talonmm Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Being 48 years old, and having a demanding career (non musical) and two kids, it's not easy to find time to deal witht many amplifi issues and mysteries. I really wish there was a manual, as I seem to waste a lot of time with issues. When I hook up music with blue tooth, the amp sounds great so I don't believe my speakers are blown. However, most of the bass sound on the distortion tones I create have a "big muff pi" like-fuzziness to them. The sound fuzziness improves when I reduce the bass on the amp and also in my editing, however, when doing that creates an unnaceptable, very treble-sounding sound. I notice the low "E" and "A" strings often sound way to fuzzy on almost all of my distortion tones. My line 6 HD500 produces beautiful sounds across the whole guitar range. Anyone have any ideas or solutions to this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Wha tamps models/stomps are you using for distortion. Watch the gain on the amp models and/or any stomps. For a warming distortion try the tube drive in front of the amp block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pob41 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Lots of pros use drive pedals with amps to resolve this problem. The tube screamer with the drive set low is a popular choice but in actual fact what the pedal is doing is also reducing the bass content in the guitar signal. Try this, add the eq boost pedal in front of the amp, reduce the bass content until the fuzziness in the bass notes cleans up. Add the bass back into the tone post the amp with the parametric eq.
