How can you go wrong?

Just to clarify the point of this video…..
This was a guitar package returned to a department store because it “defective”. I picked it up for very little money and found it to be a surprisingly good guitar. I made this video to show young players that a high end instrument, although superior in quality, won’t necessarily make you a better player.

I know I should get a bass amp, but all I have is a Peavey guitar amp to work with. I was just wondering how I should EQ everything like the lows, mids, and highs. I also have a decent size effects pedalboard with fuzz, delay, tremelo, and phase. I kind of want a crushing bass sound and don’t want it to sound scooped.
I don’t know what your definition of "crushing bass sound" is, but if it involves a lot of low end you’re not going to get it from a guitar amp. The speakers are likely too small (if they’re anything less than a 10"), and the cabinet design is probably wrong (especially if it’s an open back cabinet).
Since you didn’t specify what brand and model of bass you have, and what model of amp it’s not really possible to give you any specific settings.
If you don’t want your instrument to sound "scooped", then leave the mids up.
The best thing you can probably do is to start with all of the tone controls at 12:00 (halfway up). Start out at a reasonable volume, and start adjusting the controls until you get something you like.
If the speaker(s) start to sound like they are rubbing or "farting", then you’re trying to push too much bass through them. Back off, or you’ll likely damage them.
Get your basic sound dialed in before you start adding any effects. The problem with most guitar effect pedals is that they chop the low end of the signal off. That works well for a guitar…not so much for a bass.
That all said, Lemmy of Motorhead pretty much plays through what started out to be a guitar amp. There’s not a lot of low end in his sound, but I consider it pretty "crushing". Then again, he’s playing through eight 15" and eight 12" speakers spread over 4 cabinets.
Good luck.

The TH100 is an affordable, versatile amp from Orange. It is the highest gain and cleanest amp we’ve ever made! Two channels: Dirty and Clean. Switchable between 100, 70, 50, and 35 Watts. This amp combines the Dirty channel of the Thunder series with an ultra-Clean channel. The result is a range of tones. It might be our most versatile amp ever!
Available in Fall of 2011!

I have been playing guitar for 8 years, (I’m 14 years old) and my favorite band is chevelle, which mailny uses the mark iv head. Unfortunately, I cant afford that amp, nor do they even make them anymore. I was wondering what amp/effects can I use to get a Mark IV sound/chevelle sound?
You might want to look at Line 6 modeling amps as an affordable alternative to the Mesa. Is it the exact same? No. It doesn’t cost a couple of thousand dollars either.
Mesa Boogie amps have their roots in small fender amps. Randall Smith, who founded Mesa, got his start by hot-rodding small Fender amplifiers. One of his first big customers was Carlos Santana. Randall boosted the power on one of Carlos’ 22 watt Fenders to 100 watts, added a lot of gain to the preamp, and retuned the tone controls. When Carlos heard it for the first time, he said something along the lines of "that little SOB really boogies". From then on, the name stuck
Keep this in mind…even if you had an exact duplicate of someone’s guitar rig, you will not sound exactly like them. So much of the sound of a guitar comes from the fingers. Find a tone you like, and play on!
Good luck.

I just got a guitar and amp as an early Christmas gift. I have a Peavey amp, the settings are Amp, Effects, Pre Gain, Low, Mid, High, Post Gain, and Master Volume. I also have an Epiphone Wildkat if that makes any difference.
Well, it would help to know specifically which model Peavey you have. However, given basic control outline you’ve described, I would set the Amp model settings to one of the "clean" models, preferably a Vox or Fender Deluxe model if possible (not sure how they are labeled or described on your amp). Then set the pre-gain low, around 9 o’clock or lower– this most likely determined how much initial signal breakup you will have. Set the Low to 12 or 1 o’clock, mids to 11 o’clock, and high to 2 or 3 o’clock. Not sure what the effects pre-sets are, but you need a very quick slap-echo or delay effect, about 1.5-2.5 milliseconds, no more than 3 milliseconds tops. Now I’m not quite sure how the post gain figures in with the master volume on this amp, but you might try setting the post-gain to around 10 o’clock or less, depending on the amount of distortion it gives you. Then use the Master volume to control the overall level. You may have to set the post-gain slightly higher, it will require experimentation. Also, Since you are using an Epi Wildkat, be sure that your volume and tone controls are fully open (set on 10). The reason for this is that The Wildkat does not have a treble-bleed circuit on the master volume knob, and the stock Epi metal-covered P90’s are a little darker in tone compared to plastic-cover P90’s. Last, try using the middle switch position on the guitar (both pickups). It will give you some mellow bottom with a touch of sparkle from the bridge pickup.
Overall, your goal is a clean, bright sound but still with a good bit of bottom. Classic Rockabilly sound almost always involves a slap-echo or slight delay effect. It’s OK to have the clean sound just "on the verge" of break up, but you want to stay away from totally distorted sounds… unless you’re playing psychobilly instead of rockabilly.
