Amp Settings Database

[TheWarAgainstTime]

I use the same settings on the red channels of my 6505 combo and 5153 mini:

Pre/gain: 3.5
Low: 6
Mid: 6
High: 6
Res/pres: 6
volume as needed

I'll adjust the low and resonance depending on the volume I'm playing, but they normally stay right there around 6.

I boost the front end with either a Maxon OD808 or OD9: drive at 0, tone at 6, volume maxed. Decimators and various effects complete the rigs, but the boosted amp is the core of my sound. I play the 5153 into a Mesa Traditional 4x12 and have messed around with using the combo speakers or the Mesa with my 6505.

For the 6505 I like these settings on the lead and rhythm channel:
Bass: 6
Mids: 6
Treble: 7
Presence: 8
Resonance: 8
PreGain (Lead) : 3
PreGain (Rhythm) : 6.5
PostGain: as needed

I put an OD out front and then a MXR 10 band EQ in the effects loop with these settings:

Level - to your taste, I never go above 3

TS Mini (in the front)

If anyone has any GSP 1101 settings for the following amps it would be greatly appreciated : Engl Invader 150 , SE , Powerball 2 , Deizel Herbert , Peters Chimera , Bogner Uber and Ecstacy . Mesa dual rec and triple . I know it's a lot to ask but I'm playing in three bands right now and I don't have time to download everything I need . Thanks everyone . Cheers

How did I not know about this thread.

Big bad tight metal (Keith merrowish tones)

Evh5153 100w.
Red channel
Gain: 930 o'clock.
Bass: 3oclock
Mids: 2oclock
Treble:noon
Presence 330

As 805 in front no gain level max. Mids 1oclock bass 1oclock treble 2oclock.

Using a real bright keisel with stock lithiums. Makes for s real nice surgical metal tone.

I have a Laney Ironheart 60 watt

Gain: 6-7 (Guitar Dependent)
Low: Noon
Mid: Noon
High: 2-3 o'clock
Resonance: 2:30 oclock
Presence: 2-3 o'clock (Guitar Dependent)

I run a ts-9 with the gain at 9 o'clock the tone control at roughly 1-2 o'clock and the volume maxed.
I also run an MXR ten band EQ in my effects loop. I cut the lowest lows and highest highs almost all the way off to reduce some of the super gritty sounding highs when playing with higher gain. I boosted the low and high mids a touch and the main mids a TON as it seems the Ironheart is a bit lacking in that department.

The gain of this amp is REALLY smooth so having the gain set a touch higher at 7 actually doesn't effect your sound as much as it would say with a 6505+

I run this to a 2x12 Mesa Recto Horizontal cab

 

[TheFireSky5150]

Anything for an EVH Djenty1djenty3 50w?

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

Black Metal amp settings? Stuff like MGLA, Morphesia, Thy Light, Advent Sorrow type tones.
What would the settings be?

I'll admit this amp has a dozen ways you can dial it in and still get great tone. It's one crazy amp!

Yeah so one thing I've discovered after owning the AT100 for a while...is that its not as bad as some folks would like to admit...there's a trick to it..

This is my general tone. Its very Articulate. I'll put a vid up at some point.

Preamp Volume: MAX
Contour: OFF
High: 2
Mid: 2 or 3
Low: 8
Low Res: 8
Gain: 6

The amp is voiced strangely. The Mid control really is focused too high...its more like a high mid control...if you turn the contour off...1K actually becomes audible...and Mid range is your friend!

Better tubes really helps to. I also use my quadraverb to boost the mids too...only slightly though. Hope this is useful to other AT100 users

What?!! Why would ANYBODY hate on the At or ATX100? It's probably one of the greatest tube tone values ever made as far as metals concerned aside from maybe Peavey VK100 or Windsor..

 

[Rxcoma]

I score them on guitar center used FREQUENTLY for $179.. I have three... Tri mode Rectifier tube head with 100 tube watts. A nice and rugged look and edgy sound for under $200? Anyone who could hate on that either doesn't perform metal.. or is an absolute dildo bounce by brand slavery.. fuck wutcha heard AT-100 KILLS for the money
