  • haha, common Mr. expert... tune that guitar! haha

  • my treble is at 9, my mid is at 7 and my bass is at 10...sooooooo pretty bad demo

  • Fuck this video, my bass stays on 10 at all times! Heheh :D

  • Your mids are too low bitch!

  • vøll_geìl_lêÙtË_sucht_mål_ñÃch­:_olikohle_aÙf_gôÔglé_vòll_gÊï­l

  • My amp is different ! 

  • I just watch several expert village videos just to laugh......wow!

  • @tnthompson81 i do the same thing its funny haha

  • i've watched like four of these fucking expertvillage videos but i signed on after the first one cause i wanted to leave a comment on how stupid it was and four videos later i still havent left one because my mind has been drained by these retards who keep trying to explain things about amps. this guy is a fricken idiot. he calls himself a "professional guitar technician"? i was a more professional technician when i was in the fucking womb than this guy will ever be.

  • I wait dor a video where somebody explains me the tone knob on a Fender Champ and how i have to use it ..... ;)

  • What the hell??

    Uh set your treble somewhere between 1 and 10, the mid between 1 and 10 and the bass uh lets say somewhere between 1 and 10. There, now you know how to EQ your amp...

  • @Sreewtyui hahahahahah

  • @Guitar1hero23

    I almost forgot, make sure the volume is on 11

  • @Sreewtyui your first comment made my day

  • Comment removed

  • what if i like the mids on 10 and treb+bass on 1??

  • HAHAHAHAHA This guy is smart like a retard

  • @strikingjoe01 if your sound is like Van Halen's then no..

  • These videos are useful. Just do the exact opposite.

  • if expert village made an "How to Have Sex" video...

    "i'm today's expert. i'm an awkward twerp who's never gotten any in my life. i'm gonna teach you to have sex. first, you need to know how to use condoms. now some people like condoms, and others don't. condoms are so you don't get your girl pregenant. now, i'm sure there's more to sex than just that, but i'm not gonna tell you. so, have fun, guys!"

  • welcome to guitar for noobs.. if you dont know how to work an amp you shouldnt be playing -.-

  • and after your done getting your generic sound for your amp, but a tuner.

  • UR EQ IS UR OPINION THERES NO RIGHT AND WRONG maybe i want too muffled or too bright? generally people turn down mids? not at all. maybe for metal and stuff but its just ridiculous how beginners watching these vids are getting miss informed.

  • this vid is USELESS

  • 3) if you like that really warm lead tone, try out those settings (every AMP's eq works differently so experiment a bit) -> keep your BASS low, between 2-3,5, boost your MIDS to about 7-8, set TREBLE to about 2-3 just like the bass. You won't get muddy and you won't get harsh, your leads will sing. Check this setting out. If the power chords are too muddy, boost the treble for rhythm and keep it low again when playing leads. hope that helps - BUT - check whats good for your ears, best advice

  • dude 1) EQ is everyone's own thing, that's where unique tone comes from, thats primo

    2) secundo - guitar is a MID instrument, if you have a good tube amp you'll know one thing - if you scoop mids, it just sounds like crap, imo MIDS should be cranked up to about 80% in scale in order to get that warm tube sound. Your 60% treble would pierce your ears right through, NEVER boost your trebles higher than mids. Santana/Gary moore play with loads of mids and with really low treble (to get that warmth)

  • @bushibayushi Good idea but what if you have a solid state amp with tubes in it like my Roc Pro 1000. Its awesome for mids like you said and I absolutely hate treble but I need it to for clarity a bit. What's the best way to get a good tone.

    Really broad question but you seem like you know what you're talking about. I've had this amp on the same setting and I like it but I want to know how to get the Fender jangle I got when I originally screwed with the settings but messed it up over time :(

  • i have a Laney HCM1208 and i actually have the levers with the hertz.. theres 100, 200, 400, 800, 1k6, and 3k2 hertz. i have no idea what to set these at since i only know about american made amps.  if any of you know how please reply or message me. ps i am using a Gibson Les Paul and am trying for the "Beatles" kind of sound.

  • any musician would know that EQing ALONE is such a vast subjective process in the world of music and indeed, sound, that you can't just make a 1 minute and 52 seconds video and hope to cover it all.

    Any musician with a normal brain would not have agreed to make a video about EQing that can't run AT LEAST 10 minutes.

  • Semi smiley face setting.  You guys are vicious. RRRR. The hardest amp to EQ, but sweet when u get it right, is Mesa BoogieMK1.

  • So how about amps that eq's are pre distortion or in the middle of the gain stages? And how about eq in the loop or parallel loops with graphic eq's that don't work?

  • they should have explained what causes feedbacks and humms and how to eliminate it with the eq.

  • Can anyone help me out.. I have a cheap amp and i want a really good sound or at least some what bearable.. Can anyone tell me what should i put on it. All I have is A over drive button. volume, Treble, middle , bass . thats it. Please help xD I want a good metal sound..

  • @SulfurisTV Let your ears guide you, and may the force be with you my son. And so let it be written, so let it be done.

  • @SulfurisTV treble all the way up bass at the 7 position and middle in the middle.

  • Can anyone help me out.. I have a cheap amp and i want a really good sound or at least some what bearable.. Can anyone tell me what should i put on it. All I have is A over drive button. volume, Treble, middle , bass . thats it. Please help xD

  • Horrible tip video! Sorry for saying, but put bass and take de mid off?" wtf?!

    The bass really come frome the size of the amp, the bigger they are more bass you get, not from a knob, they´re really just to cut! Middle is your true sound, the guitar voice, turn it up, unless you wanna your sound like bees!

    Treble depends on which guitar you want, or amp you have!

  • This is stupid as hell. It depends A: what you are playing music wise. B: what guitar you are playing. C: what volume your guitar is on. Plus, Mids are where the voice lives... why would you set it to 3... ever...

  • I do not use mid... I take my lows and highs to 10. I like a dark evil sound.

  • @Joevit78

    Then you're probably not in a band... :P

  • i have mine set to 4 or 5 but i am playing in my bedroom so i dunno if i was live?

  • this is the most stupid "tutorial" i've ever seen.

  • C'est pas mal sugestif. Y sais pas de quoi il parle.

  • For anyone new to the guitar that might stumble across this video, please know that this video presents a lot of opinion as fact, and that there are neither "correct" nor "incorrect" EQ settings on any guitar amp.

  • ...what a shitty tutorial!

  • maybe tune your guitar. maybe also explain that these settings will be different for every guitar/amp/effect set up

  • my amp is set to 6 on treble, 8 on mid, and 7 on bass on a fender frontman 212 playing through a Gibson sg customized with Seymour Duncan Sh-8b in neck and Sh-13 in bridge (i know they are both bridge, i wanted that)

  • talk about common sense >:P

  • NO SHIT???

  • agreed

  • why the hell would he put the mids so low. my guitar is a peice of shit and it sounds better than this all the time. damn i think i could be a guitar technician for expert village. i mean all you need is a guitar in your hand some catterpillar eyebrows and a douchebag personality right

  • professional guitar technician my ass haha

  • that's not a video about how to get the best guitar tone...it's a video about how people usually set their amp...

  • Wow. You'd think they'd just hard-wire those EQ settings into the amp, instead of letting you mess-up your tone with all those knobs.

  • It's all subjective. everyone hears differently.

  • What?? well, if you want a blues sound, you might boost the mids!! if you want Metal, you might cut the mids?? this video is pointless!! there isn't a proper setting??!! its down to taste

  • can his next video be how to use a tuner please?

  • are you forreal?

    lol

  • it make me remember all the forums where people post questions about how to set their eq... 3 band eq with gain, volume control and you are lost? you are idiot or deaf? sorry its so sad they dont understand...

  • is he damn fixated on that setting?

  • I play metal, so I usually keep my bass and mids up while my trebs are lower. But there are millions of ways to eq your amp. This video sucks

  • yuck i hate mids.LOL

  • hmm i prefer more treble and loads less mid. just my preference though

  • @Aethenthebored why would u run with low treb and high mid while playing metal? I know its down to personal preference but something like 10 bass 3-4 mid 8-9 treb sound much more metal imo.

  • This video could only be surpassed by one on " How to use toilet roll "

  • Why is this guy giving us propaganda about EQing our amps? He doesn't even know how to tune his guitar!

  • The sound also depends on what amp you are using and what equalization you are using on your multieffect pedal board.

    By The way I Use the middle freq between 5 or 6 so the solos will sound way better i dont like using the middle lower than 5

  • this "expert" should try tuning his guitar

  • the possibly the most dumbest instructional video i have ever seen.

  • Hmm.. all of this is common sense...

    "Bass controls the low frequencies"

    NO SHIT!!

    This may be helpful to some people but to me.. this is just dumb

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA these make me laugh.. he didn't explain crap about what they do he just says put this here that there and this maybe here rofl

  • two words...Dumb Ass. set the thing how you like it.

    *hint hint*: keep the bass up high if your going heavy

  • XD hahahaahahahahahahaha.

    egg.

  • this video is hilarious...

  • what a presumptious ass....

    set it how YOU like it.....and yes it was out of tune.....ha ha bad demo's...

  • his guitar isn"t even tuned

  • sounds like shit to me!

  • and please some of you chill out this is a video for beginners obviously, its not saying you have to do anything, its just giving some very basic advice, that happens to be true. but anyway still what does that mean if you dont have those options, on neither your guitar nor you amp, are you just fucked?

  • what happens if you dont have a treble, bass or a middle, you only have a tone knob and a gain knob, along with volume, effects, delay/reverb, and the usual tone settings.doesnt that suck?

  • There's loads of different ways to EQ your amp - this video doesn't show you how to EQ your amp - it just demonstrates your personal taste for EQing,

    IMO you should have explained each knob in more detail then shown several different ways of EQing for comparison.

  • if you turn it up too high its gonna sound too bright, if you turn it up too high its gonna sound too bright, so right in the middle, right at 6,7, or 8

    IDIOT ... LOL :P

  • just take your time and scoop your amp out ... and find a suitable sound ...

  • Can't stand that accent!

  • what does the middle do? didn't really get it =/

  • turns sound to mud

  • wow brilliant vid

  • i think this: play the guitar on the E A, and select your bass, play on the D G and select the middle, play the B E and select the highs. i start it with all tone to 0.

  • which e?

  • E A = the bass, B E = the high

  • The E next to the B is the high e string while the E next to the A is the low e string EADGBe low to high

  • hahaha, that's not how it works. hahaha.

  • This lille prick's amp only goes to 10. Mine goes to Eleven.

  • hahahah "well couldnt you just make 10 louder? ..well mine goes to 11...11 is louder then 10

  • I don't like his EQ settings. Really, it's a matter of taste. If you think the sound is shrill, turn down the treble and turn up the bass. If the sound is too bassy, then do the reverse. Then adjust the midrange how you like it. Personally, I like a slightly cut treble and slightly boosted bass for a warmer sound and a boost in the mids for a more lively crunch.

    Treble-3, Mid-8, Bass-7

  • Your setting depends on your amp man. Why are you posting this?

  • true your settings depend on a lot of things. just about everything affects the final sound. I was just saying how I like my settings in general circumstances.

  • Tim, you are a tool

  • thats balls... turning ur mids down cuts volume and true tone, tool

  • are these guys for real

  • pure shit

  • you should never cut the mid range !

    you should boost it actually.

    best eq is actually flat, but if u want to change anything, boost the mids, and do not cut ou boost bass or treble .

  • depends on your style

  • that's bullshit. there isn't a wide variety of sounds . there are good and bad tones . there isn't a good tone for rock, metal, ou whatever .

  • of course there is,

    otherwise it would be useless for a deejay to have an equalizer panel for example.

    There are indeed good and bad tones,

    but still, you have settings more suitable for a specific style than an other.

    For example, lowering your mids works out pretty wel for blues

  • well, i agree in some points .

    but i think we should have a nice tone, smth that works when you play with your band ..

  • Uhhh, unecessary...

  • every amp sounds different... start with all 3 in the middle, play and adjust to your liking.

  • this guy is TERRIBLE......i wish i had two more hands so i could give this video 4 thumbs down

  • melonheed3, sounds like your a dave chapelle fan. lol 'four thumbs down' lol

  • haha pro tech my ass can't even tune his guitar. what a funny guy.

  • this is stupid..

  • another waste

  • are you trying to get your love to ask you out? aww sadddo.

    GTFO this video plz.

  • NOOOO u needs to roll ieverything up all way up to make it sound ossim!!!!!!!1.

  • it doesent deserve a star

  • Is that seriously a pro technician?! In that case where do I sign up? Everyone's EQ cant be set the same! Every time you move your amp to a different room you have to readjust your EQ settings to compliment the room better! Whenever you switch guitars too. Everyone has different taste in a desired tone, don't listen to this "expert", if you like your guitar to sound bassy go for it! ex .Cold War Kids guitarist has a really good bassy sound on his guitar!

  • dude none of these videos really have experts.. they have expierenced beginners.. just like the fuckers that made Emo and called it fucking music.. they know a little but not alot

  • you could not be more right

  • Expert village:FUCK YOU!

  • horrible

  • no way on my amp i turn the high up all the way and the low all the way down.

    there's no such thing as too bright!

  • Hi, set all of your eq nobs to 12! Thank you. I'm a fucktard "PRO AMP TECH" who can't tune a guitar.

    Expert Village is a joke.

    Fuck Keller Music!

  • umm dude.. hes using a tremolo pedal to make that effect.. its not out of tune.. Im sure even an "expert" like him wouldnt think that bad of a wave meant it was in tune.. so calm down

  • actually ...his guitar is out of tune....tremolo or not i can hear it. it's also tuned down like a whole step....pretty sure the guy wasnt talking about the volume swells genius.

  • more like noob village

  • Wow, what a noob.

  • what do you think this is rock band? go look somewhere else for better information

  • expert my ass

  • it's true

  • Fuck you too bright haha

  • haha seriously

  • too bright shinning out my ass

  • this is bullshit! there is no RIGHT eq setting on any amp. its all relative to the guitarist. there are so many different sound that these 3 knobs can do its amazing. to say that you should put treble at x and bass at y is not only wrong but stupid. it all depends on what kind of sound you are after.

  • Hey guys...emm...Im a bass player, and I was wondering if anybody here knows about any videos like this for bass amps, I´ve been playing for a while now but for reasons out of my control now I only have a little-old-shitty amp for my bass, and I would like to get the best tone possible of it...thanks a lot!

    BTW...The video is great!

  • you could buy a nice 100 pedal....or possibly a POG (but POGs are like 300 bucks) head over to electro harmonix's website..they got good stuff. But really dude ya gotta play with the setting, every amp is differnt

  • The treble numbers only vaguely corresponded to the number of highs in my sound. On one occasion, the treble was set at 8, but only 2 highs were present. Is it possible that other highs migrated over to the reverb channel and were consequently flung away?

  • Excellent. Well played, sir. I would suggest pulling said knob off, looking inside, and counting the number of highs that you find hanging out in there. If need be, ask them if they've seen the others around.

  • What about contour like on marshalls?

  • Do you know what contour is? If not it's well on my amp its how thick the sound is. So for like Rock with the strong chords and smooth leads and all that you would have it turned up, and turning it down will give you a thin sound which I heard is more for metal. But I play metal and I prefer it turned up but thats just me I guess.

  • I know what contour is, I've got it, I was just saying that he doesn't mention it. But turning it all the way up makes it heavier, turning it down is for thrash metal

  • Thanks...

  • this guys a fucking yokel, guitar technician my fucking arse

  • fag...

  • I didn't relize everyone has the same amp. The dude tell you to set the tone by the numbers on the dial instead of saying like 75% or something.

  • Dude, the numbers are from 1 to 10

  • wtf "the numbers are from 1 to 10" read my fucking comment. I said not everyone has the same amp. and not everyones amp is from one to ten.

  • I have read your comment and I understand you can't calculate. The numbers are from 1 to 10 which means that you need to put it to 7.5 to get 75% you dumb fuck.

  • okay retard some people don't have numbers on the dials of their amp fuck face. that's what I said to begin with, but you're stupid as fuck, so why would you understand that.

  • IDIOT

    HE has numbers from 1 to 10 so who fucking cares if your shitty amp doesn't have numbers. If you don't understand that 6 on his amp means 60% on your amp then you should shoot yourself or something. Don't call me a retard if you can't fucking calculate

  • lmao I still can't believe you don't understand my first comment. so let me repeat myself. the guy is telling everyone to how to set the amp as if we all have the same amp. it has nothing to do with calculating. and for you to say a amp without numbers is shitty, you have a lot to learn about gear. numbers on a dial have no effect how good the amp is. i'm an ace in algebra so don't think your smart saying that 6 is 60%. i knew that from the start. I said they guy didn't consider every amp is dif

  • I clearly get what that other guy doesn't in your first comment.

  • Thanks dude so much. Thumbs up

  • "da treble controls the highs, the middle controls the mids, the bass controls the lows" Oh man i'm so glad i watched this, with out an expert to explain this to me i'd have no idea what to do!!!

    fucking moronic expert village.

  • what is wrong with his head and neck like a bird or some sort of no neck thing

  • ummm....is there something wrong with using your ears? I mean really come on! Just tweak em to what sounds good and of course the minute you leave one room and go to another or use a different guitar or a million other variables everything changes.

  • Wait, no sound's coming out, how to I turn it on. What's a guitar?

  • did you plug it in? if you dont know how to you need to watch a tutorial from an 'expert' from expert village

  • Yea, they said what a plug was, but they didn't really explain how to use it. Deja vu.

  • what the fuck is this shit? how can you tell someone what eq settings you "should" use. every player has a different tone its called diversity you fuckin noob.

  • he really has no idea what hes talkin about....fucking knob

  • ha! you said (k)nob

  • ha!

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oob

    (newbie)

  • expert my ass, all amp manufacturers are different meaning the treble/mid/bass settings are going to be different on Marshall than they are on a Fender

  • this guy is such a fucking joke. he doesnt know shit about anything in any of his videos and all his videos are basically common sense except for the tube videos but he fucked them up saying all preamp tubes sound the same and that u cant swap power tubes without wire mods. im fucking 17 and i know more shit than his faggot why hasnt he been fired yet.
