David's Tip of the Day: Cutting Through on Stage

Posted Thu, 06/25/2015 - 07:39 by David Barrett Admin

Once you've dialed in your amp to sound great for performance, turn the treble and mid up half a number. The tone we prefer is often too bassy and lacks the cut needed to be heard in performance. By bringing your treble and mid up half a number it provides a boost in the frequencies that make our sound more intelligible without sacrificing too much of the bassy tone we dig.
