I found that pushing the master volume and holding back on the volume gets you into the early Marshall tone. i.e. lotsa power amp grind without getting edgy and a medium amount of preamp gain for a bit of bite.

The TMB channel only was used.

Master - 7
Volume - 3
Treble - 4
Middle - 8
Bass - 5

If channels are bridged the normal channel can be added for divine lead tone.
Volume 8 to 10
Tone - 3

An ABY switch would turn this into a 2 channel amp with a classic crunch tone for rhythm and little fill lines and the afore mentioned divine lead tone

I have found with the LP - sIII - 1X12" Lorantz (Greenback clone) combination I like to lift the tone on the normal channel just for a little more bite when I am jumpered however with a single coil guitar like the Strat I drop it back and even more for the Tele. I had been experimenting with reverse roles for the volume/Master on the TMB and settled on lower volume and higher MV, it sounds great.

I think so too Nigel. The role reversal brings out a character of the amp that you can't get otherwise. It's kinda more ..... chewy? More SAG and power tube drive. Less grit.

Do you have any clips of that spekaer you are using?

I have nothing of the Lorantz yet however should be getting some done in the next week or so. Gary the guy that did my last clips is borrowing the sIII for a gig and I will give him the Lorantz cab to try out.

Has anyone got some favorite settings for their TMB or sIII that they'd like to share?

Favorite settings? LOL...

Yeah, roll your arm down the knobs till all of them wont turn any more......

Plug into as many speakers as you own (match impedance on rear of amp)...

And act like Michael J. Fox standing in front of Doc Brown's amp in the beginning of Back To The Future!

:twisted:

I'm agreeing with these guys, Master up, volume down, a little more ambient noise, but very thick and throaty tone. Chewy is a great metaphor.

L. Bethune, thanks to one of your clips, I really like to play "Jessica" through this thing, I'll roll the treble way down on the neck pup, and play with the "Bluesbreaker"ish settings on the amp. Kinda Cream meets the Allman Bros. That's the guitar in my avatar.

What a great way to convalesce.
