Title: Marshall settings. Post by: Clarepants on March 02, 2006, 10:43:35 PM I just bought a Marshall MD50DFX, my first marshall.
What're some popular settings on the overdrive? On the manual that comes with the marshall they provided several, ie lead, metal and classic crunch; i only particularly enjoyed the classic crunch because I found the lead had too much gain (3/4). PS - Or maybe some settings by Slash or Kirk Hammett or Zakk Wylde. Thanks. By the way, I'm playing from a Gibson Classic LP. Title: Re: Marshall settings.

I read a mag a while back that had Slash's settings, I'll see if I can dig it up again for you. Title: Re: Marshall settings.

Search for a list of tone settings specific to your amp on the net... Title: Re: Marshall settings. Post by: AXL 20 on March 03, 2006, 07:04:05 AM Slash gain- 6.5 Bass/low- 7 Mid- 4.5 Treble/high- 7 Presence- 7
then there as like lead output and input but my valveking doesnt have that. it's all on Snakepit.org Title: Re: Marshall settings. Post by: Clarepants on March 03, 2006, 07:46:08 AM Thanks for the quick replies : ok:
Title: Re: Marshall settings. Post by: darkmonth on March 06, 2006, 05:19:06 AM Not to be a dick, but you wont get Slash's sound by following his settings from his JCM amp .... I have a JCM 900 head (I sold the JCM 2000 TSL) and I can get a VERY cool Slash sound, but not by following his exact spec... because my amp is slightly different ... tho not that different.
Anyways... I suggest, just run everything on 5, and then start playing with the bass, mid, treble and see what comes of it .... remember... on a solid transistor amp, you will have to use more gain than on a valve amp, to get the distorted sound Slash has.... Title: Re: Marshall settings. Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 06, 2006, 01:37:55 PM You've got yourself a valvestate amp. I had to use one for recording once and I found that scooping the mids helped my tone some. : ok:

Bass:6 Mid:5 Treble:8 Contour:6 Gain:6 At the end of the day its down to what you hear as best and what you really want. I will say now you wont get anything close to the tones of Slash and Zakk Wylde etc. Purely because they run valve amps loud which is a world apart to a transistor amp(such as yours) |
