The ADxxVT settings thread!

[Guitar-Chris]

I have a clean Bassmann (4*10) on channel one, a slightly distorted Uk70s on the 2 channel. The manual mode ist most times set on the Uk80s with a little bit delay. So in combination with the Bluebreaker pedal i can switch between 6 different settings. Often i play chords on the bassmann, solo then with the booster on (cuts through very well). When playng crunchy rhythm i play the Uk 70s and then change on Uk80s for the solo.

Got it! Here's what the issue was/is with the AD100VT. With the 212 configuration, the bottom end (bass) is pretty powerful with the master above 12:00. If I cranked the mids on the amp while running the master at 3:00, lead tones would be heavy on the midrange due to the tube distortion and produce some muddy bass. What I did tonight was set the tone on the amp with the master below or at 12:00 and that added some top end . Also, adding some compression to the lead tones also evened out the bass and the treble when using the neck pup and bridge pup respectively. I was able to dial in a sweet Boutique OD lead tone that had some top end shimmer, smooth mids, and a tighter bass. Didn't have to tweak the guitar tone knob as much on the bridge settings.

New here! I have a 30 that I am really enjoying.

Try this,

boutique clean

Gain - Full
Treble 12 o'clock
mid - 12 o'clock
bass - 9 o'clock
All three volumes - full

maybe a little reverb.

This setting has a lot of nice top end and simply roars, imo. not much dirt though, but it works for me.

IMO, the Boutique Clean model is tough to beat for what you're describing. Keep the Gain at 12 noon or less and adjust other settings to taste.

I reread this topic and took notes, went home...tried up until this one and stopped after I got here....saweeeeeet!

But she was hummin! But with all the dials burried you kinda gotta expect it....turned the gain back to bout 2 and the hum got mild.

Don't stop--keep experimenting. No one setting is good for everything, obviously. I've found good, useful set-ups with every model up through the UK'80's (not being a metalhead, I don't go beyond that amp model too often!). The Boutique CL is a great amp model, as you've found; AAMOF, I was just playing my son's Squier Tele through that one tonight. Sweet tones, both clean and with an OD pedal! The AC30TB model will produce some fantastic tones, too. Keep spinnin' them chickenheads!

Are you kidding? I couldnt stop if I tried...Im just looking for good starting points...and yall have had this amp long than me, so I greatly appreciate the helpful advice.

[ShortBuSX]

DVM, I really like the Black 2x12 setting...but that SRV is awesome! Thanks!

[Big K]

Keep spinnin' them chickenheads!

DVM is the AD Voxmaster.... thanks for the tips & direction...

[ShortBuSX]

DVM is the AD Voxmaster....

INDEED! Very helpful too!

Don't forget with the vox foot switch you can choose 1, 2 or manual and that will give you 3 settings.
Good Luck

FWIW here's where the Xaviere and I are mostly living on the AD50VT these days:

Black 2X12
Gain dimed
Volume dimed
Treble 3:00
Mid dimed
Bass 10:00

I can get a nice range of distortions with my guitar's volume knob, just like the manual says. With the P90s the vibe is generally dirty-but-chimey, good for the sort of low-fi roots punk I'm into these days. This setting also sounds good with a bit of compression when the whim strikes.

I also use this for a clean setting:

Tweed 4x10
Gain 10:00
Volume 3:00
Treble 2:00
Mid 3:00
Bass 12:00
