Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!

What's reverb? ... and why don't I have it...
Depends on what Amp I'm using. Generally I have the Preamp set at about 5 or 6.
The groovetubes in that Amp are a waste, you should have bought a decent Amplifier to begin with, man.Originally posted by Eyes

Set the volume to 11, then play awayNone of this frollicky bollocks
Unless I use my FX pedal, in which case I find a patch (I haven't full tried them all out lol) that's not too fake - sounding and is bassy, and give that a whack.

So are all the knobs on your amp turned to full?
It actually doesn't sound to bad on a bass. Unless it's the knop which makes things vibrate.

I don't use the EQs, only the volume knobs. Occasionally I put a bass-boost on there, but that doesn't make a great difference.

You will not regret it !
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !

Marshall JTM 45
Vol. I 6 Treb. 7 Mid. 6 Bass 9 Presence 5
Pushing the input with a DOD 250 overdrive peddle with the gain maxed out.
The speaker cab is a Marshall B cab with 4 greenbacks.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
Oh yeah, my amps an Ashdown Electric Blue 15-180... Sounds larvelly...
That's the same bass amp that Tydhurst uses except his isn't a combo.
And Eyes get a marshall they'll never let you down and for the price they go for you will be stupid if you choose anything else.
Here's my Amp.
Is this Tydhurst gear???

Eyes, reverb is something you get with a Marshall head.
Reverberation. Nice effect.
JCM 800 is 10 times better than a 5150. Vintage Marshall Amps are FANTASTIC!!!!!Originally posted by Panamark

Personally, I really dig the 50 watt JMP2 and JMP3 heads from the early 70's.

Your right about what you say about vintage Marshall's though. I've got an old Plexi (a 68 or a 69), cranked up full with everything on 10 you've got that Classic Van Halen sound.
If you want more gain from an old Marshall just do the Yngwie thing and throw a DOD 250 overdrive infront of it.
I managed to coax some good tones out of a 5150 but I had to turn the pre gain down and push the power amp. The preamp on a 5150 sounds like shit to me. I can get a better tone using a Fender Twin and distortion peddles. Really.

Im jealous!!!
jcm800 = good answer panamark! thats why i face sydney 5 times a day and pray ,hoping some of that guitar zen will rub off on me !!!
Early 80's JCM 800 (100 watt lead 2) and a 4x12 equipped with 25 watt celestions.
Bass 10
Mid 6
Treb 8
Presence 6
Gain 7
Vol 4
Reverb 0
Just plug in a Les Paul Standard with an EMG 81 through an Ibanez analog delay, Boss DS-1 and GE-7 for two different lead tones, and a Crybaby bass wah that makes some unholy sounds when sweeping through the frequency range that is usually reserved for the bass.
That's what my guitar sound is made of
It's a shame that families should be torn apart by something as simple as....wild dogs
I own a 5150 II and i love the thing.

Lick My Love Pump is a piano song. Of course if Nigel ran his keyboard through an MXR flanger into a stack of Marshalls on 11 EVH style, Lick My Love Pump could turn into Deep Throat My Love Pump and Gag on the Cum.
Bump, since some of us might have new amps/settings...
On the Laney...
Resonance switch ON
Presence 5-10, depending on my overall volume.
Bass, Mid 6-7
Treble 7-8
Gain 10
Drive 5 (basically, this is like an extra preamp stage...)
Master volume, 2-11. (master goes up, treble/presence go down)
On the Trademark 60...
Channel 1, SRV settings
Channel 2, VH settings (what else?)
modified here..
eqiv settings:
presence 8-9
treb 10
mid 6-7
bass 10
gain 8-9
vol 10
shelving sw. 3
master vol 2 - 3 w/attenuator, rehearse 5, play 7
with Drive at about 1-2 o'clock...
On the Gallien-Krueger microlead, my tone settings are:
bass 10
low mid 7
hi mid 6-7
treble 8-9
Like all solid-state amps, because they amplify and clip at the lower wave first, the treble is usually piercing so I trim the treble down then up the louder I get.
the GK250ML has a cheap chorus I like with stereo 50w+50watt outputs to separate 16ohm cabinets.
My Roland Jazz Chorus head replaced it but got stolen, so what I was playing 20 years ago and put in the closet as spare became my main and only rig.
Instead of replacing the JC120 with another, I'll probably get two Marshall Mode 4 solid state heads to drive 4 cabs stereo chorus.
We'll see what my setting will be with those. Nothing beats solid state for clean channel, or clean-stereo chorusing.. separate channel amplification of a true (not emulated) stereo chorus effect was unbelievable at 200 watts, at 700 watts it's going to roar like an ocean.
My Peavey Classic 50 (current favorite) goes to 12!:tongue0011:
