Revvaloon Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Using a 4-way Tele and am trying to do away with the Distortion and Teemah pedals in my Helix chain by using the Placater Dirty amp and finally came up with the setup below. Is it 'normal' that the bass and mids are cranked all the way down? Wondering if I should just go back to using a distortion pedal back instead?

themetallikid Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I dont know my settings, but I typically have the bass pretty low on this one. I like the additional switch options in the lower settings and will turn those on and then increase the bass as needed to get where I need. I like a lot of mids in my tone, so those usually end up around 7-8, but varies by the song/tone I'm going for. Sometimes I may keep the mids higher to 'send' the larger signal through the chain, but then use a parametric EQ to cut what I dont like about the mid frequencies the amp is fully sending. If that makes sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpointmetal Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 What are you plugging it in to? If it sounds good, it is good. That being said, I can't imagine how something with no mids sounds like anything other than scratchy noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
