Members ThrashensteiN Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 how do you like the voodoo mod? which mod do you have? Platinum, and honestly after spending the whole day batting between that and the Uberschall, I've decided with my situation this would be better for me. Now, after 2 hours of dabbling with settings, i have 2 (one with one without the sonic maximizer) settings i like to use. It makes it a whole different beast, it isnt as raw but still holds its brutality. Its like a swift violent killer and not so much a slaughterhouse.

Members ThrashensteiN Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 right on, do you know exactly what the platinum does tonaly? makes every drop of gain usable and not all fizzy/muddy. cleans up a lot of the slop in the mid lows and makes the highs crystal clear. the clean channel is exceptionally impressive, just sounds like a whole different amp. I'm going to record some clips this next week so I can finally put some up. You can hear it with another guitar on my bands myspace down below. thats one of our tone tests, its a random setting i just kinda dialed in that evening, similiar to the one i posted.

Members squealies6505 Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 what i can't figure out (might be realllllllly easy but im making it complicated) is that when i have my bass and res even on 5, with an epi les paul standard, and with the post on 2-3 going through my 1960B, the sound is SO bassy..i had to turn them back to 4..yet on here everyones got it up at 7 and 8! i know EMG's are thinner, but does anybody with passives on here run the bass high and not have any issues? it sounds extremely over the top to me..could just be the way my house is too..

Members Seduciary Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 I know this is an old thread, but I just bought a used 6505+, and after a few weeks of constant tweaking, I came up with these settings for the lead channel.Through a Marshall 1960 A:Gain - 6Bass - 7Middle - 3High - 3Volume - 2 - 3 (depending on the genre of music)Resonance - 10Presence - 0Through an oversized Diezel 2x12 with DARK stock Eminence speakers:Gain - 6Bass - 6Middle - 4High - 4Volume - 2 - 4 (depending on the genre of music)Resonance - 6Presence - 0These settings are as close as I can get to replicating the vintage Al Di Meola tone (not his current tone ) from the Romantic Warrior album.Clean channel (if there's such a thing on this amp )Gain - 0.5 (to eliminate as much break-up as possible)Bass - 10Middle - 0High - 0Volume - 5-6Resonance - 10Presence - 0And it STILL sounds like a tin can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
