Do you guys find that each guitar sounds different but still good, or do you have to change your settings every time you switch guitars? How does that workout for you guys?

No. I don't change my settings when changing guitars.
I have about three standard settings on each amp channel that I switch between depending on the song and the sound I want, but my settings are more song dependand than guitar dependant.

My Ibanez is for shreddin or anything that involves me playing fast and/or showing off.
My ESP is for rockin', jazz, blues, and chugga chugga
My Schecter tele does everything else, clean, blues, leads, anything that needs hickory smoked tone y'know.

Re: For The Guys With Multiple Guitars
I'm always messing with all my knobs, just 'cuz it's the nature of my rig. It's not that it continually gives me BAD tones, it's just there's so many good tones that I want. It's all spontaneous, y'know, but I use my different guitars as a starting point.
Like, my Warlock is very bassy and very heavy-sounding so I usually tame the lows and crank the highs, and usually back up on the distortion, whereas my Strat is very bright and thin and clean, so I turn up the bass and gain. Y'know?
I think setting your amp and leaving it is kind of ignorant 'cuz there's a lot of variables...I think someone on here once posted "People need to learn to play their amps just as much as they play their guitars," and I've found it's a good philosophy...

I Know each and every one of my guitars well enough that I normally have a preconcieved notion of what happens when I Pick anyone of them up..If I go from a strat to my SG I do have to tweak my settings a bit but it's nothing magor and I easily work around it...I also know that there are certain guitars that work for a certain type or style of song that we play and I'll grab that type guitar to fit the song or style..I normally grab my SG or my Les Paul if we are doing any tunes from Cream for instance...If we do Tom Petty I'll either grab my Tele or a strat..My buddy could grab his Ric also..That's the beauty of having more than one guitar or multiple types of guitars..Collecting them is cool also..

Re: For The Guys With Multiple Guitars
^^Well put StratDeluxer. Maybe i'm just 100% metalhead, but I don't think I'll ever get a strat, unless It's solid mohogany and H/S/S. I just can't find any usable tones out of SC's. Even for cleans, I prefer a 59n.

Re: For The Guys With Multiple Guitars
Whatever works for you is fine brother...No need to explain to any of us...I started out on a strat because most of my favorite players used them...Clapton,Hendrix,Ritchie Blackmore,Jeff Beck,Robin Trower,and I could go on and on.... :burnout: My other favorites boiled down to either a Les Paul,SG or the 335...

Re: For The Guys With Multiple Guitars
at home i never really change guitars. i use my fat strat for practicing at home and i use my 135 and my double fat strat for gigs. i dont really use the other 2 that often. as far as amps go i use my tsl for my 135 and the 900 for my strat. so i dont really change sttings, i just change amps.

Re: For The Guys With Multiple Guitars
I have different settings for each guitar but they ain't different by too much...
for instancer if I'm going FROM my strat with 3 singles TO my HSS with the floyd, I'll move the bacck back 1 notch, move the mids up by 1 and the treble up by about 2.
When I'm practicing though my tone controls will be all over the place
