Thanks for the input, I'll give it a try.

I would set the OD1 channel for playing rhythm and give the OD2 channel alittle more volume and mid punch, so when the lead break comes you switch channels and step out of the mix.

it's not any different from the way I have my rack mount pre-amps setup. Lets say preset 199 I'm using for playing rhythm then when the lead break comes I switch to preset 198. Which will have say boosted EQ settings ,delay, chorus,etc., And tweaked enough to walk me out over anything thats being played to hard because some rhythm guitar players sometimes don't think in terms of dynamics.

A Gibson les Paul and a marshall should allready sound great.  
yes how the guitar and amp are set along with how its played all figures into the big picture.

Maybe after you get a decent sound from your amp tryed to put a little bit "special" attention to your playing  ;)]]> Live Sound Heelsy https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/les-paul-marshall-tone/#post-48398 Re: Les Paul/Marshall Tone https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/les-paul-marshall-tone/#post-48397 Thu, 09 Oct 2003 03:20:56 +0000 Nice amp by the way. If you want to make the most of the  amp you'll need to get the footswitch that's designed for it. Set up your clean, rythm and lead channels seperately boost the lead channel and Eq it to cut through the rythm section. Also what would help a great deal is having a decent PA. you can get a surprisingly good one for just over $1G CDN. Check out Behringer's site.

If you wan't to really hone your sound as a band, a PA will really help and is a worthwhile investment.  It's also a good way to ensure that everyone is heard equally well.


I do have the foot pedal that came with the Marshall. The band does have a mixer and PA already at our practice site, we are at the initial stages and have not used it yet. Maybe I should just wait and see how that improves things. Thanks.

Understanding the alternation of EQ settings and that a power attenuators/power soak enable you to dial in any amount of power Output saturation, at any speaker volume level. Which is essential for obtaining a satisfying range of amp tones. Power-stage clipping is essential to the classic amp tone sounds.

You'll need to spend time adjusting and experimenting to find a combination of the setting will help.

How's yer EQ set up? Most of the time you're gonna need some midrange and highs added to cut through a mix.
