Hello, thought I'd post this up here since so many people helped last time I did!
I'm using a Dual Rectifier 3 channel and I can't quite get the sound I'm after. I play pretty fast heavy stuff in the vein of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Killswitch Engage, Meshuggah blah blah blah. I changed from a Marshall 1960 cab to a Mesa Traditional 4x12, which I prefer.
Channel 1 is only used in clean mode. Sounds amazing at a fairly low volume but as I turn the output up on my amp is loses it.
Channel 2 is fine, I use a horrible sound but that's deliberate.
Channel 3 is the problem. I can't seem to get it sounding as good as my mates F**ing Crate Blue Voodoo! It's just not tight enough and seems a bit... sore.
I only use a Boss Noise Supprssor at the front but I keep the effects loop on with nothing through it (I don't like bypassing it) and use the Output as more of a volume control.
I have the Output at about 11:00 when playing live etc. My settings for channel 3 are roughly as follows:
Master - 9:00
Gain - 1:30
Presence - 12:30
Bass - 1:30
Middle - 11:00
Treble - 1:00
I've tried all sorts, this is about as good as I can get it.
And I've noticed that SEND on the back controls the volume of everything, any advice on where that should be at? I've got it at about 12.
Using an LTD with EMG HZ's.
Any help would be much appreciated!
