Fender Blues Deluxe Settings
<<<
Hi,
as i just bought a Fender Blues De Luxe Amp, which is the only "vintage"
amp I could afford, I like to now which settings of the amp will come
the closest to a Bassmann 50's combo?
>>>>
Oh boy, did you ever open a can of worms with this question.
First off, it doesn't sound like a 59 Bassman. That's 'cause it isn't
one.
But, it's similar to a 59 Bassman circuit, and you can get some pretty
cool tone out of it.
My favorite settings:
Guitar input = jack 1 (not 2)
Drive = off
Bright = on
Volume = 4-5
Bass = 5-6 (my hollow ES-135 feedsback with much more)
Treble = 9
Presence = 9
Mid = somewhere in the middle to taste
Reverb = 4
I like to tilt it back a little on stage too.
Ooh, plug a TubeScreamer into it and it will absolutely wail. Most of the
distortion boxes I've tried (even the 'metal' ones) sound really sweet
through a Blues Deluxe.
