SWR: Which settings do U use?

Yeah, give it some boost around 250 Hz to thicken it up then adjust the enhancer to personal taste.

The rest would depend on the speaker cabs you're using and what kind of overall tone you're looking for.

 

Start flat and season to taste.

 

agreed on the start flat thing...

i used to have these really wacked out settings, went through and redid them starting from flat and it made a big improvement...

i have the auralenhancr at about 2 oclock, bass bosted, transparency and treble up a bit. 30hz + 15db, and then the rest is really up to my mood

 

SWR SM500/400-S

Aural Enhancer, Bass, & Treble at 2:00.
Transparency at Noon.
+5 db at 60 Hz & 100 Hz (or 250 Hz depending...)
-10 db at 800 Hz
+2 db at 1.5 kHz

 

actually i play with the eq section flat. i boost the bass a little bit and i do the same with highs. if you tell us which soun d are you trying to have, we could help you more. i forgot to mention that i play a precision bass and my amp is a sm 400s. cab is a laney 4x10 but in the next future i intend to buy an ampeg svt 410 hlf.

 

It depends on your kind of music, your bass and cab, and your preferences.

I have the SM-400S, use it with either a Carvin 15, 210 or both. Play either a G&L L-1000 or a BugBass. Sometimes a '74 Jazz. Music is mainly classic blues.

Usually my settings boost low mids (250 hz), cut transparency a bit, maybe boost 500-800 hz if the room is muddy. Sometimes a touch of bass, too.

A question: I usually set my input gain between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock, depending on the bass. Is this usual for those of you playing an SWR? My Jazz actually requires gain closer to 2 o'clock before the clip light comes on.

I've got an SM-900, and I mostly play my Reverend Rumblefish, which is a passive J-style bass. I set all 12 bands of EQ flat, gain at about 1pm, aural enhancer and bass at around 2pm, treble about 1pm. And don't forget to crack open that Effects Blend just a bit, even if you're not running any effects.. it adds something anyway, for some reason!
