NV 400 settings for a Push/Pull

Post by Mark Herrick »

I'm trying to dial in my Nashville 400 with an Emmons Push/Pull.

I have a good configuration for my Mullen, but I'm sure with the Emmons it is going to change. Anyone have a configuration they like that I could use as a starting point?

Hey Mark, Keep in mind that I have the Peavey Mod installed but here are my settings: Pre Gain = 3(Pulled Out)
Post Gain = 7
Low = +3
Mid = -6
Shift = 600
High = 0
Presence = +3
Reverb = 5
Give it a try ..... It sounds pretty good with my '75 push/pull.

Mark, you will need to find out what volume pedal people are using, because the NV 400 (or any other amp) settings will change drastically for a Hilton pedal, a pot pedal with a Matchbox impedance matcher, or a pot pedal with not impedance matcher. Pickups will make some difference, too. Also, with a Hilton pedal there is a tone control on the pedal that can shift the whole center of the EQ settings. So even two people both using a Hilton could get the same sound with different amp settings, or different sound with the same settings. What volume pedal are you using, and is there anything else between the guitar and the amp?

Good point.

I have a Goodrich L-120 without the impedance matching circuitry. I am not using a Matchbox. I am using the "3-cord" hookup to the amp - guitar directly to amp; volume pedal in the Pre-EQ loop. My amp has the Miracle Audio mod. (LeMay mod.)
