dave_wark Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I play rhythm guitar in a Grateful Dead cover band and I have struggled to find a good tone. I am playing a Bob Weir signature D'Angelico solid body through a flat-response speaker and have the HK Stomp for tone modelling. I want a clean, bright, full, mid-heavy tone that will cut through the band without stepping on the bass or lead. I have tried many of the presets and I haven't found any that I felt really worked. Many of them sound fine for playing individual notes, but we have no keyboard player in our band so I spend a lot of time playing chords, and when you play a chord the tones I have tried get muddy and twangy. I have found that for a lot of the presets - they work well for single notes but sound much less convincing for chords. Does anybody have a preset to suggest for me to work from, or any general advice on how to get a clean, bright tone for chords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulTBaker Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 have you tried the new Super Vibrato Amp with the Amppeg 1x15 cabinet? That gives me a very full clean rhythm. I also use the mic that is the 2nd to the last in the list. (Sorry, can't remember the name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
