Mark IIC+ Strat settings

[mikebu]

Picked up a new American Standard Strat to keep my Les Paul company.

What are some good amp settings to try? My amp is a 60 watt Mark IIC+ with Reverb and EQ.

Definitely engage the pull deep knob. It was made specifically to beefen up strats.

What kind of tone are you looking for, how many guys play strats,how many have the same sound?I shoot for a kinda Walter Trout kinda tone( he uses a strat loaded into a mark 4a)which is kinda meant to be similar to a high gain mark 2c+ setting.I use a strat or tele in to a mark 3 super sixty purple stripe and set it thus volume 8,treble 10, bass 0,middle 2,master 2(ish),lead drive 8,lead master4/5....on the back prescence is 10(i use a boss rv-5 in the loop)every knob is pulled. This gives me a good crunch/lead setting but the clean channel isn,t to hot and i tweak it different when i want to use it but thats a whole different story...hope that helps.

I find anything that the les paul sounds good on the strat sounds as good. i sometimes push the bright knobs in. i also like running the gain low on the drive channel and push V 1.


Good amp and good guitars. No matter what it should sound good.
