myspace.com/jessenoah Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 the same as my rythem Mids cranked, treble half way, presence and bass 1/4 way, high treble channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ditto to what Jesse said about it being the same as rhythm. My band amp has a feature to boost just volume and that's what I use as I don't care for the lead channel very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have a TS-9 I use for lead boost. Drive, Level, and Tone right around 12 o' Clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 For truly "cutting/edgy" tones My Blackstar Head has treble wide open, mids on 1, bass on 1, and the "ISF"(tube blending) knob set 1 mark towards "U.K" tone from center position. Gain is set at a gentle but gritty, 2.5 These settings thru a 12" Fender-Jensen speaker make my guitars literally SING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have my amp settings pretty much like Bender4life. MusicMan 2x12 combo. Reverb channel, input 1. Treble 10, Mid 0, Bass 0. All that almost never changes. Channel Volume 7 for 'Bluesbreakers' sounds; 8 - 9 for Kossoff-type sounds; 5 for clean jazz. Reverb to suit. Treble is controlled wholly from the guitar Tone and Vol knobs. Typically neck p-up at (Vol) 7 - 8, (Tone) 3 - 4; Bridge at (V) 7 - 8, (T) 5. I've been told the re-issues' circuitry is different from the regular L-P's and, subsequently, the Vol knob has a more pronounced effect on tone. Certainly the tonal breadth is different. HOWEVER......I've tried these same settings on a few Marshall set-ups recently (both stack and combo) and couldn't get anywhere near the sounds I usually play. They seemed to have ten-times the mids even when they were rolled off totally! I'm sure it's just a case of experimenting but as they weren't mine I didn't have the luxury of time with them. It's been almost thirty years since I sold my mid-sixties 2x10 Marshall and have no idea what I used to set it to. (But in those days I was a Strat man... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 bass 0 (let the bass player have it, I'd rather be heard anyway) mid 10 treb 10 Presence depends on the guitar, usually 5-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Don't have a separate lead channel. Just normal & brite that I use as clean and combine them for distortion. I use my compressor / sustain pedal for my leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
