30sos Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hi, all. Just got my Amplifi 75 and I'm wondering if anyone else thinks the high gain patches don't pack a lot of punch...? I've been using L6 stuff since the bean and have always had to turn the gain down, but with this thing it feels like I can't get a good heavy crunch or sustain even with the gain at 10. Am I alone on this? Is it possible I got a lemon (it was a factory refurb)? Any suggestions on patches I should try to test it out? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

lejonbrames Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Are there any effects turned on before the amp sucking the gain out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavidboyd Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 and what amplifier model are you using. Some of them have a huge amount of gain. I can get such great feedback and sustain out of my 150. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob9874 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I just starting tinkering with my FX100 for the first time last night. I was with you, thought the gain was lacking. But here's what I did, and love it now! I found good tones by tweaking the Master of Puppets and Still of the Night tones. With both, using my iOS app, I set the gain on the amp setting to 75%, and used the Tube Screamer stomp box. (Tube Screamer settings didn't make much of a difference. As long as it was on.) Then tweak the EQ. Gotta boost the high frequencies to get that gain bite. That's where I'm struggling now. I'm real close to tones I like, but need to figure out which frequencies to boost/cut, and by how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
