Members noirjp Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 I've got a blue stripe and can't seem to really dial it in. Anybody have some settings, clips with settings or outboard eq suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noirjp Posted December 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 Wow I can't seem to dial it in because I could never get it loud enough. Jesus when you put it up to 5 everything changes on that amp. It's frickin sick!!!! It sounds like Metallica used to. Now I just need a place to play it in...well that or maybe a powerbrake. Anybody have good experiences with power brakes and this amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAmazingBlob Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 I always found it to sound awesome even at low volumes. Sure it sounds better loud, but you shouldn't need an attenuator to get good tones. What settings are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rushtallica Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 The blue stripe I believe is the same type EdgeofDarkness had, and it sounded great with his band, but I don't really know how it was eq'd. Maybe he'll see this thread and add some input with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeimBrent Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'd level out that EQ a bit. It's a pretty big gap between the 80 and the 750. I also like some Reverb, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members noirjp Posted December 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 Presence on 3 My head looks exactly like this one but black. Let me try the lower presence. I'm really going for killer thrash tone right now. I'm usually an Engl and a Marshall player. This amp is quite different from those. There is an unusual frequency in the mid that kind of annoys me. The amp rules though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zachman Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 Was that thing in a fire!? No, but I used to tour with it, so it's been across the entire US, and has been cleaned up since that pic. I got it new in '86, and have been contemplating having a nice wicker/wood box made for it. It's All clean now, see... of course the tolex is still 22 years old and it's a gigged amp not some showpiece of a bedroom collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
