Members riffy Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I don't agree. Low gain, and high mids are overdone.I want slightly scooped buzzsaw guitars that don't steal the hi-hats and vocals freqs. Guitar cutting pristine through the mix has made everything sound honky and too in your face processed.

I am with this guy for a change... I hate the mids way up on my amps. They sound FAR too honky. I never have any trouble being heard in a mix with any type of band I play in. Mids here are FAR over rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaceU4her Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 i havent seen to many big name bands that dont take a little mids out. bass and treble at about 2 oclock and mids around 10-11 oclock and gain to taste seems to be the industry standard.

Members riffy Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 You wouldn't last long in one of my bands.There is no I in team. We beat the crap out of the egomaniacs. Hey smart guy, you are correct, there is no I in team.But if you decide you wanna look closely, there is a ME in team. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Welladjusted Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Anyone who kills their mids (dipping them is fine) and dimes their gain loses their right to complain about sound engineers. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sex Panther Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I love lots of mids. But it fits for my music. Obviously if I was in a metal band, mids on 8 wouldn't be the best tonal option available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Peaveys have a huge amount of mids in their core tone, there is no need to boost mids on a Peavey. Most other amps will benefit from it though. Exactly! A lot of it depends on the amp, too. Different amps tend to come predisposed toward different frequencies than others, and need to be EQed accordingly. For my personal taste, I haven't found too many amps that sound particularly good to me with the bass, mids, treble or presence set at either extreme, with a few exceptions, such as the very high-oriented clean channel on my Tone-Master.

Members hecticone Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 That sounds more like the setting on the fuzz and not the eq of the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spawnofthesith Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I used to be a "OMG midz at 0 is teh Br00tz!!!1!" but now on my 5150 II I keep mids at about 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Curtis.Fagan Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 See, I'm a little more on the blanced mids end of things.... On my VH100R with EL34's (gonna be a LOT of mids with this setup,) I have Bass around 11.5oclock, Mids at 12.5oclock and Trebs at 11oclock, Presence just shy of 10oclock. I play a guitar with 60g-10g strings and an EMG81 in the bridge, so it's got a lot of thunk. My 412 is also huge, so I get a lot of beef naturally.... When I play a lead, my green channel with the "drive" about 3oclock and boost out front, I have Bass at 3oclock, Trebles at 10oclock, and Mids at 12.5oclock, and the "tone" drooped to bring lower mids, lots of volume boost and a little grit. Makes for sizzling leads with clarity and thunk. I think it really comes down to the "whole rig" argument here for me. As well as in a band setting, I want to cut through when playing leads, but I want to meld and bring out the true band sound as a whole when doing everything else. By the way, my gain is 2oclock and my drive is at 3.5oclock. Clarity, sizzle, thunk and not honky at all.... -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah I wasn't necessarily talking about mids on 10.. but if you set the gain and bass to 10 and the mids to 3 you will have problems... I just played a little through my amp at the same settings we had last night and by itself it did not sound too good, but with the band last night it was different settings for different situations...
