    Hi Gain tones overly Dark Muffled

    Use the MV pf dial. I have similar ears....a _lot_ of them sound great but dark, way cool to play on your own...wouldn't cut in a mix.....fear not, and whatever you do, don't touch b/m/t or presence or depth. Just Dial up the master volume cap value. It's generally pretty low, so don't be...

    Did you sell your "REAL" rig in favor of the Axe?

    Honestly, the archon never got me to my destination, It was close but I had to roll off volume on guitar to get the tightness I wanted in the heavies, which of course also means you take a hit in the heavies. I did however find a setup using the Ax that delivered in spades all the heavies and...

    Depends on your hands and where your playing. You can significantly darken them in 2 or 3 songs.....kill em dead in one 30-45 min set. At home (all but 1 floyd) I change strings every few weeks...in the studio or on the road, as often as I have to.
