Just wondering what your method is for tweaking. Do you select a couple of amp cab combinations that work for you or do you try to dial in every song exact? I recently was asked to replace a guy in a cover band and have been working on this 40+ batch of songs that I need ready in less than a month. My personal practice arrangement is me at home with headphones. Im playing live with a Matrix 1000 and two Xitone cabs. The other guitarist which plays most of the leads uses a Blackstar head into a peavy 4x12 with a few pedals So I’m kind of in a jam as far as making every song match the CD tone. This band as most do their own take on songs with the gear they have. My part will naturally be covering all the FX stuff. We had our first practice this past weekend and my tone and volume was all over the place. It would be great if we could practice 5 days a week but we only have two more before I have to play my first show. An other issue I have is the range of songs from Zeppelin to Godsmack to Three non blondes to Rage against the machine. However lead guitar guy, one tone all night. I’m a stickler for nailing tone and FX hence buying an Axe FX. So I’m wondering what to do to fit in with this band tone wise as far as EQ Amp and Cab mix. Oh and then there is the Enhancer block which is a subject all on its own. End note: I have a small PA and warehouse I can use in between to do some tweaking on volume and overall tone for my Matrix-Xitone setup against the cd version of the songs.
