The ADxxVT settings thread!

[TS808]

Now that I'm getting more familiar with the Valvetronix, it's getting easier to tweak a good tone.

Initially, I had two dirty settings saved, and was going to use the manual mode as the 3rd channel for clean. Using the Boutique OD model, I saved one to channel 1 for the neck pup of my strat, and channel 2 for the bridge pup. Interestingly, the difference was so subtle I stuck with just one dirt setting.

This really made the strings ring out pretty well without getting muddy or overly distorted...

Gain: 10:00
Bass: 9:00-10:00
Mid: 1:00
Treble: 2:00
Reverb: 9:00
NR: Off

With the AD100VT, I notice alot of bottom end and midrange on the amp so I dropped the bass on the amp and can always roll of the treble on my guitar tone knob.

Wow! I'm really loving this amp lately after going through some initial frustrations. I also added an EQ in the effects loop which makes quite a difference, but I'm getting some excellent strat tones on the Uk 70's, UK 80's, and Boutique OD models for soloing, and great cleans on the Blackfae 212.

This amp takes a little bit of patience learning its nuances, but once you do, the tones are pretty damn good. At this point, after putting an EQ in the effects loop, I see no reason for a speaker change at all. I think part of it might be that the speakers are now really broken in, and it's just a matter of finding the "sweet spot" on the EQ and gain for this amp.
