Hey been messing around w be100 mostly trying to get some more vintage plexi tones from the amp jtm45ish type tones. I know they're complete different animals but was wondering if any body had some settings ideas.

Well it will get you closer to a cranked superlead. For a cranked tone gain at 8 ,bass at 4,mid at 8, treb at 7 and pres at 6. Master to taste. These are on a 1 to 10 scale on the knobs. You can of course use less gain but might have to vari the controls a bit.

Cool thx Dave. I've been keeping gain at about 7/8 and really using the volume on guitar. Funny I bought this amp for a high gainer. And it def does that but the classic rock sounds/responsiveness of it are sick

Well if you have access to a load box, you can do what I do with my Smallbox: dime both masters, run speaker out to load (THD Hot Plate for me), line out from Smallbox to power amp, power amp to cab.
On top of that, I'm running it through a variac at 90 volts. I play it this way through the BE channel, and with the Master dimed (on ten), the gain is only at 3; it is almost purely power amp distortion, which is just tonal bliss...and I can get it at TV volume if I want too.
