Re: Not loving my tone...
Do you have a meter so you can just set the bias yourself? If not just pick up an inexpensive one from the hardware store and learn how to do it yourself and save a lot on money. Than you can change the bias yourself and test out different setting setting and see how you like them. I believe I have mine set to 37.
As for setting I cruised around the web and found the below ones and tested them just to see how they sounded and also if they were close to what I wanted I could try my own tweaks.
And I do not believe you need pedals on this amp to get the sound you are looking for though. But I do have two I use sometimes. One I cannot remember what it is and the other is a SoloDallas Schaffer Replica.
If you want some reading on this amp go here and have fun:
The below setting are volume to taste that I grabbed looking around:
Gain “lead 2” at 9
Gain “lead 1” under 4
treble to 3
bass at 6
mids to 7-8,
resonance to 3
——————————
Lead 2
Bass @7
Treb @ 3
Mid @8
Pres @3
Res @8
Gain @~1.5 on Lead 2)
volume over 2
————————-
