I wanted to see what other settings people who had Anniversery electronics were using?

I myself for the most part find I use both PUP's on with the both PUP volumes all the way up or nearly, as for the filters I am 8-9 on the bridge and about 5-6 on the neck with the neck Q down and the bridge Q up, and what i get is an Articulate warmth that I would describe at buttery smooth with a little growl.

I would appreciate if anyone had any other setting they could share ... I am still learning what these controls can do.
and so far Ill just say my Brown Bass definitely has an organic quality ...meaning it almost feels alive in my hands and the more I play it the better it sounds.
thanks

Hi Mica, Val ..... if you see this,
Rather than reposting I thought I would take a last shot with this thread, Perhaps I would do better in a different area of the board ..... Can we move this into the General Alembic Discussion Area?

Tom-

I think the settings apply universally across all Alembics, or at least all Alembics with filters. Whether you have Vol/Vol or Vol/Pan, we still are all looking to balance the ratio of the pickups to get the most appropriate tone for our work. The application of filters in an Anniversary config has to be about the same as for any Signature or Series I, and close for Series II. They all have filters and some way to control the amount of boost at the knuckle, right? I guess what I am saying is that you should be able to learn something from everyone's settings, not just from other Anniversary users.

I will try to find the thread, but this was discussed at length sometime within the last six months. People may be talked out on the subject.

bsee, thanks for posting
Definitely right about learning something from everyone's settings not just with Anniversary electronics, Honestly I did not do a search, but I will, I just was wondering what other people were getting tone wise or if they had any basic advice concerning the Ann. Circuit ...
Again for myself, I am just really looking to gain as complete control/understanding as I can over them.
.... onward to the search function
