Drew,,
haven't had any dealings with a Nashville, how much will those settings vary to a Sessions 400??

Hey Drew don't forget to mention whether the PRE-bright function is on or off.

Here's what I'm using right now:

(factory mod)

PRE: 3-5, bright on
POST: 7
LOW: +3
MID: -15 (full cut)
SHIFT: 800K
HIGH: 0
PRESENCE: 0
REVERB: 5

Neat thread. I'm interested to see more folks' settings. -GV<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Greg Vincent on 23 March 2005 at 12:06 PM.]</p></FONT>

With my Mullen, I always set the shift at around 800. After I installed the LeMay kit, it seemed like 500 or 600 was a better shift point for that guitar.

When I absolutely have to plug into a Nashville 400..ha..
Post 9
Pre> what ever the gig calls for.

Low +9
Mid -9
Shift 800
Hight +5
Pres +5
Reverb in the 4 to 6 area; depending on the reaction of that particular Peavey amp.
These are pretty much the same for the Session 400 and LTD 400.

Amp: Stock.
Bright Switch: On.
Pre Gain and Post Gain: Equal.
Bass: Wide open.
Mid: Off to just barely on, depending on room.
Shift: 3:00.
Treble: 10:00 -- 11:00, depending on room.
Presence: Wide open.

When I record at home I use slightly less treble since the mic I like tends to be fairly bright.

Best,

Jim

I use a BMI S-12 through mine with the following settings:

Pre gain.....4-5
Post Gain....6-7
Low..........10
Mid..........completely off!
high.........8
presence.....8
reverb.......0

I have the LeMay mod and in place of the reverb I use an old Ibanez 2 space analog delay unit coupled with a BBE Sonic Maximizer. Both effects patch through the back of the amp......JH in Va.

Does anyone run their volume pedal in/out of the pre eq patch?

Roger, Always!

I use an old ShoBud pedal with a pot and you get very little tone loss through the full length of the pedal. Directly into the amp, the tone loss is major at lower levels of the pedal.

I used to use the pre-eq patch for my Goodrich volume pedal all the time but when I got my Hilton they recommend that you don't do it with theirs....JH

To better match a room's acoustics, I reset my amp just about each time I play. Usually it looks like this:

Pre: 3
Post: 7

Low: 9
Mid: 0 to -3
Shift: Top dead center
High: -3 to 3
Presence: -3 to 3
Reverb: 6-7 without delay, around 4 with the delay
