Need help with settings

[AngusSGplayer79]

This is my first tube amp my favorite band is ACDC, Zeppelin, Allman bros., Chuck Berry, Black Crowes, and all other types of bluesey classic Rock, I can't get the sound anywhere near to what I like, I'm between beginner and advanced but really just starting to train my ear do anyway I play an SG Prophecy with the fishman pickups, could anyone help me get the settings close to an old classic acdc type sound. Thank you

Hi,
I'm interested to this, thank you!
In my case, I've a 1923 head, 85th anniversary, and one 1960a cabinet

Hey, I guess this is your thread now!

For the kind of tones OP was going for, with a 1923 or JCM2000 DSL, you’d do best to stick to the crunch mode on the green channel. Most of those bands used non-master-volume amps that get a lot of their crunch from overdriving the power amp. If you can get an attenuator, you might be able to get more authentic tones by turning up the master and then turning up the gain control until you get the crunch you want. You use the attenuator to set your desired volume.

As far as EQ goes, you have to play around with it and adjust to taste. Most guys start with all of the EQ dials at noon, and go from there. I like to start with all the dials at max, and cut frequencies to taste.

Good luck!

It has been reported that this is the way Jimi dialed in his sound!
You're In Good Company!
