Can someone share their settings. On its own I haven't got it dialed in yet. I did run it in stereo with my Sessions 400 with amazing results. Been told it may just need to be broken in.

Hi Jerry, I don't have a Session 115 but every Peavey I ever owned pretty much worked by starting with all controls straight up and depending on guitar,pickup etc. then set as follows.

Set all controls straight up to start with then:

1. Bass to 1 or 2 o'clock
2. Low mids 10 or 11 o'clock
3. Hi mids 1 o'clock
4. Presence 1 o'clock
5. Highs 2 o'clock

Only make small setting changes so as to not have too much bass or treble and mids cut or boosted to keep the tone from being too hollow sounding.

the guy to ask this question is Bill Ferguson. I think he plays through one since it's beginning. His tone is very good, plus he sells stuff that we need. (or don't need) Very Happy
Send him a PM, he will answer right away.

Here are my settings with the amp on the floor and a 1-1/2" block under the front to slightly tilt it back.

I also use a very small amount of the Plate Reverb and a VERY small amount of delay.

I use these settings with either my Carter w/ XR16 or my Emmons LeGrande w/ Emmons 108 pickups.
And with my OMNI volume pedal.




If I can help with anything else, please let me know.
