I would like to know the settings you use for mid and shift knobs and what kind of guitar your using those settings for. Kind of a Poll question. Thanks.

800Hz and -2 to -3. Used that same setting on every Peavey that I had with the "paramid" controls. A Session 500, Nashville 400, Nashville 1000 and Nashville 112.

That was with a 71 D-10 Emmons PP with stock pickups and later with my D-10 Franklin and Lawrence 710 pickups.

Look about halfway down the page. This was real close with an Emmons LL2 with stock pickups.

+1 for Jack. I usually set mine around that. Maybe closer to -3 and 900hz. I have a 70s msa with a single coil.

Try turning up the mid and shift and maybe straight up on the T&P. Depending on the guitar and pickup, a dark combination of the two could stand a little more of both, a bright combo not so much.

On my PP with 409s and a 1501 DT in a N400 with Fox chips I run the Mid on full and the Shift on about 4:00.

high +3, presence at +9

Look at any of Buddy Emmon's Nashville's
Mid at 10:00 and Shift at 2:00
Setting the lows depends on the room
If you go any way very far away from this it's going to get weird.
I guess in the end it's all about what kind of tone you want.
Listen to my tone on my steel videos then listen to the tone of others saying to use a really different setting.
Some people can't hear tones.

As you can see every one and every guitar and every amp requires something a little different, depends on your concept of what good or bad is.

TURN THOSE KNOBS UP AND OR DOWN, THERE IS NO SINGLE UNIVERSAL SETTING.
