Re: JB users-how do you like to EQ your amps?

Well I only have one real amp which I have listed in my signature. The Blackstar.



I tried turning the mids and bass up, and it's working really well.

I checked your sig as I was about to ask. haha.. Im glad to hear you are happier with your tone! The JB gets a bad rap for being shrill. It cuts thru the band VERY well and is (in most cases) shrill if your amp isnt set right.

I was afraid when I started using a JB again that it would be too toppy, Nope. Or I didnt want to add too much mid or bass cuz I wanted an 80s metal or Evh type of tone, but Ive found that it has enough highs that you can flavor in the mids or bass sometimes liberally depending on the amp.. Ive never played a blackstar except the small one, but IIRC they are supposed to be "British " flavored..

Thanks man. You are dead on with trying to get that 80s/VH type tone and that one might not think to crank up the bass too much. I thought the same exact thing, but I learned from this thread to change it and it sounds so sweet,and there's no more shrill.

I just love post like this where the post talks about amp setting, but does not mention the brand and model of the amp!

Surprisingly, my settings seem to work on most amps, with just a bit of tweaking. That said, I'm a mostly a Marshall man.

Bass at 4 mids at 3 and treble at 7, Mig 100 head with a frankenstienish 412. Using the head as a clean channel.

You must specify if you're playing in a band or you're a bedroom rock hero. Eq is very different depending of the level you play and the speakers/cab you use (among many others variables). So, no... my eq isn't the same than yours.
