Gibson SG 61 Reissue - Play original songs along the lines of Foo Fighters and Them Crooked Vultures and play covers of bands like Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Them Crooked Vultures - all the good stuff. Haven't gigged with it yet, but this is at practice volume with the rest of the band.

Reverb - 5
Master - 2/3
Presence - 4
Bass - 4
Middle - 5
Treble - 7
Detal - 5
Body - 7

High Dynamic Range
Mid boost - switch off for the classic stuff sometimes, but I love a good mid boost.

Yesterday on the bridge pickup I turned the tone down to 1 with guitar volume at 10 using the above settings, and our bass player nearly fell over because of the sound. It was like a slight fuzz/tremelo/synth sound that begged for vibrato. Great for some dirty blues jams. Sounded very 60's, so smooth. Wish Clapton was in my house for a demo...I didn't realise my guitar could actually sound the way it did. Love it!

Man you are spot on with your description that is the exact settings I am using now with the exception of the bass being on 3.5.... great choice man!

Glad the settings suit you man!  

I'm still too green with the VM to decide on a favorite distortion tone.  But I have settled on a sound that I really like with my Telecaster for a classic clean tone:

Rev=6, MV=9-10, Pres=8, Bass=5-6, Mid=8, Treb=4-5, DR=low, MB=off, Det=4, Bod=8

MIDS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND!! haha I finely found MY SOUND    

I play classic rock and write with somewhat of a similar vibe... Cabinet it X pattern G12H30 and Vintage 30 speakers...

Axis Supersport Rosewood with the awesome amazing best pickup in the work Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF bridge model (if you haven't tryed it do so before your ears fall off!!)

Reverb: 0
MV: 4
Presence: 8
Bass: 4
Middle: 7.5
Treble: 5.5
HDR: Engaged (guitar volume for cleans blah blah)
Mid Boost: F*** that thing! I like you guys, but not that much  
Detail: 5.5
Body: 2

Enjoy!!

Long time lurker, finally got a VM 2266C. Pretty much a beginer guitarist still, but I love good tone and wanted good gear. I play a 58 historic reissue Les Paul, and here are my current settings. Sounds great at low volume, wifes watching TV in the family room, and the glory level goes up as the MV is cranked for afternoon no one home jams. Once the MV hits 4 and up it's pure awesome. Guitar volume for grindy rythym at around 4, to searing lead tone at 10.

Body-6
Detail-8
Mid Boost- off
HDR
Treble-7
Middle-5
Bass-3
Presence-6
MV-0 to 10
Reverb-1-2 depending on volume

Enjoy

Welcome to the forum nitrox1.

Does anyone have a great setting to get a dumble kinda sound out of the amp, with or withot pedals?

I've had my vintage modern for about a year now and still every month I changed the settings to find where "MY" tone was

Last week a dialed in something that sounds PRECISELY like the tone I've been hearing in my head (maybe even better)

Body:   3.5
Detail:  6

High Dyna Range
Midboost Off

Treble:    5
Mid:        7
Bass:      5
Presence: 7.6
Reverb off
Master Volume was at 5 when i was tweaking but probably the higher the better but i'm going to find out next friday

It sounds so raw and sweet with my Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 80'

Oh btw I have one Celestion Vintage 30 in the 2266c The other one is a stock speaker (I'm too lazy to buy a second V30 xD)

So I was just playing around with the VM for a couple hours and there are so many combos of settings that I love.  Too bad you can't save your faves to the amp's memory or something.  But I think I found my all around, go-to favorite setting....all knobs on 5 (except reverb (0) and MV to taste), HDR and Mid Boost in.  Basically the factory suggestions is my fave!  Is this normal?  Anyone else play it like this?  I didn't read every post so apologize if it's been mentioned before.  Cheers!!!!

There is no such thing as normal, only what sounds right for you (no matter what position the controls end up at!).

High Dynamic range does it for me.... mid boost off.

reverb     - 3 (sometimes)
precence - 8
bass       - 7
middle    - 4
treble     - 5
detail     - 5.5
body      - 3.5
Master   - 7+
Mid boost out

That gets a pretty good GnRish tone
Roll back on the volume for a nice Zeppelin/ACDCish tone
Stomp on the eq for some added mids and gain
Hit the Detox for clean (still not quite perfect yet)

I use Rebell yell pick ups which are fairly hot so if you use lower output pups then you may want to add a little more gain

Fun thread.  :)  

Wow, I'm amazed at how many players set Body/Detail in HDR way higher than I do.

Here's what I've been finding works best for me with my 2466, at this point.  Guitar is a '95 Les Paul Studio with Seth Lover pickups and orange drop caps.  Cab is a 1960bx.

Reverb    - off or 3 (mainly for slow blues)
Master    - 6-7
Presence - 3
Bass       - 4 (sometimes 3)
Mid         - 6
Treble     - 5
High Dynamic Range
Mid boost off
Detail     - 3.5
Body      - 3

I'm having trouble finding a tone on my 2266 head that I really love.
Anyone have a good metal tone? I've tried quite a few tones in this thread so far and they all seem far too trebly.
