What do the terms ‘chime’ or ‘sparkle’ mean to you in regards to tonal characteristics?
To me, it means string to string clarity and definition with guitar wide open and volume rolled down and balanced across the lows and highs. Lastly a little bit of that pick attack in there but not like a metal pick or floppy pick tone.
I’m trying to get a little more “chime” out of my presets across the board. Today I discovered that the treble knob isn’t as aggressive as Ive found real amps are which is nice. I was running treble on the dirty Shirley at like 8 and the clarity was nice but it’s still lacking some “presence” perhaps.
Well I turn the presence up to about 2-3 but I’ve never liked or really noticed or understood what presence did on real amps so but I noticed a slightly harsher high end.
what are some other approaches to get more “sparkle” or “chime” to a tone.
