I like the Fender Twin with the Fuzz, baby! 8) (although I'm pretty sure that Jimi actually used Marshall and/or Vox etc. amps)

Fiddle around with a Plexi or Brit with a little Reverb for sparkle. It sounds like some of their tunes might use some delay too...

I copyed this :

Here's one everyone else seems to like a lot when I use it. Great for Stray Cats, Johnny Cash, etc.... Surf too, I'm thinking.

Brit Green
Stompboxes -bypass
Effects - Slap Echo on
Pre - 6 dim, 7 lit, nearly all the way up.
Low - 5 lit, 6 dim
mid - 4 lit, straight up
high - 3 lit, 4 dim
Post - 5 lit, 6 dim
delay off,
Reverb 4 lit, straight up


Try that on your Gretsch or Tele. Control the amount of "bite" with your tone knob on your guitar. Never used mine before till I got a Vypyr, but it is key to getting some of these models to sound right and not mid heavy I have found, especially red amps. I use This setting with everything from Fenders to Les Pauls, but P-90's sound killer.

These are my settings, it's the closet i could get for a thinner more trebley 80s metal tone & a Dokken-esque rythm tone (Back For The Attack era) & overall it sounds okay for early thrash too. But like i said in another thread, not enough or as much crunch as i'd like on the palm mutes & if i give it more pre gain it'll sound like sh!t. Took me a month of tweeking & fiddling to get this setting & i'm still not really totally happy with it, but then i'm extremely fussy.
(NOTE: 0nly 7 LEDs per knob, not 10, i'm counting the first LED on each knob as 0 not 1 so each setting is out of 6 (eg. 2/6). When 2 LEDs are lit up at the same time on any knob i count that as a half because it's obviously in between)

STOMPBOX: TubeScrm
AMP:Rec

STOMPBOX SETTINGS
---------------------
PRE GAIN/PARAMETER 1: 0.5/6
LOW/PARAMETER 2: 6/6
MID: not relevant since it controls the feedback of the delay & i have delay turned all the way down
HIGH/DELAY: 0/6
POST GAIN/REVERB: 1.5/6


AMP SETTINGS
---------------
(Amp is in green mode)
PRE GAIN: 1/6
LOW: 1/6
MID: 1.5/6
HIGH: 5/6
POST GAIN: mine is set to 1.5/6, but as far as i can tell it seems do nothing but change the volume.

I agree completely. I was/am having issues with some wicked howling feedback, and I've just been thinking it's soley the amp's fault, until I realized that -HEY!- I DO have a DiMarzio "Super Distortion" in my bridge, which is specifically made to overdrive "regular" amps. So I've had to actually roll my guitar's volume back from the usual "10" setting to clean things up.....which also made me realize that my volume pot is in desperate need of replacement :?

I've just never really had to fiddle much with my guitar's knobs, as all I play-on are solid state amps. I guess the "TransTube"-technology is legit.

However, I've been seeing a lot of people complaining about the feedback-situation too though, so I'm wondering if some of it isn't the amp....

For my rhythm playing I always back the volume knob on the guitar down to the 6-7 area and crank it to ten for my solos. I find that my tone is way more punchy when backing the volume down and has more presence to it. I use Seymour Duncan JB's in all of my guitars.

Even though I generally play "metal'ish-type-stuff", I am REEEEEALLY digging on the Peavey Classic 50 Lead amp model! It's more-or-less based on one of the factory presets that was in my Sanpera II, but I tinkered with a couple of things. Settings are as follows:

Generally "Red" (but it also sounds damn nice on the "Green" setting)

Stompboxes: Tubescreamer or the "Squeeze"-compressor, depending what you're trying for.

Rack effects: Bypassed

Pre-Gain: Balls-to the-wall :wink:

Low: "12 O'Clock"

Mid: About 3/4 or the "7th" LED

High: "6" and/or "7" 'ish LED

Post-Gain: about "7"

Reverb: Balls-to the-wall

Delay: "Feedback" @ about "3" and the level maxed.

Throw a lil' Wah (if you've got a Sanpera or whatever, like I do) on this setting and you can get some serious "chuck-a-chuck-a-chuck"-type sounds, some nice leads, and even some good rhythms. It's lovely!

I've played a "real" either Peavey Classic 30 or 50 in a local music store, and found it to be pretty killer, and now with the ability to put a lil' more "dookie" on it, as it were, the sky's the limit.....and it didn't cost me $2,500!

This is a great forum! I've had my V-75 and S-1 since March and I love it. I joined last night (4-3) and have already adjusted my clean settings for some I found here. Thanks people!
Here's what I'm looking for now:

I play Gospel/Contemporary Christian music and I use a Stratocaster with stock single coil pickups and a Les Paul Standard with older Dimarzio Super II pickups. I'm looking for an overdrive tone thats kinda like Brian May used to use. Real smooth and sweet with a lot of sustain. Anybody got any settings?
Peavey:
Vypyr 75
1986 Combo 300
1986 Dyna Bass
200H Mixer amp
Other:
1976 LP Standard
200? Mexican Strat
Yari Custom Jumbo Acoustic
C.F. Martin Electric Bass

I guess you need to use the AC30 red channel (Brit model) to get the Brian May vibe, play with the echo and give it a lot of mid on the eq.

After much research, much of it spent here at the Grille, I just bought my Vypyr 30 this afternoon!! :D

Despite the problems others have had, I just couldn't find another amp at this price that offered what the Vypyr has. IMHO the Line 6 Spider III's really did sound 'thin' and hollow, whereas the Vypyr's tones are just what I was looking for in a modeling amp.

I checked the firmware version and it's 1.55. Also, it appeared to me that the box had been opened before and re-taped, which makes me think (I hope) that Peavey updated the firmware at the factory before they shipped it out. According to the salesman at GC, they just received the new shipment of Vypyrs yesterday, so we'll see. I'm just hoping that I don't experience some of the same problems others have.

I'm hoping someone can post some settings for Led Zeppelin's "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair" from the BBC Sessions, as well as any SRV, like "Pride and Joy", etc. Thanks in advance for any ideas. This is a great forum!!!

Great work on the website geronimo_ds!! EXTREMELY helpful and easy to use! Much appreciated. :D

I'd just like to send out a big "Thank You!" to all who have posted Vypyr setting for the rest of us to use. Especially to: firemansim, Big Al and geronimo_ds who have gone "above and beyond" to make life easier for Vypyr owners. Most appreciated.
