I am a praise and worship guitarist and occasionally I play electric. I am having trouble achieving the fat, warm, smooth truly clean tone that I hear on the various videos that I am watching. When I am working on designing tones, I listen through headphones. In use at church, we go direct from the line out. I listen through the personal monitoring system. My axe is a Mike Kelley with humbucking pickups. It sounded great through the small Vox amp at the store. Lastly, I have downloaded a few patches designed for praise and worship and they have also fallen short in this regard. I keep tweaking them to make them better to my ears.
What I want is a truly clean fat tone that sustains with little to no breakup in the tone. I am not having trouble finding the delay and reverb that I want. I have tried so many combinations of amps and cabinets. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
