Hello all! I finally have my Gibson GA-4RE from E-bay up and running in working order. New three-prong cord, new electrolytic capacitors, pots cleaned and new VCR belt to replace the incorrect O-ring. Now I am playing it all the time!
Because this is my first oilcan, what settings do people use on the Gibson units or oilcans in general? I am trying to get a good 50's slapback sound going. However, I think the preset echo speeds are throwing me off a little. So far I am getting my best sound by using the first of the three echo settings, dialing back the Reverberation setting to about 8-9 and running the Direct setting on 10.
What are your favorites, especially for slapback?
