KukooBam Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I just got a new Gallien-Krueger 700RB-II to go with my beautiful Stingray. The sound I'm getting is really awesome. I'm really happy with it but what are the people thinking with those preset sound suggestions in the manual???!!!! They really dont work that well. Has anybody got an idea about settings for the amp that they find works for them? I'd really welcome any input.

jmrunning3 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 One of my favorite players, Jim Sheppard of Nevermore, plays MM and GK also. I very much love the tone and sound he gets. I haven't a clue what his settings are, however. Check their website at www.nevermore.tv, listen to their songs and see if you hear what you are looking for as a reference. Good luck and welcome to the forums! -- Joe -- "If you think you're too old, then you are." --Lemmy Kilmister "I have not seen a man who is not god already." --Austin Osman Spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KukooBam Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks for the heads up and the help. I'll check it out, it's not like I'm unhappy with the sound, I'm just exploring new sounds. And thanks for the help.

rotosound45 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I used a StingRay through a 400RB and an Ampeg SVT 4x10 cab for awhile. I found that boosting the Low-Mids and Hi-Mids a little, and cutting the Bass and the Treble set flat sounded quite nice for most any style of music. Also, I activated the Mid-Contour switch, and left the Low and Hi Boost switches out. From there, any other tonal adjustments were made from the StingRay's onboard tone controls.

Tom Capasso Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I recommend taking plenty of time trying lots of different settings to find what works for you.

KukooBam Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks guys, I've been playing at a fest in South Africa this whole week, got a couple of nice ideas. I also found turning the bass down and keep the treble flat helps, especially playing with the contour and presence helps. And it also helps to0 spend time with the head. Thanks for the advice "I'm a real boy!" - Pinnochio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
