I think I have a bad ear for tone even though I've been playing for about 3 years.
I have a Fender G-Dec 15 watt modeling amp that i use for recording all of my complex effects, but i can never get the Gain, Treble, bass, and middle to work to get a good sound.
I use a blackface setting for a thicker sound, unfortunately, i can't get my trebble to come out enough so that if i play power chords, you get that nice proper Growl to it.
This obviously for metal.
If i just give you a setting that I'm using a blackface amp set with a bass boost for my lows, could you reccomend about what numbers would give me a decent not-muddy tone for metal?
it either ends up too muddy or it loses all of its low end.
a little help? D:

first get an overdrive to boost the distortion up, avoid distorion pedals as they dont sound as good, the point of an overdrive is to use your amps distortion, but add too it, giving it a better over all sound. to do this turn the "distortion"(what ever they call it on that particular pedal) down to one or two, then crank the volume up till you get the gain that you want, and fiddle with the tone on the pedal and the amp. also try other amps, sure the black face might sound good clean, but its no metal amp. feel free to experiment, theres no such thing as a "best" amp

I've got the gain control and an overdrive setting separate, so i think that would help me out! thanks! biggrin
