Hi All,
I'm finally making progress with my tones - getting creative and being able to play with feel again. For a long time I've been hiding behind a large amount of distortion, different tunings and playing without paying attention to myself. Now, I've lowered the gain, dropped the pu height and getting back to basics.
One thing I LOVE is a smooth high gain tone. So, I've been using some different cabs (blackstar 2x12) with profiles. This sounds smoother, and gives a bit more 'amp in the room' feel. But I'd love some pre/post eq tips, other cab recommendations and good mics to look at for a smooth, off-axis tone. Warm, with just a bit of bite.
Not owning any amps, I've been trying lots of combinations - so if any other users know of any golden tips - please share!
Thanks,
