Opinions are wanted. I've been struggling a bit with with amp placement and ice-pick treble issues. My bass player advised me this past gig, to turn all eq knobs on 10 (for flatness?) and use the GEQ for tone shaping. I played a set like that and I loved the tone except for the edge or "hair" I was getting. Then I remembered that the mid knob is a gain stage past 4, so I cut it back. It still was pretty acceptable, but I didn't have as much sustain, and it hollowed out the tone a bit. I played with the graphic and tried to compensate for cutting the mid back. Which slider or frequency will do that best, I will have to experiment more. I also rolled off the treble on the knob and cut the end slider (6k?) almost all the way off. I also cut the 80hz slider almost all the way off too. Question is all eq knobs on 10 flat? All the way on zero yields no sound?
I am really close, I feel, to finding the grailtone for me. I wanted to see what any of you thought about this approach..using the knobs dimed and then using the GEQ as a final tone shaper...am I on the right track or thinking pattern?
on one hand, I still feel like I should be able to get my tone without the GEQ, on the other..it may be nice for tweaking.
It has been suggested that the JJs may be too bright for me as well..(which is a whole other discussion I'm sure...
just rambling thoughts here, feel free to opine..Shaun
