Hi All,
I play in a casual cover band trio. (bass/drums/guitar). We play things like Tom Petty (Kings Highway, Mary Jane's Last Dance), Traveling Wilburys (Handle with Care), Jim Croce (Don't mess with Jim), Warren Zevon (Dirty Life and Times), Atlanta Rhythm Section (Spooky).
I use an FM3 and Redsound MF10 with a custom guitar that has mid-output humbuckers. I'm using Austin Buddy's Live Gold presets. @austinbuddy I'm looking for suggestions on filling out my guitar sound in the sparseness of a trio with these sorts of songs. I'm not concerned with guitar tones that match any recordings, rather just sounds that fill a room while still fitting the style. (Most songs are a lot pretty clean "strummy"parts.)
The presets in Live Gold that I've tried all sound great at home, but once I'm with the band my guitar sounds pretty thin unless I use a much more distortion heavy preset. But if I do that it doesn't fit the song. (When we do heavier things like Cinnamon Girl or ZZ Top there are Live Gold presets that are perfect with no tweaks.)
1. Can Live Gold users point me to presets that you've had success with on those sorts of "strummy" songs. (I'm wondering if I just don't have a good sense of the appropriate amount of gain I should be using.)
2. Are there general adjustments I should be adjusting to fill out for a trio? (reverb, delay, chorus, more? less?)
Thanks!
