Members Dimes Bag Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 How come everyone keeps their volume at 2-4? Is that band situations? Cause I find eq-ing way different alone than band situations. I keep my volume up to 5-7, struggling with my band's volume. But, I do use a 1x15 though...is that the issue here? I do wanna get a 4x12 soon though, even though my back says no. Looking at vader, vht, framus, splawn, marshall, mesa, etc. just anything that heavy enough for metal/hardcore.

HAHHAAHH!!!!!!!!!!! But yeah, man you should never have to go past 3-4 on your volume in a band situation. I cant even imagine that wow. Honeslty, just buy a cheap 4x12 for now, cause your going to damager your head that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members joeyinflames Posted April 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 update: lead Pre Gain - 8Low - 7Middle - 4High - 6Post Gain - 2Resonance - 4Presence - 7 god i want to start a hardcore band SOON. that tone defines hardcore! with the sg tuned to drop Bb, its awesome - but with my v (emgs) in the same tuning, its a bit nicer saturation, but sounds a tid more processed. we will see what i want to do. how much different will an ltd viper 1000 sound in the same tuning, than my sg? regardless, my sg NEED sperzel tuners, cuz these gibsons blow. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
