[] Anyone have a suggested starting point for my GSP2101 Artist Global
[] EQ? I use a Les Paul Studio with 490-R and 498-T HB pickups into a
[] Peavey Stereo Chorus 210 amp.
This is a highly personal thing, of course, but I once had that
amp (a stereo solid state is not a bad choice for the GSP2101
if your want to exploit the preamp tones with stereo effects,
but not add much in the amp department). So I would suggest that
you roll off the highs some (it's a bright amp), and bring up the
bass (there's not very much thump to that open-back 2x10, at least
not with the stock speakers... even then). Back then, I played
S/C strat pickups into it, so have more meat than I did--salt to
taste.
For the future: I eventually moved up to a pretty inexpensive
rack amp setup for the GSP2101: a Peavey classic 50/50 rack
tube amp (cheap used!) and a couple of no-name 2x12 cabinets.
Add a 6U rack and a Furman power conditioner (to power all of
that and any DC powered pedals you might have) and yer rawkin'
with a nice mobile setup. I don't have that anymore, but I
enjoyed it more than the Chorus 210 (which the sister now has).
Having said that, I had some cool jams with that amp.
One last thing: the EQ will depend on what you play, gigs,
jams, or home studio stuff. It will require some experimentation.

ps: dang, just when I thought this list was dead. Again.
