Andy,
I play through a Custom Shop reissue with 85 watts. I like: no bright switch, treble at about 3, mid at 0-2, bass between 5 and 7. I use my Profex for reverb. This seems to work well (for me) with Emmons single coils. |

Andy - Bright-off Treble-3 Mid-3 Bass-5 Rev-3
The speakers and your guitar have a lot to do with the settings you use. I have a 15" JBL in my 65 Twin Re-issue and I can't go above 3 on the treble, or I get that "icepick in the ear" high end harshness. There seems to be a quantum leap in treble somewhere between 3 and 4, so be careful. Conversely, for my Telecaster, I want the treble on 5, so it took me a while to overcome that habit when I started playing steel.
At low volume you might want to use the bright switch, or it could seem a little muddy. At stage volumes (4 and up), the amp really opens up and that's where the high end starts to get that famous Fender sparkle. |

With 2x12, Bass 8, mid 4-5, treble 2-3, no bright.
With 15", Bass 3-4, mid 8, treble 3-4, no bright.
Reverb 2-3 on fast numbers, 5-6 on slow ballads. |
