RE: https://metalhead.club/@derthomas/116329028543062235 Question (from my kid) to the guitarists in here: how do I get the most heavy metal sound out of this? I already figured out &quot;treble&quot; set to max helps a lot. Are there any secrets you can share? @MiseryPath @bestiaexmachina @jxrxme @TentinQuarantino @jake4480

@derthomas @MiseryPath @bestiaexmachina @jxrxme @TentinQuarantino @jake4480 Set switch to 'brown', turn up gain, turn up treble and bass but turn down mid. And set the volume to 11...

@derthomas @MiseryPath @bestiaexmachina @TentinQuarantino @jake4480 Depends a little on the amp. I would start in the brown setting/channel with bass and treble at 3 o’clock and middle at 9 o’clock. Then adapt from there. Edit: Of course with gain turned up at your liking.

@derthomas @MiseryPath @bestiaexmachina @jxrxme @TentinQuarantino @jake4480 ich hatte nicht exakt den selben Amp, aber vor längerer Zeit einen Katana Mini. Versucht mal Amp: Brown Gain: 9 Volume: 5 Bass: 8 Middle: 3 Treble: 7 + Reverb nach Geschmack. Und ganz wichtig: auf der Gitarre selbst den Bridge Tonabnehmer auswählen und alle Drehknöpfe voll aufdrehen. Bei Bedarf - und falls verfügbar - mit dem Tone Regler auf der Gitarre den Sound verfeinern, wenn das, was aus dem Amp kommt grundsätzlich mal passt.

@derthomas start with the toggle switch, you're clean right now. Crunch is distortion, brown is moooar disto (Van Halen inspired tone). For the bass/middle/treble you should experiment, put everything at noon and explore to see what you (well, your son) like. I tend to think that you shouldn't deviate too much from noon (9 to 3) to have something that works with everything, but sometimes it's interesting to push one or another to an extreme, depending on what's your intent (typically less bass/more treble might sound brighter, the contrary would sound muddier). It's good to experiment, try things, and make mistakes. Best way to learn and to find your sound.
