NAD: 1987X - JiveTurkey & La Szum are to blame! 😭

Don't be afraid to use Bassman and Plexi controls at their extremes. While things evolved with the Marshall's, the flattest tone stack settings on a Bassman are B and T all the way down and mids all the way up. This is generally where I start with a 4 hole Marshall as well, and then add bass and treble or dial back mids as needed. I may end up far from that starting point, but I find it a helpful way to dial in a new amp.

This is a cool web tool to visualize the curve created by manipulating the tone stack of different tube amps https://www.guitarscience.net/tsc/marshall.htm

Tip; Here's how I jump the channels on a Plexi.
Guitar into Normal 2 HI.
Jump Normal 2 LO into Treble 1 LO.

It give more useful range for adjusting clean tones from both Treble and Normal channel volumes, since it's using both low Inputs instead of both high inputs.
Add a one knob volume box in the fx loop and enjoy almost Fender like cleans from a Plexi, works amazing with pedals.

Great tip. I just tried it this morning.

In addition to the fuller useful range for blending of the Treble and Normal channel volumes, there is also much more useful range on the guitar volume knob on my Cutlass, especially for getting a fuller clean / EOB on the neck pickup.

I opened up the treble knob more fully on my amp, but otherwise settings pretty much the same.

What I especially liked about this in terms of a different voicing: I swear this sounds a little more like a '59 Tweed Bassman to me with the fuller bass. Another amp that I would have liked to own, except that the Plexi is more flexible, so I don't need a '59 Bassman anymore.

Nice! :love

Man is it fun watching someone experience their first extended period with a Superlead circuit. It does so much that you wouldn’t think an amp from the 60s would do.

@DrewJD82 You chase the Adam Jones tones yet? They’re in there.

Not yet, that'll come at some point. Right now I'm still in the tonal eras between '69 and '87. Though that had to take a pause to get started on the new Do Something season and it's nothin' but chugga chugga here this weekend.
