble back and use the prescence for brightness . too high on the treble knob abd you dont get enough responce on the mids then bass knobs
-
I cheat, in a sense, and use the krank it preset in my Vypyr 60 :D
