Rocky4 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Where do you put yours? My Pro Jr is easy, volume at 1/2 and tone on full. I have a 2-12 DeVille that I am constantly fiddling with and was wondering how you dial in your tone controls.
djroge1 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 The amp I'm using at the moment has 1 volume and 1 tone control Where to tone is set depends on the song. But for just general good fun I think I have it set just barly past the half way mark.
Thundergod Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Easy: preamp volume at 25%, master at 50% (no more controls on the AC's "normal" channel)
dc3c46 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Depends on which amp; they all sound different. +1 Always depends what amp you got and what tone you want. I have a Lonestar Special and the settings are multiple for multiple tone choices and/or guitar I use.
brundaddy Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Depends on the rig but the guitar too ... for clean I go for a full shimmer with some twang which is often (on the eq) everything somewhere between 6 and 9 then I find a sweet spot on volume where it breaks up subtly. For overdrive or distortion I turn the mids to 10, bass to ~5, & find a place for the treble to cut but not hurt my ears (usu between 12 and 3 o'clock) - it can depend on the room though too. I doubt that made much sense.
AXE® Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Just turn everything wide assed open and git it . Sounds like hell but that's rock and roll beechiz.
Murph Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 My tone controls on the Blue Angel stay around 2:00. The mid actually effects gain on the Boogie, so might vary with the room. Murph.
deepblue Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 During my "Metal" playing years...(long ago). I took the mids, and I do mean ALL the mids right out of the equation.
GuitarJunkie Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Tone control?!? I have no idea what you're talking about...
Thundergod Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Tone control?!? I have no idea what you're talking about... Show off! Now you probably will post a pic of its bigger brother :-
Murph Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Nice bedroom amp there Junkie. Couldn't hang with the Blue Angel. If you bring out it's big brother, I'll be forced to flip the VISA....... (looking at a Lone Star) Best to ya. Murph.
GuitarJunkie Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Now you probably will post a pic of its bigger brother :- Nah... That one has tone controls. Nice bedroom amp there Junkie. I've been screwing around with it at home' date=' and I think it [i']might[/i] be loud enough for me to jam/gig with. I'll find out for sure monday night at rehearsal. If it works out, I'll be picking up a Radial Engineering - Headbone. That way I can hook the Mini Z and the Maz Sr. through the two 12" Celestions in the Maz and switch between the two "heads".
Thundergod Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 You know we... eh... you want to post pics of it! (or at least talk about it a little) So what kind of tone do you get from the little one?
GuitarJunkie Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 So what kind of tone do you get from the little one? Kind of like a warm' date=' fuzzy punch in the face!!! [img']http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/rockon.gif[/img] Unless you back off the volume on the guitar. Then it's just a slap. It might take a couple of weeks, but I'm going to try to get some video of it. Just guitar -> cable -> amp.
tuckomf Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I think it changes from room to room, depending on the acoustics. My sort of catch-all setting is Bass halfway, Mids all the way, High 50-75%. I've also found that the more volume I add, the more I have to turn down the highs.
Murph Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Kind of like a warm' date=' fuzzy punch in the face!!! [img']http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/rockon.gif[/img] Unless you back off the volume on the guitar. Then it's just a slap. That's what I love about the Blue Angel, EL84's are hard to beat. And, it'll do 6V6's also, Class A. Headroom has become a deal for me, playing bigger rooms. I'm going to be forced to go back to 100 watts, as much as I hate it. Best to ya. Murph.

It would be great if you manage to post that video, thanks for offering to do that!
