Title: amp settings? Post by: Mr. Les Paul on July 22, 2006, 12:50:37 PM hey, what amp settings should i have to get a GnR or Ozzy sound? :peace:
Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: W 23 AXL II on July 22, 2006, 01:39:34 PM its hard, not knowing what amp u have and FX, but, in general....i would go with:
Gain/Drive/Distortion: 7 Bass: 6 Mids: 5 Highs: 7 Presence: 6 for rhythm guitar, u can scoop the mids down to like 3.....for lead guitar, boost the mids to like 6 or 7 and MAYBE boost the highs to like 8 and/or presence to 7 or 8 of course it all depends on guitar. this is what i use basically for my Les Paul and my Line 6 set to Slash's Plexi Lead 100 based on Slash's Silver Jubilee Amp Head from 1987, the grey/silver one. i have the Line 6 Flextone III 2x12 and its perfect for ALL amps, highly recommend it!!!

Post by: Shoco on July 24, 2006, 06:06:21 PM according to an old total guitar magazine
Gain: 6.5 treble:4.5 mid:7 bass:7 Pres:8 clean Gain: 4 treble:.5 mid:3 bass:9 Pres:0 Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: AdZ on July 24, 2006, 06:39:43 PM Just remember, mids are ridiculously important.
Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: JohnMorrison73 on July 26, 2006, 02:07:11 PM yeah yeah nothing to brag about but i have a marshall MG30 and my settings are:
CLEAN: Treble: Middle Bass: middle Distortion: Gain: all they way countour: all the way bass: middle Treble: middle FX: Fx level: medium effect: 75 percent of the time is reverb Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: Mobenrad on July 27, 2006, 01:46:00 PM I have a Peavey XL Supreme head running through a Carvin 4x12 and a Legion 4x10, and distoriton on the head is perfect for GNR. Just use ultra with the gain all the way up, and the body and bottom equal, not really mattering what they're at as long as they are equal. Edge should be halfway or 3/4.
Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: Dayle1066 on July 28, 2006, 06:23:26 PM You'll never get the exact sound without running a JCM 800 at loud volumes for that driven valve tone. You can get close but you'll never be perfect. And remember tone comes from the hands aswell not just the amp : ok:
Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: Alan on July 29, 2006, 11:22:42 AM i use these settings with a slash jcm head and a jubilee cab, sounds pretty close.
7.5 lows/bass 8 mid 4 highs/treble 8 gain 8 presence Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: Mr. Les Paul on July 29, 2006, 02:19:21 PM how much should i have on treble?? ???
Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: TheMole on August 07, 2006, 08:26:14 AM Anyone playing a valvestate (yeah, I know, shoot me... ;) ) and have an idea on how to make is sound SCOM-ish?
Have the Gibson Les Paul on the neck pickup, so that should be fine, but I can't seem to find a sufficiently 'creamy' enough sound, if ya know what I mean... Title: Re: amp settings? Post by: AXL 20 on August 07, 2006, 12:24:31 PM the ONLY way toa actually dial in a GOOD slash tone is through using a class A/B tube amp. I tried settingn up a marshall mg30 and mg50 to sound like slash and it just doesnt work. i cat get it out oif my microcube and when i got my peavey valveking 212 it was wonderful.
alan i am so incredibly jealous of your amp. |
