jamie-t Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to post this here but this is my guitar forum of choice. You guys all seem to bit a but more mature and knowledgable than the average guitar forum. I'm trying to get a nice smooth over driven sound without the distortion that usually comes with it. My setup goes LP special (P90s) -> TU-2 -> Jekyll & Hyde OD -> Boss EQ ->Vox AC30CC2 Normal Channel. The Vox settings I use are as follows: Master - Almost full, seems to add the creaminess. Tone Cut - Not much, I like the treble. Bass - Less than half, probably about 1/4 Treble - About 3/4 Reverb - Just a touch Normal Channel Volume - About 1/4 usually, I control the volume with this one. Brilliance switch is on. Jekyll and Hyde settings are as follows: Drive - Usually just a bit, around 1/4 Tone - A little over half, I fine cutting it makes my sound too... Bluesy/Rocky for what I play. Volume - About half, I find turning it up just adds distortion and turning it down makes me quieter. I don't touch the distortion side much. EQ pedal I just use as a boost really. So basically I want that lushness that overdrive gets without as much distortion as I seem to be getting now. There's a few bands/guitarists that replicate this but I can't think of any good examples other than The Kooks, The Strokes and sometimes The Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things. Actually The View has it on a few songs too. I'm fairly certain I can do it without adding any pedals or effects since the bands I mentioned don't use a whole lot other than overdrives/volume pedals and such. Thanks for any input.
