Country settings?

[blindmuddy]

I have a DC3 combo and I've been playing with my daughters and they want to play some Brad Paisley stuff and I've never played that kinda stuff and am looking for settings that will get me in the ballpark (although I haven't got a tele, My strat will have to do for the moment) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Country? :shock: LOL! :lol:
Isn't that what they make Peavey amps for?

Actually Fender. SF Twin with a Tele and you can nail some country.

My '77 Mk I's sound great for Country! I can get a great Vince Gill tone or Danny Gatton. Even Albert Lee to name a few. No problem here. Twang it up!

For my Mk III, Rhythm 1:Graphic Out, Max the treble, minimize the bass, mid about 4-5, gain no higher than 3, plenty of reverb...

Then again if you are referring to what passes for "Country" in the last 10 years or so, all bets are off. I hear all kinds of progressive metal and hard rock guitar sounds slathered all over today's Country, or what I prefer to refer to as "Nashville Pop". It kinda stops being country at a certain point and seems like they are calling it that because the singer has a southern accent.

Thanks Tigerstrat that's the kinda info I'm lookin for. i hate the "pop" country stuff but I always love to hear someone who can really tear it up on a tele and I'm bored and need to learn some different stuff.

I'm also a DC-3 user. Try this: No graphic eq. On the clean channel, gain somewhere around 6 or so, mid at 3 or below (depending if you want it to break up a little - remember the mid above 2 acts like a driver on this amp), bass in the 5 range. Presence should be up around 6 or 7. Here's the trick: drive the master; i.e. CRANK it into the over 7 range, and use the output level to trim the volume. Reverb to taste. This works VERY well on a tele, and gets close if you are using a strat. It's also a big help if you have some sort of compression pedal. By driving the master you are running the output tubes hotter, and get close to the sound you're going for. Brad Paisley is a remarkable player, by the way. I'm no fan of country, but the man know's what he's doing on that guitar,
