Hi all,
I play in an 80's hair/glam metal tribute band we play stuff from Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi etc, i bought TopJimi's EVH profiles as i watched the video and they sounded amazing! But recently i have had a few comments from the other guitarist in my band saying my amp sounds too boomy and is almost just competing with the bass, and although i agree its a very low end punchy sound that sounds great when i am playing on my own at home but i don't know if it sits well in the band mix.
For some context i haven't been a "gigging" guitarist for long as i am primarily a drummer, but i have been playing guitar for 13 years now some by no means a noob!
so i'm asking two questions here:
1. How much low end do you go for in your own setup?
2. Is it just the gear i am using that is creating these low frequencies that the other guitarist is talking about?
Im running my unpowered KPA in to a line 6 FH 1500 using a W/D/W setup with the 6 speakers in the line 6 and i have the global EQ on the line 6 turned off.
the only thing in my signal chain that has any influence on the sound of the guitar is a horizon devices precision drive which is just used to tighten the low end.
