Do you even use your Deep knob ? I find at as low as 7:00 the speakers are crying !!!
 
Always at noon on the Herbert & the Einstein, never even thought of moving it anywhere.

Are you sure you haven't fried your speakers?
 
I Keep It @ 3:00 :D

Any more and it gets a little Muddy... This with a Mills Oversize Afterburner... But man... w/6550's WHAT A THUMP! :rock:

Roid RAGE
 
I'm not running all 6550s, I have mine mixed with EL34s, but I don't turn the deep past noon most days. At noon it has a ton of low end through my Mills cab, there really is no need for me to go higher.
 
I use mine at zero on my Einstein for live use. the deep knob on the einy influences frequencies at around 120hz, far lower than a guitarist need in a mix, I try not to step all over the bassist.

at home when im practicing alone though ill use it between 10 and 12 o'clock for thump.
 
When I had my 4x12 oversized Mesa Recto cab I had it around 10 o clock.
Now, with the diezel 12.00 O clock is earth-shaking without getting muddy :thumbsup:

No speakers on the Menu today. The air push is just unbelievable with the 6550's.
I did take your advice and try Herbert with EV's. The difference is remarkable in the
clarity, bottom end tightness and the top end is very clear. :thumbsup:

This amp just hates Mesa Rear Loaded V-30's. It turns them into fizzy mush....
The VH4, loves them.
 
Sorry, I haven't played with v30s for so long, I don't even remember how they act. I'm glad you like the EVMs, I don't see going back to v30, especially once you get that master up.
 
I have 4 12L's and 1 12L Black Label laying around. I may stuff them into a G-Flex cabinet I hate. :D
Thanks again for the clips. They make me tend to try things I generally don't think about. I find
that the Herbert LOVES ceramic pickups. :rock:
 
i'm running full 6550 =C=, and have the Deep Knob around 2:00 o clock. these Eminence Legends V12 love to be pushed. :D

when playing live, i mostly turn it back to ~noon.
 
I'm at about 1:00 right now. I tend to to move it around base on what I'm feeling at the moment. I have a FL Diezel cab with v30s/gk100s and a Mills Afterburner with all v30s. Both can handle the higher depth settings quite well.
