Picked up one of these amazing amps yesterday not had a great deal of time with it up to now. Could any owners of the amp explain to me how the two volume and tone control interact with each other . Also what pedals are you using with the amp.

    Great video.

    Basically, there’s not a bad sound in there!

    I’m going to revisit jumping channels again after watching this. My go to settings are bright input 1, and 9 9 9 or 10 10 10, or thereabouts.

    Plug into the bright channel, all three knobs on max, control dirt and tone with your guitar controls. Simples!

    Just tried this with my clone. What a sound!
    Thanks for the tip!

    No probs, @kreggs . Another one to try: start with the settings I mentioned above, then drop the normal channel down a touch to about 11. The gain should increase and you'll get a fuzz tone with your guitar volume on max. Drop your guitar volume for different shades of dirt with no apparent loss in volume!

    I think it's the best amp I ever had and it's seen of Lazy J etc
    Fucking Loud little thing..........I only use the bright channel and needs tone on 9 with hum buckers or a touch higher
    Just fantastic thing

    Tumnus with the tone control turned up fairly high is magical

    Pedals:

    Way Huge Overrated Special, all controls at noon except tone which is at 9 o'clock.
    Dunlop JB95 Crybaby wah

    When I run both Gartones at once I use a Radial Twin City ABY to split the signal between them.

    Great Video! Shows that you do need to know how a tweed deluxe works to get the best out of it.

    Rift Tweed 15 is on the cards to go alongside my rift pr18 :)

    I’ve never played a LazyJ but tweed tone doesn’t get any better than this I’m sure.
