"Try playing with the mid control set very low (at 1), the bass control high (7-10), and then "dialing in" your tone with the treble control (usually somewhere between 2 and 5)."
I agree!
Those seem to be the magic settings for steel on a Fender Tube Amp. Those are the exact settings that I use for PSG on my Silverface Super Reverb.

Donny & Grant, I am already needing to crack her open. I believe in maintenance on newly acquired toys. I like to go through an amp and up date pertinent stuff like caps and tubes ect. so I know what I've got----peace of mind deal. If I'm already in, I might as well do a little tweaking(that is, my trusty tube guru--!!). (I'm the same way with an engine--let's see---how 'bout this cam, ect. HA!) Thanx for the advice and settings!!! It sure helps to cut through the chase to find GOOD TONE!!!
