"Beatle" settings on my 330 Hi-Gains?

[octagon]

Can anyone suggest what settings to use(pickup selection,vol,tone and blend position)for Beatle songs.I got some suggestions on amp settings for my AD30VT but I'd like to know how to set the controls on my guitar(04 330/Hi-Gains)for best effect.Thanks in advance for any help.

Mitch,

Wish I could help. I could never afford a real Vox AC-30 (I mean the real 60's made in England ones), but I CAN afford BF Fender amps!
So, I keep the base knob turned to about 3-4 on my little '65 Princeton, put the treble on about 6, Vol. on 5 and I've got something pretty close for the early stuff. For more realism, (assuming a Fender 6v6 amp. Big 6L6 amps are awfully boomy)one could use replacement AlNiCo speakers patterned after the original Vox's. Further, with THD Yellow Jackets, one could use el-84 tubes with Vox style Alnico replacement speakers-an affordable way to fairly NAIL that early tone from the Vox AC-30. Sorry for the lengthy post

Larry,thanks for your post.What I'd like to know is the settings I should use on my guitar:neck or bridge pick up or both.Volume and tone settings(on guitar)?And how to use the Blend control?Thanks for any advice.

Mitch,

I'm afraid you are on your own! For "I Feel Fine" make sure to use just the neck p/u. That's about it. Have fun experimenting with your Rickenbacker.
