[SuperD]

First post, seems only right it should be here, as I am an amp settings addict!!!!
Here is how I dial up my Blockletter 5150 for rehearsal...keep in mind I tweak for shows depending on venue etc.
ENJOY!

From left to right: (o'Clock)

Green channel Pre: 2:00
Crunch: In
Bright: In
Red Channel Pre: 7:00 (That's almost off...less than the number 1 on the dial !)
Bass: 1:00
Mid: 9:00
Treb: 12:30
Green channel Post: 10:00
Red channel Post: 2:00
Res: 1:30
Pres: 2:45 (lol!! Touchy touchy knob!)

Boss SD-1 in front,
Tone: 11:30
Gain: 8:00
Level: 12:30

Marshall 1960A's (x2 on the floor) w/celestion75's

Green w/SD-1 for rhythm, Red with NO SD-1 for a surprising clean, Red WITH SD-1 for a slightly gritty OD, and a GE-7 in the loop strictly as a lead boost that sits on the amp.

Amp switcher and SD-1 on the floor out front and I have at least 4 tones at my disposal...

 

[Distortion]

Here's a very saturated tone for a Mesa Dual rectifier 3channel head. Set the power switch to Spongy and use the tube rectifier.

It does seem over saturated but I used my EMG 81-7 equipped guitar and I find that they are a bit dry and sterile so that's why the gain is up there close to 3o'clock.

Even though this seems ultra saturated and maybe muddy, it is in fact very articulate because of the mids. I even sometimes use my Boss MT-2 (distortion 0, level a little less than half way) to push it over the edge and it sounds even more saturated but maintains a very articulate sound.

Love this amp, hope someone will enjoy these settings too

Lead channel, crunch off, brightness on.

I use a smartgate pedal and i run it through an orange 2x12 with v30's. I usually play it with an esp ec-400 with emg 81/60 or esp sc-608b with emg 808's.

My contribution is one that might not really help anyone, as I don't know a single person who has this amp, but oh well!

Sludgy yet still fairly tight crust-infused death metal tone:

Engl e504 Straight 100

Bass - 11 o clock
Mids - 1:30
High - 12:30 or so
Presence - 2:30ish
channel vol - 11 o clock
master volume - loooooow (this thing gets loud as fuck REALLY fast)

ALL the switches (save for the channel volume override) are engaged on the channel

all through an oversized 4x12 and VOILA.

 

[Atomic_gerbil]

Line 6 Spider Valve 2x12
Modern Dual/Tri Rec gain setting
-Insane Amber
1-10 scale
-Channel Volume: 7
-Presence: 9
-Bass: 10
-Middle: 0
-Treble: 10
-Gain: 9

 

[newamerikangospel]

What I am running for my Framus as of right now, using g25 matching cab

Lead Channel - Rhthym (The Lead channel has fuller mids/harmonically complex structure, and is overall more focused in my opinion) (using 0-10/non "O'clock")

Gain 3-, Presence 1.5+/-, Volume 8 (This brings alot of the richness out. I think its clipping the v5/phase inverter. Whatever it is, its magical)
Bass2.5+, Mid 8.5+/-, Treble 3.5+/-

Crunch - Lead
Gain 8.5, Presence 3-, Volume 9+/-
Bass 3, Mid 10, Treble 2-

+ = A tad over
- = A tad under
+/- = somewhere in the area (read as suffix, ish. Example 8.5ish)

He published on his site...very nice. Jpegs on the site under his gear tab. Hardly made a tweak off of those.

 

[y8c616]

Ashdown Fallen Angel 60dsp
Gain: 8
Treble: 8
Mid: 7
Bass: 4
Nice chunky, but not fuzzy rhythm tone. Just hit delay and boost for leads
NB: This head is reeeeally bass-heavy, hence the low bass setting and high trble and mids on my setting

 

[Herb Dorklift]

Mesa Boogie Mark IV - Chunky Rhythm (Recto-esque)

Lead Channel & EQ
Gain - 7.5/8 pulled
Treble - 7
Mids - 5.5
Bass - 2.5
Drive - 8 pulled
Presence - 2.5 pushed

Set volumes to whatever you want.

Mid Gain
Triode
Simul Class
Full Power or Tweed

Set EQ like the attached pic.

(The 1st and 4th sliders are supposed to be at the top line, the 3rd slider at the bottom)

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster - 4 Channel All Around Setup

Here's one I personally like for my Roadster:

Output - 11'o clock
Solo - 12'o clock

Channel 1 - Breathing, articulate Tweed cleans
Mode - Tweed
Master - adjust according to your playing volume, but make sure it is not set any higher than 12'o clock
Presence - 1'o clock
Bass - 2'o clock
Mids - 10'o clock
Highs - 1'o clock
Gain - 12'o clock

Channel 2 - Gritty Cleans (or Blues Lead with solo switch engaged)
Mode - Fat
Master - same as channel 1
Prescence - 11'o clock
Bass - 11'o clock
Mids - 1'o clock
Highs - 2'o clock
Gain - 2'o clock

Channel 3 - Chunky, tight distortion for rhythms (and if you got a tube screamer awesome leads)
Mode - Vintage
Master - adjust to playing volumes
Prescence - 2'o clock
Bass - 1'o clock
Mids - 2'o clock
Highs - 12:30
Gain - 1:30 - 2:30

Tube screamer settings - Keep everything flat and just turn gain up a tad, depending on how much gain you need for your leads

Channel 4 - Screamming leads
Mode - Modern
Master - same as Ch. 3
Prescence - 12'o clock
Bass - 11'o clock
Mids - 1'o clock
Highs - 2'o clock
Gain - 2'o clock
Solo switch engaged

These settings should give you some great sounds depending on what guitar you use

Amp : Peavey 6505+
Tight, clear, articulate and cutting metal tones.
Lead Channel
Pre : 10:00 - 11:00
Low : 12:00
Mid : 1:00
High : 1:00
Resonance : 12:00
Presence : 2:00
Post : 11:00

I use a Mesa 4x12 Recto cab. V30's.
Works great for most places, adjust carefully for different environments.
Run the tubes warmer, while keeping the gain low and the master high, with a strong pick attack will keep it rather big sounding whilst keeping clear from the low preamp gain.
Doing this also keeps the fizz low.

 

[col]

I'm using the crunch channel for high gain and the lead channel for cleans:

Crunch channel:
Crunch pushed in, bright off
pregain 5
bass 4
mids 7
treble 6
resonance 5
presence 6
post gain 5

Lead channel:
pregain 0.5
post gain 8

This is with a Marshall 1960A with G12T75's.

Anybody got some settings for an ENGL Savage 120?

This is the setup im running:

Savage 120 through an OS Mesa 4x12
I use a Maxon OD9, ISP Decimator, Boss NS-2, and Boss tuner. I sometimes run a Line 6 Echo Park and Boss Super Chorus in the loop but not much though. The type of tone im looking for is something like The End of Heartache album by Killswitch Engage, This Is Exile by Whitechapel and Jeff' Loomis' Zero Order Phase. Chunky and saggy, but tight, clear, and smooth.

The guitars i use are a Parker Fly Deluxe with stock pups, Alder-bodied Jackson Dinky with 18 volt modded EMG 85 in the bridge and 60 in the neck, and an Ibanez S7420FM with Dimarzio D-Activators.

Im also open as to what tubes i should equip the Savage with since imma change them soon.

Thanks in advance everybody.

You need the post up for this to sound right. I think 2.75 ~ 3 is a sweet spot. It's way too loud so I attenuate with a THD Hotplate 4ohm. The cab is a Marshall 1960A, and my guitar is a RG7321 w/ Invader or Jackson KV-2 tuned to C-std. I'm also using a Boss NS-2 in the infamous x-configuration.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

For some reason, this thread makes me wanna get a Mesa/Boogie Roadster or Mark V instead.
