Whew, had a rough time at the gig today. Everything I thought I knew about dialing in the Mod50 went out the door on stage. It took a long while to get it close to dialed in, much longer than I would have hoped.
I ended up having barely enough clean headroom to hang with the band and had to really dial the SL2 module back to keep it at similar volumes. I guess I need some advice from the folks that gig their Mod50's. What sort of setting do you use on stage? Here's what I ended up with:
Tubes: Winged C 6L6GC biased to 30 mV
Cab: Bogner 2x12 with Vintage 30s
T/V:
Gain: noon
Bass: 9 (o'clock)
Middle: 9
Treble: 1
Master: dimed
Bass Boost: 1
Bright: 1
Master Volume: dimed
Effects: off
Density: 9
Presence: 1
SL2/ChA:
Gain: noon
Bass: noon
Middle: 10
Treble: 1
Master: 3
Bass Boost: 1
Bright: 1
With the MV dimed, I had a good deal of hiss on the T/V and SL2/Ch2. It was so much that I didn't use SL2/Ch2 and when I wasn't using the T/V/ChA, I dialed ChB to too off so I could switch to it for quiet. Is that normal? Did I set it wrong or something wrong with the amp or is this just how it is? Thanks.
