Just wondering what everyone's favorite amps are for this purpose. I tend to play a lot of stuff that's not the solid 'power chord' - lots of minor 7 type chords, lots of major 2nds.. just not a lot of the typical root + 5th. Typically these are a little higher on the fretboard/strings, so on higher gain amps (A 5150, for example, gain not cranked but up there for sure) tend to not sound great on these chords. A lot of times my desire for 'attack' or 'twang' causes me to push up the treble/presence, or the bright/definition - just less 'low end' going into the amps in general, I guess.. but then the clarity of those complex chords goes away. Without those boosts in the high end, it tends to sound muddy and I don't get the attack I want.
So - what are your favorite amps that handle this well without turning into a muddy mess? Or maybe it's not an amp - maybe an EQ or a drive or something else? What do you all like for this? Maybe this should just sound great on most amps already, and my pickups suck? What do you all think?
Cheers
