Post tone is everything
its your life. how do you get yours?

face melting:

bass - 3-4
mid - 6-7
treble - 8-9
presence - 8-9
reverb - 3-4
gain - 9
distortion - 1
distortion level - 4-5

a [i]tiny[/i] bit of chorus to smooth things out a little, the tone knobs on a strat dont DO anything, and volume full open (amp and guitar)


not very fuzzy, super sharp. its like getting stabbed with glass, which is a good thing.

I use several different settings on my Peavey Classic 30.

"Searing Grind"

Gain at 12

Mids at 11

Bass between 1 and 3

Treble between 9 and 11

Reverb at 0

"Rhythym/Twangy Clean"

Gain between 5 and 7

Mids between 5 and 7

Bass at 8 or 9

Treble between 7 and 9

Reverb between 0 and 3

Those are my favorites. Though I do lots of different stuff. I don't use effects.

Hmmm...I just stumbled across this one day, and I've kept with it ever since.

[b]MG100HDFX[/b]
Gain - 10
OD2
Bass - 5
Mid - 10
Treble - 8
Contour (scoops mid-range) - 0

[b]Epiphone Les Paul[/b]
Both pickups, both in parallel, out of phase.

Run it through a [b]Vox V847 Wah[/b], active, pushed all the way down.

Of course, the greatest tone in the world = Eric Johnson.

Oh god... I've got too many things to set the EQ on... I usually like to keep the mids around 7, bass about 8, and treb 6/7. The knobs on the guitars get changed constantly, but usually stay in the 7-10 range.

For me, guitar knobs always stay on 10. The potentiometers really fuck up the tone by cutting parts of the output, making it duller. I prefer to adjust via the amp or some other tone control device.
