Attn: Orange AD200B owners where do you set your EQ

[Doombuggy68]

I’ve been trying to get a better tone with my amp and the EQ has me a little confused. All the way full up is flat? On my other amps I normally set the Mid to around 10oclock. But that’s not working for this amp. Where do you set your bass mid treble?

 

[twinfallsbass]

Bass= 9:00
Mid= Max
Treble= 10:00
Sometimes Bass is all the way off depending on the room, but Mids ( for me at at least ) are always maxed out
Mid is cut only and Bass/Treble are boost only

 

[coreyfyfe]

Treble 10-noon
Mids 2-4 o’clock
Bass noonish

Adjusted a bit per bass, cab, room, though adjusting the AB200 doesn’t do a whole lot.

BMT at 10:00, 3:00, 9:00.

though adjusting the AB200 doesn’t do a whole lot.

I've found for those fender style tone stacks virtually all the adjustment on the bass and treble is on the lower half turn and on the mid it is the upper half turn.

I inserted the AD200B component values into a tone stack calculator. I don't know the value for RIN, but different values of RIN appear to change the signal level and have no impact on the frequency response contour.

TSC in the web (guitarscience.net)

Flattest response is Mid max, Treble fully CCW, Bass cracked open a hair.

You can also dial in a pretty flat response with the mid control lower.

Mid max. Treble off. Bass up a little to the first line indicator. It’s flat as mentioned above. Gain to taste.

Do you guys think these heads would be suitable to get a 60s heavy beat sound?

 

[kbakerde]

Don’t discount the importance of setting your Master and Gain as well. Here is what I use for a rock band with my P Bass

treble - 10 o clock
Mids - 2:30-3
Bass - 9-9:30

Master - 3 o clock
Gain - set to desired output volume.

AD200B will definitely do some 60s...but I have no idea what "heavy beat" is.

 

[Doombuggy68]

Do you guys think these heads would be suitable to get a 60s heavy beat sound?

You mean like Mersey beat British type stuff? with a hollow body bass (Hofner/Epi Rivoli/Framus)? Or do you mean like Airplane, Mountain or Cream?

I came across a video of Glen Hughes explaining his settings and tried those and it seems to work better for me. He sets the mid and treb at 12 o'clock and the bass all the way off
