I find that the bass control is around 3 o'clock, treble around 10 o'clock, and tone cut at around 90%, meaning almost all the way clockwise. I run the amp around 3-5 (9-11 o'clock) on the master, and I run the normal and top-boost in LINK mode and both are around 11'oclock. I think I currently have GT in every tube socket, medium length story as to why, if you care to know. So, that being said, I run a lot of pedals, some true bypass, some not. I love the general tone of the amp, and I'm honestly I'm fine with the amp, but it bugs me when tone controls are in odd positions, like nearly OFF. I got the Alnico Blues and I'm playing a telecaster. I know this is an old post, but I'm looking to tame the treble on my AC30 CC2. (Electro Harmonix in the Power Tubes section) I use a Fender American Strat, all single coils.

I have Celestion Alnico Blues and performed the Bright Capacitor mod (to tame the highs).

So I need to pull the Top boost channel up to par so that I can switch back and forth between Clean and Overdrive. I have noticed that the Normal channel, if I use it as my overdrive OR clean, sounds better than Top Boost as overdrive or clean. Right now I have the default Tong-Sol in V1 and a Chinese in V2. Moreover, I need to keep the gain knobs at relatively the same level since I am switching back and forth with a floor pedal, So i can't just increase the gain on the Top Boost.

I would like the Top Boost channel to be very dirty. So in keeping with my requirements for Normal being clean and Top Boost being dirty, I need:Ī) in V1 position, a tube that can provide a nice chimey clean classic AC30 tone for Normal Channel, as well as supplying the dirt for the initial "Top Boost" gainī) in v2 position, a tube that can break up early and provide the overdrive for my "Top Boost". V3 is phase inverter needs to be balancedġ x GZ34 Rectifier (often goes bad in AC30) will cause fuse to blow if bad 4 x EL84/6BQ5 power tubes, need to be matched quadģ x 12AX7/ECC83 pre-amp.
