I have been asked by a local Praise and Worship band to join them in a couple of weeks.
Since this is my first gig I have no idea what adjustments I will need to make to my delay and reverb to go with the room we will be playing in, and here will not be a lot of time to make adjustments. It is an old church sanctuary that is fan shaped and the calling is 2-3 stories high.
I use a TRANS-TUBE FEX into a Nashville 400

Thank you for your help
Roy

Leroy, just use my main program. It will work for almost anywhere. With the steel alone the delay sounds like it's too much but when with the band it is just right.

If you don't have the program, the listing is on my site. http://home.earthlink.net/~jestoner

Leroy I have found that the best adjustment I have made since I bought the Nashville 1000 I put the reverb in the amp on 4 I put the delay in the closet and play clean pure steel guitar nothing phoney nothing fake..


I just got that amplifier for my MSA with GL pickup. What settings are you using on the amplifier?

Right now, I've got the following:

Low 9
Mid -3
Shift 800
High 12
Presence 3
Reverb 0 - 3

Hi Roy,

I agree with B Cole. In a church with a high ceiling there will be plenty of natural reverb... probably too much.

I'd use minimal amp reverb and no delay.

Have a great time!

The amp settings y'all give won't do him any good. He is using a Transtube Fex, for the preamp/effects not the amp's EQ and reverb. When you use a unit, such as the Transtube Fex, you run it directly to the power amp in on the back of the amp (if you use the Transtube Fex as just an effect unit and run it through the amp eq you have wasted your money and could have bought a less expensive unit to do that).
