Settings for OD on Fuchs TDS 50

[vaibhavmittal]

Hi

After having a successful partnership with Ceriatone OTS 50, I recently bought this amp and trying to understand the controls of Channel B/C for overdriven sound.

Can you suggest me settings on this amp for having a luscious overdrive sound?

Thanks

I just looked through some of those google results, lots of ODS stuff, not too much on the TDS.

Here's my settings for most situations with a TDS-50. The Reverb and Accent levels probably change the most, depending on speakers and the venue. Other settings change a little from night to night, but not too much.

Channel A:
Gain - 11 o'clock
Brite - off
Deep - off
Jazz/Rock - Rock
High - 10 o'clock
Mid - 12 noon to 2 o'clock
Low - 1 o'clock

Channel B:
Gain - 11 oclock
Brite - off
Deep - off
Jazz/Rock - Rock
High - 10 oclock
Mid - 2 oclock
Low - noon
B Master - 11 to 12 oclock

Pre Gain C - 2 to 2:30 oclock
C Master - 10 oclock

These settings work pretty well when I'm using an EV12L Classic. With an Emi Red White and Blue or Emi Delta Pro 12A, I'll goose the highs a fair bit. Some settings also vary a little between the Tele and the Les Paul.

I have the newer version with input/ output OD controls.
How do i translate these on my amp?

B Master - 11 to 12 oclock
Pre Gain C - 2 to 2:30 oclock
C Master - 10 oclock

Thanks

Gain should be Input OD, master should be Output OD. I think so, anyway.

I tried these settings but the Fuchs Channel C does not sound like my Ceriatone OTS overdrive channel. Here is the Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbKb888k_ao

I am using same Strat with Tone Tubby Bomb cabinet with Fuchs.

Please suggest!

Well, I have no experience with a Ceriatone OTS. I've never tried Tone Tubby speakers with my TDS, either, so can't offer much help in that respect. I much prefer either an EV12L Classic or Eminence Delta Pro 12A for the Fuchs than any other speaker that I've tried.

The other thing would be the internal trim pots. They'll take some tweaking to get the sound you're after.
