I'm very much looking forward to playing through one of Brad's Revelation Preamps tomorrow - hooked up w/ a Mosvalve power amp.

Anyone willing to share their favorite settings?

I'll probably try it out first with an older P/P and rhwn maybe a newer Zum.

Many thanks,

Matt

vari-z-10:00, treble-4.5, mid-4, color-6.5, bass-8, bright/dark switch-dark. This should get you started.

HI Matt.

There are many different settings used which vary by players equipment and personal likes.

I have stayed pretty well within Brads suggested parameters.

vari z at 1 oclock,

3 way bright / dark switch in middle position,

Gain at 7
treble 3.5 to 4
mids at 4 to 5
color at 6.5
bass at 4.5

master at 3
----------------------------------------------------
another favorite setting is to reverse the color and bass settings while keeping everything else the same as above.

vari z at 1 oclock,

3 way bright / dark switch in middle position,

Gain at 7
treble 3.5 to 4
mids at 4 to 5
color at 4.5
bass at 6
master at 3
------------------------------------------------

When I play out, I normaly use a 1969 Emmons D.N. P.P, and pot pedal with Dunlop pot.

My playing out amp is always a Revelation with a TC M300 and Mosvalve 500. I use 2 - 15" cabinets with 1501-4 Peavey BW's. I run the presence controls on the Mosvalve at 7.

----------------------------------------------------
Here are a couple of pictures of how I set up my 2 identical racks. You can see which one has been staying home. I would not use these SKB racks for hard road use but for weekend playing, they hold up fine. I placed rubber blocks on the bottom to allow for air circulation when the bottom cover is removed.














Experiment and find "your sound" as its hard to get a poor one with your setup.

Hope this helps
