I bought a used amp. It is a Fender Chorus. It seems to be pretty good but I don't know what I'm really doing. I started off acoustic and now I'm electric. Is there a comprehensive place I can go to learn what all the controls do? Treble bass delay reverb etc. I've fooled around with it some but I thought there might be some good advice out there. Any help is appreciated.

What sound are you looking to get out of it? Your right about just adjust it different ways to see what you like and don't like. Hint: Write down any setting you come across you like, it will save you trying to remember them later on. A good starting point is to set the eq (treble, Mid, bass) to their 12:00 oclock position and start from their. Presence is a an adjust for effect. For the chorus and reverb thats more adjusting to flavor or what you like it to sound like. Which maybe different from what I use. If you looking get some sustain or distortion, set the gain or preamp volume to around 8 and the master volume anywhere from 0 to 2 1/2.

Generally with a 2 channel amp you set the 1st channel for clean tone and the 2nd channel for the lead or distortion.

Hope this helped.

Your Welcome.

When you decide to expand include an Equalizer pedal. it will give you a thicker tone and allow for more control.

The best way to learn what all the controls do is to turn 'em, one at a time, and play!
