Tone, thanks for the response. I play mine through a Marshall 1960 (4) 12"s. Speakers are standard issue 75's. It's an awesome sound. Kind of a one trick pony, but if that just on the edge of break-up with a lot of harmonics is what you like, this is for you.
I spent a lot of time trying to dial it in. Here are the setting that I'm settled on. Might save you some time.
Presence 5:00
Bass 8:00
Middle 7:00
Treble 6 - 7:00
Output Master 7 - 8:00
Lead Master turn up to taste. In the house, I'm about 2
Rhythm I don't use this switch
Input Gain 5 - 6:00
I play through a LP R8 and a 60's player's Strat with the Custome Shop 69 PU's.
Signal path is:
Boss TU
Cry Baby
Full Drive 2
to the amp
Effects Loop
Hardwire RV - 7 reverb
Boss DD 6
Really dont need the Full Drive 2, but I like the way it throuws it over the edge.
Hope this helps.
I also have the 18 / 36 wat EF86. I set this amp clean and play both amps at the same time in stereo.
