Surely you jest?

With unlimited settings on the amp; unlimited factors on where/how you pick and bar the guitar; and, what playing environment you might be in on this occasion, or another.........

can you really believe that there is ONLY ONE PERFECT amp setting for country music?

I find this hard to believe........ You're putting us on, right?

Lavelle, here's a good start for you. You can + or - the settings to tweak it out! Ray
Pre Gain: 3
Post Gain 5
Low +9
Mid -3
Shift 800
High -3
Presence +6
Reverb 4 1/2
This is just a start. With your delay you don't need as much reverb. Hope this helps. Ray

Ray, you and I must be drinking out of the same crick-- just for the fun of it I checked the settings on my 400 out in the office where I rarely but sometimes practise a little --
Pre Gain 3
Post Gain 5
Low +9
Mid -3
Shift 650
High -3
Presence +6
Reverb (no effects) 5 1/2

If'n we're wrong--we'll sink together Surprised

Bill, it must be the water!!!!!!!!! Put your shift on 800 one time and see how much difference it is than 650. Of course, its different strokes for different folks. I know that Lloyd Green use to set his on 800. If you need more bite, pull out the brightness knob on Pre Gain and you get a pack of dogs looking for you. Ray

Lavelle, now that your question has been answered, let me hi-jack here a bit. I heard you play at our Branson jam last yr. for my first time & got your CD then. It is the best tribute of Hank Williams songs I have ever heard with your singing & steel playing also. I use it as a practice tape sometimes. Thanks!

I know tone is in the ear of the beholder, but I set mine a little different.
Low- 3 o'clock
Mid- 3 o'clock
Shift- Off
High- about 2 o'clock
Pres.- about 2 o'clock

I know this is really different than everyone else runs, but it sure does make my Emmons' sound sweet.

Hey Kid...
When you say "Shift-Off" do you mean straight up? See you in Prattville soon?

Mike Brown · From: Meridian, Mississippi USA

The SHIFT is never off if the MID control is anywhere other than '0'(straight up at 12 o'clock). Here is an article that I posted on the Peavey website a few years ago;

Based on my playing experiences using the Nashville 112, Nashville 400 and Nashville 1000 amplifiers,
I have found that our MID and SHIFT equalization controls are extremely helpful in locating that midrange
"sweet spot." However, I have also discovered that some of our customers are unaware of what
takes place when turning these controls. A simple explanation of these controls may assist in avoiding
that "nasal" mid-range tone that is so unpleasant to the human ear.
The chassis artwork around the MID control indicates that "0" is located at the 12:00 position (straight
up). The full counterclockwise position of this control indicates that the MID range frequency can be cut
up to 15 dB. Fully clockwise indicates that the MID range frequency can be boosted up to 15 dB. The
frequency that is being boosted or cut depends on the adjustment of the SHIFT control. This control
selects a frequency between 150 Hz and 1500 Hz that is to be cut or boosted by the MID control. Hence,
the MID and SHIFT controls interact. Mid-range frequencies between 150 Hz to 1500 Hz can be selected
using the SHIFT control.
The LOW, HIGH and PRESENCE center frequencies are fixed and can be cut or boosted at that
specified frequency by rotating the knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
To set up your Nashville controls, we suggest that the PRE GAIN and MASTER GAIN controls be
adjusted first, then set the LOW, HIGH and PRESENCE controls to the "0" position. Proceed with the
adjustment of the MID and SHIFT controls. The REVERB control should also be set to taste. Please note
that this procedure works well with any instrument that you choose to play using the Nashville Series
equalization circuit.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our Consumer Information Line at 1-877-732-
8391.

Roger, what I meant was, I run my shift on "0". All the way to the left. I found by runing my mids at around 3 o'clock, and turning the shift all the way down it makes it a little sweeter. Just one tone-deaf fellas opion. Laughing

All these years the big boys been tellin us how to tune with them 3rds real flat and now we find out they were tuning straight up. Maybe the next little secret is that their amps are set straight up too.
