titchyblackcat 21 Posted April 25, 2016 I'm trying to get a natural sound of my Strat' by not having an amp selected but wondered if i were to use an amp to get more parameters involved which one would it be ? I'm trying a Blackface at the minute with out a cab to get more volume. Just wondered if anyone else had any ideas for a clean sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radatats 921 Posted April 25, 2016 The JC-120 is known to be a super clean model. Won't distort as you turn it up, probably a good choice... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just your guitar with no coloration? With my Variax I don't use an AMP at all when using the Acoustic setting or using my mag pickups for uncolored clean sounds. All I wanted was an uncolored signal and the thing that bugged me was all I needed was a little volume and I was good (Just like you). I tried the Vintage Pre effect (you might want to try it) without an amp but I ultimately started to use the mixer to get me the uncolored volume. I also pan everything center and then raise the mixer level to the correct volume. Don't be afraid to use the mixer volume sliders. Hope this helps.

titchyblackcat 21 Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks guys. They're great ideas I'll try them over the next week. (A bit limited on getting time to play). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
