Members RyGy Posted December 5, 2008 Members Share Posted December 5, 2008 I ahve noticed some really awsome clips of the ENGL E530, but with the four band tone stack it can be a bit difficult to get the settings that you want. I am hoping that other E530 owners can chime in, and post clips, and settings. Here are my clips. The first one has almost everything at 12:00, boost on, and contour off. Recorded straight into the computer using the built in cab sim. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6754741 The second clip I made is miced up with a 1-12 cab with a vin30. I did ever mode, and have pics of the settings. [YOUTUBE]w0ZTIiS0fwc[/YOUTUBE] And finally yesterday I tried something very different. I put the gain at 1:00treble at 3:00hi mids at about 10:00lo mids at between 10:00-2:00 (to taste)bass at 1:00high gain mode on, contour off.I thought that putting the treble up like that would suck, but if you pull back the high mids it makes the treble usefull, and it sounds killer!!! Lets see if we can get some more suggestions for settings. I will try to make a clip this weekend of the settings that I just described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gatelyne Posted December 6, 2008 Members Share Posted December 6, 2008 http://www.netmusicians.org/index.php?section=id&value=2552 Recording Settings: Scale:1-10Gain: 6Bass: 6Low mid: 3High Mid: 1 1/2Treble: 2Contour: outHigh gain selected. Keep in mind that I had to stray away from my normal settings to be able to use a decdent mic position. Normal settings: Gain: 6Bass: 7Low mid: 6High mid: 2 1/2Treble: 3Contour: inHigh gain selected. Another thing, I usually go for a dark grind type of tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RyGy Posted December 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 I have found that it is all about where the high mids are at. Right now I almost have the treble cranked, and with the high mids backed off a bit it sounds killer!! This amp cuts like a razor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I almost have the treble cranked, and with the high mids backed off a bit it sounds killer!! This amp cuts like a razor!! Im experiencing something similar. If Im just playing around, I like to keep the low mids cranks and the high mids around 2. If Im recording, I back off the low mids and raise the high mids.

Members peavey_impact Posted December 7, 2008 Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 The best tip I can give you is to use a guitar with an EMG 85 in the bridge. That pickup {censored}ing SLAYS through the E530. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RyGy Posted December 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thats what I have in my V!!! It is tuned to drop C, and it is massive sounding!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yeah I used an 81 for a while and liked it, but the treble would fatigue my ears. Switched to the 85 and I was like :eek: Also, if you havent done it yet, take out those ECC83 tubes and replace them with tung-sol 12AX7's.....my bassist and I both noticed quite a dramatic increase in punch and clarity after I swapped em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
