Omg! I understand my amp so much more now! Still not sure about my preamp lol. You gave me so much very helpful info. I just inherited my brother's electric epiphone. I only played acoustic before. I never plugged in He wanted to give me some lessons. The guy was a live sound engineer! He was just in a different city than me. I will be watching this again & checking out more of your info. Thank you so much 🤘💙🎵💙

If you have a valve state non tube amp that has great sound on rhythm/chords but the lead guitar sounds thin than I suggest an Ibanez tube screamer pre amp pedal All you have to do is step on it and your lead guitar has a more tube amp sound... More warm and it will boost your volume when you take your lead! My fender twin champion needs one! My next purchase...

I’ve had my Boss Katana 100 for nearly 18 months and I must admit I haven’t actually made the effort to find the sweet spot. I tend to dial in as I go. I’ll have a play round with it later

I got the Katana Artist mkII and I am completely baffled by the sheer configuration combinations. The Boss Tone Studio really helped me. I installed some community based patches and tweaked them. I asked my wife and kid to run some errands for the afternoon and I cranked it. My house rattled off the foundation!

The Fender Mustang GT200 that I recently purchased surprised me by not only outdoing the Katana I used as my primary amp at home in the range of effect options and vintage amplifiers plus cabinets but also having an all around better sounding speaker and tone overall. The Katana is the shit but I'm extremely impressed by Fender's constant updates that improve the amp every time they release a software patch.

I liked how all control settings are demonstrated with successive detail, and with comparisons that use evenly played and similar riffs so you can definitely hear exactly what the controls do. I especially liked how the presenter didn't use this video as a vehicle to show off how awesomely they can shred, although it's clear that they're an excellent guitar player.

Gain is how much you are amplifying a signal....volume is the amount of energy one puts out.think of it in this way.you are controlling a river by a dam and a gate.increasing gain will increase the wave heights.increasing volume will open the gate and thereby let more water to flow without changing wave height

Excellent tutorial on how to adjust different frequencies!!! Exactly what I do with any sound frequency/knob/equalization! Except, I'd recommend starting with all knobs at 0 (except volume, somewhat low). Then gradually increase each. This way you hear each frequency/part better how it sounds by itself.

Seeing the inside of the amp is kindof cool. When I bought my guitar they only had orange amps at the shop so i just got one of those. It isn't a bad practice amp. I notice the gain is almost like it has four different levels rather than a meter that just goes up gradually. *edit* oh it is called a sweet spot. Good to know the name for it.

you scooped the mids on the amp head and you use a simple 6-band EQ to make more weeks, and there's ways to boost the signal and still get the chainsaw-sounding tone Dime had. Dime had the best tone and he was all about scooping mids. I cant get a metal tone that's pleasing to my ear leaving midrange involved. Expect lots of unwanted noise but that's also why they have noise gates, or silencers.

My first amp was a Fender Mustang II. I traded it because it was so complicated that I couldn't get it to sound good. Second amp was a Frontman 10 that u regret owning. Third and current amp is a Mustang 1 that ive had the foresight to download the manual for. It sounds alright in the 65' twin reverb setting. I factory reset it to remove any shenanigans from the previous owner. It breaks down early in any other setting though, so while i sit here at the Waffle House I think that maybe I should figure out if the tone knob on my guitar may help with that. My guitar is the Inverness Green Worn SG with p90s. And a brown suede strap because im stylish af. Got it with an ernie ball volume pedal for $200
