Yes -- Snoop, I would suggest you turn the input trim down to maybe 0.5 and see how you like that, and to turn OFF the PEQ block in front of the amp off - it's not needed with humbuckers, as they put out mids.
Then tinker with B/M/Treble to get the last mile based on your guitar and its pickups. Let us know how that worked for you, and what else you might do to make it work in a way you like!
Hi Austin, I spend some time to play your preset and tweaked it a bit. Learned a lot during the process:
- for some reason I thought, I had already Q8.02 on my axe. When trying to load your preset, I discovered I was still on 7.02. The update alone brought quite a change to the positive (across all presets) ;-)
- from past experiments, I remembered that I liked the Skyliner dark better than the Skyliner. So I throwed that in without even trying the Skyliner. Big mistake - with the Humbuckers the dark is ... well.... too dark
- Lowered input trim and left gain and master volume as suggested. Again - big improvement
- Took out the PreEQ as suggested. Indeed, better like this
- Experimented with a drive block and found the FET to fit in nicely. Set gain to "0" and tone to 7.5. That make a huge improvement.
- Experimented with the compressor, but did not come to a final verdict yet . Further research needed.
Overall, I like what I'm hearing so far quite a lot, but still need to work on this to be totally happy. One thing to consider though is, that (indeed) the preset benefits a lot from being played loud. This I couldn't do at home. just played at bedroom level, which doesn' t help.
Thanks for inspiring me to work on this preset. Without your thread, I would never have started with a bass amp, and would not have experimented with the tonestack.
Cheers - Snoop
