Hi, our band uses me on Gibson firebird through marshall tsl with 4x12 and our lead guitarist on fender strat with vox 2x12& fender twin paired up. Our music is indie/rock example at allsharppoints.net
Our problem is that now we are thinking about developing our songs etc our tone can be hit and miss. Sometimes my marshall rhythm is awesome and driving the song on, others the lead cant be heard then i cant be heard when trying to compensate. We seems to be going down the road of more volume when wanting to be heard which i know is a deadly mistake as it drowns vocals and messes up the mix etc.
I have read and have limited understanding about using the mids of the eq to get the right tone. Does anybody have a simple process or step by step guild that i can chat to the band with about sorting out our tone so that the volume stays at one level? Maybe suggested general rhythm and lead eq settings but still allowing the rhythm to crank at the right moment.
Lead uses boss od orange and i use boss turbo od and tube screamer but these can be changed. I preferred the tsl tone but that was a nightmare using effects etc after the preamp then getting latency when changing from clean to od blah blah.
Is it a case of finding our nice general tones and then using mid boost mid cuts at the right moments?
Thanks in advance guys.
