Also the other settings on my Peavey amp out of 12 are Treble 3, Bass
8-10, Mid 6, Reverb 3. Are these familiar settings? Advice welcome."


Tim,

First try with cutting the treble to 0, middle to 2 and bass to full.
Cut the reverb while testing to see if it matters. Use the NORMAL
channel, and set the master volume to 3, set the "normal" volume to a
point just below the point where you get feedback. The pot meter on
the mic may be set to 8-10. Try cupping the mic as tighly as possible
and blow. Try different settings until you get a sound you like, but
the general idea is to cut treble and middle and cup the mic,
sometimes it matters where you stand relatively to the amp - but IMHO
I think those amps just don't cut it. If the volume's still too low
think you may have to mic it.
Good luck !
