why frequency setting do you use on your SVT?

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Also what kind of bass do you play mainly? I play a P and play through 3. I was playing around with the others but I think I prefer 3.

I hate to be "that guy", but it depends.

Depending on the bass and the room I will either boost low mids or cut high mids a little.

What do they even do?

Allows you to select the center frequency for the midrange control, from left to right 220Hz,450Hz, 800Hz, 1.6kHz and 3kHz.

mine stayed parked on 2

All i used was a Jazz Fender

Mostly 3 but 2 once in a while (depending on room, bass, and cabinet).
This is for a SVT-CL as well as SVP-CL and SVT-IIP pre amps.

I got 70's heads but usually leave the mid switch set in the middle which I think is 800 Hz which I think corresponds to the middle position on the 5 position switches on the newer ones. I leave the tone knobs fairly flat only boosting or subtracting a tiny bit, I use P basses, Rics, Gibsons and 810 cabs. With a single 15" I usually boost the bottom but leave the mid on the middle position. Those rotary controls really change the response with a small change in position.

2 or 3 depending on whether I need a little boost or a little cut.
Mostly play J basses, some P/J, some stingray.

Me too. 800 hz.

Cut at 1 with precision bass, or a little boost at 3 or 4.

mim P Bass , Classic head and an 8 10e. Been running it on 3 last few times I used it. Was running on 4 for quite a while , tried 3 one night and liked it better.
Haven't run the SVT in a while. Been using my PF 500 and a 2 12av. I run the PF on 3 also. With the PF , I keep the ultra low on , which I never did with the SVT. Occasionally I will tweak the tone controls a little bit for room adjustments but I really haven't had to do that in quite a while.

I have a VR, so it’s only a 3-way rocker switch, but I keep it right in the middle on 2. I play mostly with a 4003 Ric, but also use an Ibanez SR and a Squire fretless J.

Where's the "Cracked plaster" option ?

Hi Manti

I prefer 3.

I knew you have a good taste!

3 is what I use mostly with my fretless, for a punching, mid forward rocksound.


greetings

Wise

On 2 with my P and J both.

The midrange knob setting determines how much cut or boost each selection is so that should be noted as well.

I'm in the minority so far at 4 with one other.

I'm using the SVP Pro preamp which is essentially the same preamp used in the SVT2 Pro. The midrange knob is at 2 o'clock for a gentle boost.

Other settings, Bass at 9:00, Treble 12:00, no ultra high/low buttons in and normally the graphic EQ is switched out.

 

[Dave W]

I believe I'm on 2, but then again I thought I was at the 220hz setting (though it was 250 actually). So...I dunno

Ultra lo cranked.

 

[Rocksolid]

I use an SVP Pro also and use setting 2 with some cut.
When you use the deep switch it also kicks in a massive cut at 500hz, which I think is too severe to hear yourself in the mix, so instead I simulate a milder version by cutting on setting 2 (450hz) and boosting the bass a little.

You tryin to hit a low H note?
