Anybody have any settings they have determined are favorites? I am slowly working my way through the pre sets and I am a little overwhelmed by how much is there. This is an awesome piece of equipment. Smile

This sounds good with Zum hybrid, single coil, Telonics pro pedal.

I use the number 40 on the Lexicon, and 50 some what. Try 17 also.

Note this is the prototype test amp The wet/dry knot is the one out of line. Yes the master gain is wide open. Vol is controlled with the input gain.

I usually set the amp on the floor.

This is a production model set up for a GFI with GFI 3 pickups. Telonics pedal.

Let me know if these were helpful.

Dave Beady suggested I try running the amp with the master gain full on and reduced preamp gain, like the old amps from the sixties. i like the sound. Its different than the normsl settings.

You will want to try it both ways when you get your amp. Especially, with your Zum hybrid. Don't forget to adjust the Lexicon in and output gains to match changes in stage gain on the Telonics.
