I play Hardrock-to metal. I like chunk.
I like to hear my mids. Im looking for
my cake and eat it to--which I believe
shouldnt be too much to ask considering
that I forked out the money for this
great amp. Ive tried a few different
pickups and I like these dragons for
their versatility but I find it doesnt
leave me much to hold onto in the
mids department and ultimatly
doesnt dive me the tight chunk I
need to play the riffs I hear in my
head. I hate to keep dropping money
on pickups if they arent going to do
what I want them to, and of course
if my change is right there in the knobs
--I'd much rather do that than fork out
more money. These PU's have allot
of bottom end in them so I find that
if I give them more than a quarter
of the bass on the dial, my harmonics
are gone with the wind and I in turn
have no mids. The treble is an interesting
creature as well. :roll: :roll:
heres how I have the knobs set
Vintage High Gain/Bold/Solid State
Below settings are under the assumption
that 6 is all the way up and 7 is off on the
tone control
Overall Amp Volume:
6 O'clock(given that 6 is all the way up)
Channel Master Volume:
7-8 O'clock(maybe! its very loud
@ the above setting!!
But tonally its very sustain-y!)
Presence:
11:30 O'clock to 6 O'clock
(depends on the song/if i can hear myself)
Gain:
2-3 O'clock
Bass:
7-9 O'clock
Mids:
9:30 to 11 O'clock
Treble:
1-2:30 O'clock
Suggestions PLEASE!! :idea:
