Fender Amp Settings

[magicguitar]

Some time ago, someone posted settings for Fender that was sort of a math formula. I wrote it down at the time, but I have no idea where that piece of paper is and I've done a few searches here, but not knowing the original title of the post I didn't get post I was looking for. It was something like 8-8-7-10... basically just settings for bass-treble-mid- etc. Anyone know what I'm attempting to describe?

'Magic Six' most likley.

It's called the Magic 6. Volume on 6, Treble on 6, Mids on 3 and Bass on 2 (6, 6 and 3x2=6). Master Volume to taste.

What kind of amp? On a Blackface those are the settings for Icepick.

Same for Fender SS, and tube amps? Interesting!

Most important setting

Write this one down

So you remember it








Is it switched on?

I just turn the treble all the way down and rely on my purple chaps and command of the stage to melt the 1st couple rows.

Seriously, I usually put the bass and treble on 5 and go down rather than up if need be. Show me the error of my ways.

If you set things at noon and subtract, your ears don't suffer fatigue nearly as much and it's easier to find a tone you like. Plus, Fender tone controls add volume as you go up, which is fine if you are after loud and clean, but if you want early break up roll all the tone controls back and you can push the volume knob higher without actually going up in decibels.

A short pencil is better than a long memory

My silverface Twin with EVs-Vibrato Channel, Master 10 (castrates the tone if you actually use it), Volume 7, Treble 8, Mids 9, Bass 3, Reverb 3.

There's one setting for all kinds of music and all guitars on all Fender amps in all kinds of venues and rooms?

I would modify the magic 666 forumula to 866 on a Deluxe, 8666 on a Twin and 766 on a Princeton. Guitar volume rolled up to about 4. This gives you plenty of headroom (except on the Princeton). This for blues and country.

I must be one of the very few pickers, who sets the treble between 4 or 5 and the Bass between 7 and 8...the mid or presence, is somewhere at 6 or 7 on my setups as well.

Those settings are for someone who can still hear. Mine are for someone who has burned out that portion of their frequency range.

10-10-10 is what Jim Campilongo uses om a BF Princeton Reverb

[zoppotrump]

my SFTR ´72 settings are
- Volume on 3-4 depending on the stage/room size
- Treble on 7
- Mids on 8
- Bass on 5
- Master on 10

in smaller rooms i also tend to put the Treble on 6 and the Amp is always miced
