Hi guys.
Lately I've been practicing on many different guitars, and am having some challenges with my go-to presets. Where a marshal preset sounds awesome on Les Paul, it becomes thin and way less distorted (not that I am using very much diistortion to begin with) when I plug in my Strat. And when I lug in my ESP, it goes completely bananas, with way too much gain, and all the dynamics dissappear.
I like the idea of using all guitars on the same preset, the same way as if I had only one "real" amp. I was thinking of either assigning an expression pedal to the input gain of the amp, or using a vol block at the very beginning of the chain, to even out the difference in levels(-isch).
I know there are many ways to go (some also advise a different amp mod/preset for each guitar), but I would like to know what you guys do. My four "main" guitars are an S7 Les Paul, two strats (a '57 CS and a '97 standard) that are very different in sound (and output), and a Kramer Striker (weird mix I know, but it works).
