V4B ( reissue )Gain / MV

[BassAdder60]

Curious how other V4B amp users run their gain and Master Volume ?

 

Sone say master volume wide open and others set gain and adjust MV to suit requirements?

MV up 3 quarters and adjust gain for volume usually at gigs. Less MV at home of course. There's no right or wrong,  just personal preference.

I’ve not got on if these but did have an SVT 3-PRO which advised the same, master on full, gain for volume.
 

I’ll admit it did sound great if I was pushing it but I found that depending on how big the room/loud I had it the sound changed, so I went to the set input gain then use master for volume which evened this out.

At home ( sensible volume ) I can run the gain at 3 o clock and master at 7 o clock and it’s a lovely tone 

 

Will try at rehearsals tonight running high input gain and less MV compared to MV open fully ( last weeks method )

 

Band said it was the best tone I’ve ever had however in addition to the V4 I was using my Stingray and playing with a pick !!! 
We were playing Led Zeppelin !!

Just rock that thing 🤘😎🤘

So … it sounds better with MV fully open and gain to adjust level 

 

At rehearsals last night I was running the MV full and gain around 12 o clock 

 

Sounded great 👍
