Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question…
Q: I would like to ask you how to set up amplifiers for different purposes. I use a Fender Stratocaster and an Epiphone hollow body electric guitar I use a Fender Deluxe 50 Watts all tube amp. I also have a Line 6 POD which I use for effects. Can you explain to me how to approach setting my amp bass, treble, middle, presence, master levels.
1). In order to get a clean bright jazzy sound like George
Benson, or Wes Montgomery with my Epiphone?
2). To get a clean country style rhythm sound with my
Stratocaster?
3). To get a distorted or overdrive sound for a guitar solo
similar to; for example Foreigner, or David Gilmore?
4). Also would be interested in other sounds such as metal.
- Thanks,
David, Queens NY.
A: Pursuing sounds between; amps, guitars and effects units can be a long and often frustrating journey. And, just when you think you’ve got that perfect sound at home… You’ll get to the gig and your amp could mysteriously sound terrible. In this video I will discuss various common settings for; Country, Jazz, Rock and Metal.

First test made with an Orange Tiny Terror 15W all tube amp driving an Orange cabined loaded with a Celestion V30. The guitar used is a Charvel mod 6 with Floyd Rose and a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck humbucker. I used an 8ch preamplifier: ELBERG MP8. The test is done with: GrooveTubes a1, Shure SM57, Sennheiser e906 and MD421. No compression or EQ has been used whatsoever. AD converters from a MOTU 8pre.
Ps. The 57, the e906 and one of the a1 are at the same distance from the center of the cone (something around middle way between center and edge). The other a1 is at the center and the MD421 is on the edge of the speaker.
These positions are ones I like best from each mic.

Peavey Valveking 100 Head and Valveking Slanted Cab
Playing with a Fender Texas Fat Strat which is an awesome guitar that they don’t make anymore 
I use no effects whatsoever it is straight from the guitar into the amp. I do however use the Peavey Remote Switch (Foot Switch) to switch between the clean and lead channels and to toggle the boost volume and/or gain (boost), all of those features are found on the amp though.
This video is basically meant to give people a good idea of the ValveKing Amplifier and Cab.
I have done a lot of research to find what would be the best half-stack I could buy for the money. My conclusion was that the Peavey Valveking 100 was the best fit for me.
This amp is VERY loud, and Very Versatile.
I have it on less then 1 volume in this video and it was still so loud earplugs would probably be a good idea.
Keep in mind that a tube amps distortion does not generally sound good until pushed to a very high volume. I still feel this amp sounds good on low volumes and can be used as a practice amp. But I know it would sound even more amazing at high volumes!
I also considered buying a Bugera 6262, and a B-52 AT which I have heard great things about both, but I also heard those amps are VERY UNRELIABLE. They are built with cheap parts apparently and can break down at any moment.
Peavey Amps have the reputation of being extremely durable, they pretty much last forever. I still have a used Peavey Bandit 75 which was made in the 1980’s and it still works fine.
Overall, I am very happy with this amp, and I hope this video helps people make a choice when considering buying a new amp. Peavey products are an incredible value for the money in my opinion.

http://www.premierguitar.com PG’s Acoustic Editor Gayla Drake Paul walks us through her latest review of the Vox AGA70 Acoustic guitar amplifier.
The AGA70 is ideal for the acoustic performer because it’s designed to perfectly project the subtle resonances and sweet, mellow tones of the acoustic guitar. Each of the two channels (Normal and Tube Pre) is equipped with a standard guitar input, as well as a microphone input with selectable phantom power. An electro-acoustic guitar or mic can be connected to each channel, making this the perfect amp for a singer-instrumentalist. An additional Lo-Z / Hi-Z switch on each input accommodates a variety of signal levels.
The Tube Pre channel preamp features a 12AU7 (ECC82) dual-triode vacuum tube.
In addition to Bass, Middle, and Treble tone controls, each channel provides an effective COLOR control. Working in harmony with the traditional EQ, the COLOR knob allows you to quickly shift the tonal response to match your performance. This additional control accommodates a broad variety of sounds ranging from thick and robust to sparkling and clean.
Also, it features onboard Reverb (both channels) and an on/off switch for a Chorus effect.
