Pretty self explanatory. For those that use the X-Treme amps (5.1, 10.1) what are your settings? Pictures would be great. Just curious to see what everyone sets their amps at for a particular tone. I ask because after being happy with my tone in the past (thanks to Flo's suggestion post) I seem to have become bored with it as of late. It's not helping either that I'm using it in my office which makes this amp sound DRASTICALLY different than in a live situation. Maybe it's time to invest in a small practice amp. :)
 
Tone doesn't get too messed around by the X-treme in my rig. Went and bought an sansamp preamp so I had a backup DI. I tend to set the tone for FOH with the sansamp and send to the desk from there and use the X-treme so set the stage sound.

What I found was that the settings I was using on my X-treme was wayy too bassey and for the FOH guys (via the DI) so it's been good to be able to set both sounds seperatly.

On my X-treme I turn the compressor off (obviously), add a bit of contour (to get some bassy/clicky balls to the tone), add some growl (just in principle...whether I need it or not...I play Warwick after all :p lol), add some bass on the EQ, and just add treble and attack as my strings die.
 
Thanks for posting up Alex. Your amp settings look pretty close to what I have mine set at currently.
 
My rack used to be a hell ofa lot heavier when I had both heads in the same rack. The erst of the guys in the band kicked off though (don't blame them) so I put the second head in another rack.

Whenever I feel a little 'bored' with my tone...I always find all it takes is.........to turn the amp's volume up more!!! Works a treat! :D
 
I didn't touched it. 4 professional came, and they were like "piece of cake, we move upright pianos all the time" Their face turned very soon in "what the ♣♣♣♣ is that?" and "Oh ♣♣♣♣, this thing is HEAVY!!!"

Poor guys...
