To get the Duane Eddy*Peter Gunn type) sound..most put the selector to bridge pu....as you would think.But Albert says use the neck p/up but play about 1/2 " from the bridge....simple but it works...

Spread myself pretty evenly between the Bridge, Bridge/Neck, and Neck settings. My G & L S-500 has a Strat 5-way plus a mini toggle to bring in about 75% of the neck pickup when the 5-way is in the bridge setting (Tele sound) and an even Neck/Bridge (Jag/JM sound) blend with the 5-way in the neck position. I never use the middle alone and except for an occasional song in the 2 or 4 position, pretty much use it as a two-pickup guitar. Reverb Tank: 5-5-5. I set my Showman Tone controls and Bright Switch like Ivan, but usually no more than 5 or 6 on my Volume. I use smaller combo amps a lot-always JBL or EV speakers; usually Treble and Bass between 6-8, Mids dialed out Volume 4-5. Pedals: EH Big Muff Pi, Boss SD-2 OD, Boss TR-2 Trem, Boss RV-3 (Delay only), Line 6 Rotary Simulator. I just picked up a Boss ME-70 Multi FX which I like. Top

My FRV1 stays at 4-6-6 and I like my tremolo depth about 2/3rds up with a rate that I move from 60-75%, depending on how I feel. I keep my amp eq at b4 m5 t6. — Top
