Now that the S2000 has been out for a long time, what settings do you find that work best for you.

I have the Session 2000 and I stay with the presets. Usually #11 on the A bank. The "Start Here" setting is also good. I recently changed from a Carter D10 to an Emmons Legrand II and I noticed the settings for the Carter didn't sound the same on the Emmons. On my Carter I used the Jeff Newman setting and the Carter setting.
You have 128 settings on the A bank, plus another 128 on the B bank. Way more than anyone needs. I prefer the Nashville groups.

Roy, I use User Preset #8 most of the time which is named Steel #3. I use the Nashville steel preamp setting which I now use in all of the presets. I've never found the sound I like in the Session, Classic or Modern preamps. I edit it with these settings: Shift 800,Low +14,Mid -12,High +4.5, Presence -42. For Global settings I use: Input 75,Low 0,Mid -12, High +25 and Output 31. I use several of the factory presets but add the above to all of them. In some of the ones that have the 3 band EQ I have to adjust the highs sometimes. Let me know how this works. Everyone's ears are different.

Hi David thanks for the response. The settings I use here at home sound real good, but when I get out in the honky-tonk it sounds muddy and doesn't fit in real good with the rest of the group (to my ears).
