Nile Rodgers’s amp settings

[camilovelandiamusic]

So I got to play with Nile Rodgers last night at Grammys On The Hill and I took a picture of his Fender Deville’s settings. His production manager Nick carried a picture and always adjusts the amp to these settings. I know we dont have a Deville on FAS systems yet, but just in case we get em in the future…. Here’s the settings..

Volume 2
Treble 8
Bass 5.5
Mids 5.75ish?
Presence 12

Also got to play and tune his original “hitmaker” guitar. He said its a 59 neck, and a 63 body. Super thin neck!

No idea actually. Im not familiar with the hotrod series’ circuit. Compared to my blackface amps, Id say the Devilles are less sparkly, more midrangy… although Nile sounded good, but I think his guitar is really bright. I could see how playing throw a twin or a deluxe reverb would decapitate people with brightness
