Optimum settings for Session 500?

Post by Roger Shackelton »

I have seen settings for a Session 500 suggested by individuals. What does Peavey recommend?

I have a printed paper that a friend gave to me once that says “500 Setting”. I don't know where they originated, but; it reads like this:
Pre–gain - - - - - -(5)
Low - - - - - - - - (+12 up to +15)
Paramid - - - - - - (–3)
Shift - - - - - - - (800 HZ)
High - - - - - - - - (+6)
Presence - - - - - - (–6)
Post Gain - - - - - (5)
Reverb - - - - - - -(5)
I never had a 500, so; I have no idea how it sounds. Just thought I'd try to help get started.

Hello Roger,
Thanks for using the Peavey Session 500 amplifier. I haven't found any documents here at the factory with suggested settings for your amplifier. But, I recommend that you use either the Nashville 400 control settings as a reference or the Vegas 400 as a reference.

I'm sure that some Forumites can assist you with this?
