I had my brother over for a listen and he is a hardcore metal head.(I am not) The first thing he did was grab a double coil guitar, crank the gain, bass, Highs and reverb...(Dropping the mid) producing total blurry mess of sound. (Many guitarists like this-as well as him)
another good point is (if youre lucky enough) have someone that knows these amps set it up for you. i tried out an express 5:50 at a store and the salesman actually owned one so he gave me his settings and WOW it sounded good. i tried another one (or three) at GC and i could never get those great sounds i heard before.
its tough to find someone like that everywhere but it REALLY helped me out
