Sixteenth Century Greensleeves amp settings — Behringer Gm108
The Rainbow guitar tone for “Sixteenth Century Greensleeves”, dialed in for a Behringer Gm108 with a Peavey Raptor international series. Studio version, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (1975)
1974 Fender Stratocaster (bridge/neck single coils) -> AIWA TP-1011 reel-to-reel tape machine preamp/boost -> 200W modded Marshall Major (Lead channel, cranked)
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 7 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Master | 6 |
Set the GM108's analog modeling switches to AMP: BRIT, MODE: HI GAIN, and SPEAKER: UK to replicate Blackmore's cranked Marshall Major. The Peavey Raptor's ceramic single coils provide the necessary Strat bite, but keeping the mid switch voiced British and mid knob at 7 captures the thick midrange push originally created by the AIWA tape preamp into a 200W power section. The GM108 has no presence or reverb knobs, so presence and reverb are omitted.
