Post by Jerry Horner »

I've toyed around with my 500 long enought. What settings do some of you guys use on your 500?

Wow, did Al Petty really use a reverb setting of "10"?

Jerry, go to search on electronics. Enter the name Kenneth Kotsay. Scroll down to May 26, 02. These settings work for me, you might want to give them a try. Personally, I have never found the 500 very forgiving concerning settings. It has to be just right to work for me, then it has THE SOUND!!!!!

These are my settings. Pre-Gain 3,Low +9,Paramid +3,Shift 700,High +2,Presence -3, Post-Gain 5, Rev.4. I use the same pickups that Franklin uses on his guitars along with a Digitech Delay. Hope this helps.
