Vic Thanks Vic! I think with new strings, 9 guage slinkys, I'll get those bends easier. But I need more practice too, and I got headphones so, once the kids are in bed...bring it on! :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion MinorKey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376123 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376112 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 23:53:38 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion s1120 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376112 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376111 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:56:19 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376111 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376102 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:01:36 +0000

I used the dirty channel, eq all mids, gain on 3 3/4, drive on 3 1/2]]> Guitar Players Discussion MinorKey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376084 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376074 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 21:27:59 +0000
From memory, I used to keep the gain down to about 4 when playing blues - like you, I needed very little volume on the amp. I tended to keep the volume switched up on the guitar though, round about 8 or 9 - advice from these very forums, you might want to turn it up a little for solos.

Not a bad little amp, the Frontman....had mine for a couple of years or so then got a Cube 15. Again, from memory, the only thing missing from the Frontman is reverb or echo, the Cube has both.

:D :D :D

Crow, I recently saw that episode too. It was the one with the dogs and Cheech Marin doing Bucks voice wasn't it? I think BB was getting some speaker breakup from the Pig Nose. The only reason I suggested the dirty chanel with a tad of gain was because it is a Fender solid state practice amp and I think the clean chanel will be very bright and it is my experience in those type of amps that if your gain is below 2 or 3 on the dirty chanel there is no overall volume. I like just a tad of grit in my blues tone. :D

I actually expected to see a lot of folks jump in with various settings because there are a wide variety of blues tones and everyone is different. Ever notice how some people can get the same basic tone with totally different settings/guitars/pickups?]]> Guitar Players Discussion TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376073 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376072 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 18:21:28 +0000
Generally I'm not a BB fan, but I saw him on an old episode of "Married... With Children" the other night, playing Lucille all by himself through a Pignose, and it was killer.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Crow https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/getting-a-blues-tone/#post-376072
