Hi all,
I'd love some general advice from all you knowledgable people on this forum. I know it's hard to give cut and dry specifics for differing equipment but I think some of what I need to know might just be fairly fundamental and as an equipment noob I simply don't understand it!
Equipment wise I'm running a Biyang Metal End King into the clean channel of an Ashton Bluetongue 50w all tube amplifier with a PRS Tremonti with Seymour Duncan Distortion + Jazz pickups.
I think I'm having a hard time getting my head around trying to EQ the amp and the pedal and most of all how I should treat the volumes. Obviously a 50w tube amp is quite loud in my bedroom but depending on how I setup the channel level, master volume and pedal level there is quite a bit of room to tweak these.
So I guess my question is...what is likely to be the best way to push the amp? I can push the master volume up to say 12'clock, but then obviously I have to set the pedal level extremely low to compensate. Or I can push the master low, the clean channel level to full and keep the pedal level also fairly low. Or I can just push the level on the pedal and keep the master/channel level low.
So, theoretically, what should be the most effective way of balancing the master volume, channel level and pedal level? Or am I just worrying about nothing...I don't really know!! :smack:
Thank you so much!
