Setup For Peavey Session 500

Steve Klemp · From: No Where Else But ** TEXAS **

Hey Guys. Got a Session 500 and I am looking for a starting place to set the dials. If you have one of these please take a look at it and let me know how yours is set. Pictures would be great!

I no longer have the 500 but these were what I used, at the time. What a tone. Hope these work for you.
Good luck.

Remember to turn the 'string effect' and 'phase' off

I had a Session 500 (one of the original small cabinet moldels) that I used for 15 years and my right arm is longer to prove it Laughing

My settings, that I used with a PP Emmons and with my Franklin are about the same as the settings I use on my Nashville 1000 and 112. Low +9, Mid -3, Shift 800Hz, High and Presence generally around 0 depending on how new the strings are.

I also agree that it's a great Steel amp, maybe the best Steel amp that Peavey made. I didn't think the "string" effect was all that great but the chorus is one of the best I've used. Fiddle players liked them too.

This chart was set up years ago for Scotty's show when most all the players were using Session 500s:
