My 'new' Vintage WEBB Amp!!
Hey Guys!!-
Recently got hold of a MINT CONDITION WEBB amp (not the reissue). It looks and sounds GGGGRRRRREAT!!! AND YES, after playing it briefly, it is The HOLY GRAIL!!! (much better than my NV112)....ALTHOUGH IT WEIGHS A TON!!!!!
However, the sound is SO BIG!! and there's so many GOOD settings, I can't figure out which to use.
Is there anyone out there who can give me a standard 'knob' setup (if there is such a thing) that most steel players use for these ?
THX so much!

Sorry Bill,
It's an 'only-child' (no siblings)
But just to throw some salt in the wound, here's a pic. LOL!
Seriously though, hope you get hold of one sometime.... like porsche, 'there is no substitute'.

I bought my Webb around 1994 from Mr. Webb himself. It was the first one built after the company being dormant for 10 years. It is still going strong, been dropped twice too!
My settings vary depending on which guitar I use but the selector is always on the right.
sensitivity: 7-10
Volume 2-3
Treble is usually on 7-10
Mid 0-4
bass 4-5
reverb 3-5
EQ depends on which guitar or what the stage/room sounds like.
