Just bought a alchemist head, it sounds great clean, but kinda crap on the mercury channel, very fizzy/fuzzy, gets even worse when the mid and treable are below 12 noon on the amp, is this normal? or do i have a bad one?
I am amzed at how everyone says "Tone is in your fingers" While attack and style certainly affect tone Sodoes EVERYTHING ELSE. Speakers, tubes, strings picks cables etc Everythng affects tone. Ok rant complete I feel better.
@BATHUMAN no its not!!!!!!!!!!!! thats bullcrap! style and ur message and teqnique come from fingers; but me through a squire and a fender frontman and I will not sound nearly as good as a 69 strat through say any high end amp! certain tone things come from fingers though like vibrato but any player that has any ear will tell you; I have chatted with people like bogner and paul reed smith and santana and they all say the same thing im telling you. You cant disagree with carlos santana retard.
@jacktheguitarman Well, Bogner and PRS have influenced statements, in the way that they are trying to sell their product. They couldn't really sell their high priced gear if they were recommending Squire and Fender would they? As for Santana, which is a great guitarplayer, he would probably make any amp and guitar sound good, but like so many others he has found a combination that he likes, and that works for him. It may not be 90/10, but the majority of the sound comes from the fingers.
@AndyTrenton in order for a guitar player to have confidence in their playing and play to the fullest they need gear to shine though; for intance some people may think it sounds good playing a shitty amp but i will not be happy
@jacktheguitarman That's exactly what I'm getting at, it's indeed very individual and personal what sounds good :) And yeah, having quality gear helps ;)
Indeed. With engl screamer they are the best around for under 1000euros (thomann prices). I think the egnater rebel 30 is that good too but i haven't done any serious research for that one
I went backstage at a jackson browne conert, and met jackson and this guy. it was great. They were both awesome. This guy blows me away with his tele work. I have a telecaster my self his so good and influencing. Rock on mark!
@slimhotknave uhm i have a tele myself, and I tune it once, go through it again, keep it in the same tuning and it just stays. Its a great guitar if you get a real fender tele. I couldnt tell you about squire teles though sorry!
So you think a good guitar player can make a Marshall MS-2 sound like a Marshall 1959SLP?
I dont.. but i do believe a bad guitar player can make a 1959SLP sound like a Marshall MS-2.
I would say that the guitar it self is the least important part in the chain.. sure, a shit guitar is a shit guitar, but having a bad guitar and a good amp is better then having a good guitar and a bad amp.
Just got the 1x12 combo today. Played it for a good 4 hours or so and love it! So versatile, the cleans are very "fender" like and the Mercury channel sounds close to a plexi or an AC-30 when dialed just right.

The tone comes from the fingers nothing to do with amp or guitar its a fact

@BATHUMAN Word! I think it was Peter Framton that said great tone is 10% guitar and amp, 90% your fingers.

He's probably improvising, KingMitsubishi. Even if you transcribed his playing, it's besides the point.
I fail to see how the Jewishness makes a difference.

Wow. great guitar player indeed. Clean tone is a too mushy for my tastes..
But who cares when someone plays with such a sweet touch & mega musciality..
If it's that mushy with a Tele, imagine what would it sound like with a Gibby ....
That amp ain't for me, but Mark certainly has a new fan ...

A good guitarist does not make a bad amp sound good, but a bad guitarist will make a good amp sound bad.

But a medium-ish amp played by a great player will sound very good.
