Vintage Bass Amps
Posted in Posters on 09/09/2007 06:40 am by admin
What guitar amp settings should I use to best pick up my faults?
I have a Squier Strat and a Peavey Rage 258 amp.
amp controls:
switch to select clean or gain
pre gain and post gain (pre gain=dist. post=vol.)
clean volume knob
EQ – low, medium, high (bass, med., high)
3 way selector for tone, one is called stack, it mimicks larger amps (also muffles sound, good for metal/palm muting), vintage and modern are similar but vintage is sharper and cleaner.
all dials go to 10 of course
and on the Squier if you dont use strats there’s neck, mid and bridge pickups, two tone and one volume control.
I’m practicing pentatonic scales and working on getting rid of the buzzes, ive still got small ones which are barely audible unless i plug into the amp, and i have to concentrate more on what im listening to than playing to hear them, so i want them to be as clear as pssible.
Well when I write a son I always use an acoustic guitar because it makes an ear piercing buzz that lets you know that you made a mistake.
Always learn something new on acoustic guitar or electric on clean. Keep the gain down. That pick up positioning to the center of the guitar here the most resonating of the body happens and you will know..
My clean is set up like this from 1 -10 (1 the lowest 10 -the highest)
Bright – 8
Bass – 9
Middler – 4
Gain – 0
Treble – 3
The bright tones will give the electric guitar an acoustic sound and warmth. Bass will give it the right amount of bounce needed.
Gain provides a more overdrive or distortion sound so you want that taken off as much as you can. IT also provides more boost to make a gritty sound.
Write and practice slow, Always sit up right with a Straight back. Guitar should rest in between your legs, The guitar should be at a 49 to 48 degree angle from the ground while it is on your lap.
Sit on a bar stool with the left leg (for right handed players) up higher than the right leg. OR get a guitar foot stool. To help keep the guitar in one position.
Guitar effects are only used to help provide a more intense sound you wrote in clean. When you write a song you should know where you want what guitar effect as you write it in clean.
The distortion will belend the sounds to make them sound more natrual. Where clean or acoustic will let you know where you messed up.
