Santana in the room:
I used the minihumbucker in the neck of the tele.(i know wrong guitar)
Dial in your sound with the guitar volume and tone.
Carlos settings on a mark I ( sold mine last year) are gain 7 volume7
mastervolume 7 and most important back off at least 15 meters :scared
Because of the outstanding working noise gate it gives on full guitar
volume the sustaining lead sound that turns into natural feedback when
holding a note ( super super awesome). Backoff ton 3-4 on guitarvolume
and you get the sound in like samba pa tie.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!

sorry to deviate guys, but the figure that you put under mod depth when using the gate: is it as read clockwise or is it as it functions i.e. counter-clockwise?

even though the amp is capable of high gain stuff, for some reasons i am sticking with pre-amps 5 and 6 lately, occasionally 9..

name - it's a little dry (dunno why again, even though i like at least a little ambient effect with other amps, the jmd1 sounds great completely dry)

Ok, after much playing around, tweaking, testing, changing, tweaking, etc., etc. I give you my 4 top settings. I use a JEM into a pedal board that has a Boss Tuner (TU-2), Bad Horsie Wah-Wah, Fulltone OCD (although I'm debating between this, a Keely Modified Tube Screamer, Yngwie Distortion and Electroc Harmonix Linear Power Boost), a Digitech RP250 (controlled by a Boss Line Selector (LS-2) and finally into an EVH Flanger.

Here goes:

I just realized my favorite pre-amps were the same 4 pre-amps used in Bank A Channels 1 - 4. I came by these honestly. I went into manual mode and just went through each preamp until I found the one that I liked the best for clean, dirt, OD and lead.

Great fun playing around with your settings guys!

Interested in hearing you closest settings to a JCM 900 please?

[guitarest]

My fav are pre amps 9, and 12 with no external overdrives or effects except a wah. IMO the best effect built into this amp is the noise gate. It turns a rude sizzle to quiet and controllable; its studio quality and Marshall got it right!

[Mpesta]

Couldn't agree more about the noise gate!
