I'd use the setting in the picture to get a bluesy sound out of my Tele. However, my preferences change regularly, and I might need a different sound with the band than when playing alone, so AFAIK the sliders get used quite a bit.
I do have a BOSS GE7 and to me there's no one size fits all setting. Apart from using different settings for different guitars I may also use it for small adjustments when combining any guitar with different amps.
Only you can determine what the best tone frequency/EQ is for your archtop. I use a Boss EQ and tend to change its settings depending on which guitar or amp is in play as well as the size/acoustics of the room. It's like using salt and pepper on a meal. Flavor your tone to your taste and enjoy the variety.
Depends substantially on context. Solo guitar? What size group? Am I the only comping instrument? How does it sound when I start playing (which depends on everything from the pick to the ceiling height)? Lead or rhythm?
With pbdg and, say, alto, I dial out a lot of the lows for comping. For playing single note lines, I like a thick sound so I add the lows back in with an octave device. I'm able to get the lows out with the amp's bass control. I roll off highs at the amp just a little. I often adjust the tone control on the guitar while soloing, but that depends on what I want the solo to sound like. Sometimes I like a little more bite, meaning more highs.
Reminds me of my beloved 66 Epi Howard Roberts Standard !
The neck was not a short scale, definitely longer that the one of the Byrdland I had at the same time, very similar to my teacher's ES175...
That's an interesting POV the OP has.
Personally, as still really a beginner at guitar, the *only* things I play when comping are inversions. Not as a rule, you know, but 90% of the time that's...
Excellent instruments can be had in that range, especially when buying used. Based on this price range I’ll echo the Eastman 580 CE once more.

Many common power tubes use the same socket, except the EL84. I also asked Koch about tube swapping and the amp can handle it. I’ve already tried a 6V6 in mine but prefer the stock EL34. I did swap...
Thanks RLetson,
-But why do we think it's important that an artist performs his/her own material?
The recording industry is always looking for the next Taylor Swift, still some of her greatest hits...
Yeah, same here.
A set of feeler gauges is very inexpensive, and can be had at any auto parts store, or, I would think, most music shops....but, I haven't found much use for my set.

Thanks for the reply.
What gets me a bit questionned is the tube socket ?
I'm not sure an EL34 socket is the same as the 6V6, and moreover the 6L6?
Maybe an adaptator is needed ?
Koch's answer...
Apparently so. The user manual lists a few possible substitutes for the EL34, including 6L6, 5881 and 6V6. Your concern about this swap is exactly the reason I'm not doing it yet. I've sent in a...
I'm not sure I really understood. You can put a 6V6 in place of the EL34 right off the bat in this amp??
Thanks for all this great information. The Little Gristle got out of my interest for a while,...
