Playing Your Amp Part 2

Posted on June 14, 2010 Posted in: Blog

Getting a clean sound.

Hi from the Parlour,

Before fussing with the control knobs, lets pick a channel. If your amp only has one channel… it’s a no-brainer!  If your amp has more than one pick the quietest one ( lowest gain).  Turn the amp up until it distorts, then back it off until it just cleans up nicely. Now we can twiddle with knobs.

Gain (overdrive) is dependant on tone controls also. Most amps have controls that substact. Turn the treble down and the treble goes lower.  You can achieve a cleaner sound by scooping mids , as well as turning your guitar’s volume down, and the amp up. Especially if you have hi gain pickups. Thanks from The Parlour.
