The best suggestion is sytematic experimentation with the bass and treble controls.
A separate equalizer will help

Turn everything to zero.

Turn the volume up to about 3 or 4.

Now play a chord and turn up the base slowly until you like the low end sounds.

Now turn up the mids till you get what you want from the mids.

Now turn up the treble.

I find that doing it from low to high frequencies, I get a sound I like with a lot lower treble settings, and the whole thing tends to be more responsive.

Now plug in your effects loop and fine tune your sound through the effects loop using your EQ. You do have at least 2 EQ's right? One on the front end of the effects loop and one on hte back end ....]]> Guitar Players Discussion kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106697 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106667 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 03:36:51 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion blackzerogsh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106667 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106662 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 03:23:35 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion rockerman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106662 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106659 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 03:18:25 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion jg8804 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106659 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106654 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 02:56:39 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion rockerman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106654 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106632 Tue, 14 Jun 2005 21:33:50 +0000
I've got a buddy of mine who is an excellent player. I swear he can pickup any guitar, plug into any amp, and rock out. A lot of your tone ends up being in your fingers.

Anyway, since that really doesn't help you all that much, all I can say is what sound I've found that I like. I have an Epi LP going through an Ibanez TS7 pedal which then goes into a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. With that combo I've been able to achieve just about any sound I want. Tweak some settings here, and I've got a blues sound. Tweak some here and I've got a hard rock sound. Crank the knobs and I've got a metal sound.

The bottom line is this, you will just have to experiment and find out what suits your style(s).]]> Guitar Players Discussion Crank-N-Jam https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106632 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106614 Tue, 14 Jun 2005 18:30:48 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion jg8804 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106614 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-amp-set-ups/#post-106613 Tue, 14 Jun 2005 18:04:32 +0000
