I have been using my MK V combo with a Strat (EMG's) and effects board using Chan 1 only. Although I get a great sound, I couldn't help feeling I was not using my amp to it's full potential (not using chan 2 & 3.
I recently purchased a beautiful CS 356 guitar and decided to rectify this. So I used my boogie pedal board (along with a chorus / deley / reverb and Vol pedal via the send/return.
I was hoping to get a kind of a larry Carlton (ish) sound from chan 2 and a similar sound from 3 with a little extra drive etc....
What I got from chan 2 and 3 was a mess. I found both channels to be so trebly (and fizzy) that the Presence controls are off and the treble is right down, the resulting song is a non-discript mush that sounds compressed. I hate chan 2 & 3 and will probably need to go back to using overdrive pedals in chan 1. I would really like to use the amp but.........
What (if anything) am I doing wrong? The 356 has 57 Humbuckers and they do not seem to drive the amp well (ok in the clean chan) please help me someone with some suggesting etc....
