Just had it brough home to me yet again how crucial good volume is.
I was jamming away having a great time with Cooper's EoB Delux Verb Normal, and then thrashing out with a thumpin 5153 50W Blue. Both amps I've struggled with my Tele before. So much chug I had to turn the bass down.
Both sounded amaaaaazing! So much grit, punch, warmth, oomp, wapoosh, and all those other keywords.
Then my youngest asked me to turn down because they could hear it from 2 rooms down, even through my in-ears they'd borrowed.
So it turned it down and.... crap. Thin, lifeless, 'digital' sounding even... all the other category of adjectives that pop up to describe a tone. Lost all desire to play.
So if you're stressing that your AxeFX is not sounding as good as you thought it would... seriously, turn it up, then turn it up some more.
