Hello guys,
It's been 6 months now that I own a 3 channel dual rectifier and I start to understand better how it works. Damn there's a lot of switches and options on these beasts! I mostly play heavier stuffs and after experimenting a lot with channel 2 and 3 I think I finally found "the tone" I was looking for. I mainly play on a PRS Custom 22 + Orange closed back cab with V30 and my settings with Channel 2 (I hate the "metallic" sound of Channel 3, even with the presence down) are, Vintage mode with Bass 11-12, Mids 11, Highs 10, Gain 11, Presence 12, Master 12 and with a Maxon 808 as a clean boost. I have still a few questions though and if you guys could help me it would be great!
- having read a lot of posts here from people writing their settings down, I find that I'm very conservative, having everything set under 12. Is there a drawback for this type of settings?
- I always play with the fx-loop not-bypassed as I like to use some delays. I must admit that I never understood how it really works though and how to play with the Send and Mix knobs...(English is not my mother tongue and there's some technical language in here). Therefore I have both set at 12. Can someone clarify a little bit or explain me how it works and how to set it right?
- Is there a way to get rid of this "metallic" feeling of Channel 3?
- And finally is it better to keep the individual Masters high and the general Master volume low or the reverse situation?
I'm sure some guys here can clarify this and help me a lot. Thanks in advance!
Tom.
