Yo Stonge! Tried the Virt with the C+ yet?

The Boogie Pile:

I'm still working out settings on the C+ myself. It tends to want to be a little buzzier than the Mark IV. For general use I mostly put it into a "mid gain" range with a bit of V in the EQ, and use the volume on the guitar ( a PRS with lower powered pups) to clean up, or kick a BB preamp in for more gain. I haven't even been using it as much of a 2 channel amp at this point. The C+ does a nice job of cleaning up with volume, as long as you arn't hitting it with uber hot pups.

Update:

I was just playing with platy's settings from the other thread. I modified them a bit by pulling Vol 1 down to get a nearly pristine clean channel. You can then use the EQ in the classic "V", and the middle slider will basically govern how "heavy" of a sound you are getting. Works pretty well with the above mentioned PRS. I also always run in Simul mode, just because the amp seems to sound "fuller" no matter what the volume is.

Volume 1: 5 pulled
Treble: 6.5 pulled
Bass: 2 pulled
Middle: 2.5
Master 1: 2 pulled
Lead Drive: 8
Lead Master: 2 pulled

Here's one solution to the optimum clean and lead sounds of the C+. But you'll **** near go broke buying patch cables and tubes, after the fact. :lol:

I have a Mark IVA as well, and they can be setup pretty **** close to each other. My C+ seems to be able to get somewhat heavier sounds than the IV, but the IV might be a tad smoother and is more versatile with all the options. Plus, this go round with the IV ( I've owned another before) I finally figured out how to make R2 work. OTOH, the C+ seems more responsive to pick attack and volume control.

I love the IV, but I might sell it. I bought the IV before the C+, and then a month later the opportunity to buy the C+ dropped in my lap. I also have a LoneStar, so I basically have more amps than I need at the moment. They are all cool, but I think the combination of the Lonestar for "R1" and "R2" and the C+ for "R3" makes more sense at the moment. Besides, I can always buy another IV, or maybe Boogie will come up my holy grail Mark V with lonestar R1 and R2 and Mark IV R3.

At first I have seen the ones that were modded to the C+ and never really liked em. Then the opportunity came up to finally get a REAL C+..so I wanted to see what the hype is. So I found a fully loaded one and I didn't really like it. Too Metallica-ie. Well I was playing mainly marshalls at the time and I was going to sell it (C+)..and then my marshall stop working momentarily. So I was forced to dial the C+ in. I have been hooked on mesa ever since (mark series). IIIs are pretty sweet and I have never played a I. But IVs and C+ are so far my fav. I wish I had a mark IV. I can't afford one right now though. They really are tweeker amps. I'll will try to post some photos of mine. I don't have a camera and I am waiting on my Thiele. but here are my settings.

vol 1: 6.5 (don't really pull this knob much)
treb: 6.8 (pulled for heavy/ not pulled for EQ out)
bass: 3.1
mid: 2.1
master: (pulled for my strat some times if sound is to thin)
L drive: 7.7 (pulled no foot switch at moment)
L master: 7.9 (pulled)

EQ: V (out for good leads)
750 fader is my thickness control. I adjust it for the type of room I am in or if bass player is drwning me out (which was hardly ever until he finally got a Mesa rig)

what's Virt?

 

[sbalderrama]

what's Virt?

Hmm... I thought you were the same "Stonge" I know from other boards. My Bad!

A "Virt" refer's to a Hamer Virtuoso, an 80's 36 fret shredalistic guitar:
