Fantastic.....everything! Really a great video! Also, I 100% agree with your comment about turning the amp a bit so that it's not directly facing you! You= smart! : P
And I leave the bottom boost off. I also find that if you turn your amp so it is not directly facing you it sounds a bit smoother coming off of the walls.
@RandyRhoads88 im using an ibanez xiphos with EMG kerry king pickups, i also have a metalzone pedal and i just dialed in your settings on the clean channel and lowerd the bass and the presence to 0 with the treble on the pedel higher, i can now get that grain on the bridge pickup but that nice smooth necrophagist sweep picking tone that i wanted. Thank you? Btw do you know the band necrophagist, if so, thats the tone im going for
The problem with Necrophagist's studio tone is that you cannot cut through for shit if you play with a band. For smoother leads just turn the bass up or the treble/presence down. The more muffled your tone gets, the smoother it will get. This amp works in mysterious ways.
thank u, i tried that and im still getting that terrible grain on all the notes even with no presence and a good amount of treble it still cuts thru, if you could send me all of your readings on the knobs that would really help me. By the way sorry that i didnt get back to you quickly.

What kind of guitar/pickups are you using?
My settings look like this
Gain - 2 o clock
Bass - 1 o clock
Mid (focused) - 12 o clock
Treble - 11 o clock
Presence - halfway between 11 and 12 o clock
Depth punch - 10 o clock
And I leave the bottom boost off. I also find that if you turn your amp so it is not directly facing you it sounds a bit smoother coming off of the walls.

Necrophagist does rule though

how do i get a smoother lead sound that doesnt sound grainy on the high notes?

Don't overdo the gain, treble, or presence. Also try using the focused mids for leads.
