I realise that so many guitarists have their own idea of a great tone. I have a Line 6 Flextone three amp, and I use a Line 6 Pod XT Live effects board. I generally find that when I set a tone at home at what can be called bedroon volume (as their are neighbours to consider) can sound totally different when playing with a band at louder volume. I would be interested to hear any Idea's or suggestions. Many Thanks Mick You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

One big thing to take into consideration should be the wattage of your amp. Distortion tone (particularly) depends on how close you are to your amps maximum volume, on my cube 30x it sounds more crunchy and in your face at higher volumces. In a bigger room it will sound different as well, especially if you're outside. Even the smoothness of the walls has some effect I'm never happy unless I can tweak my setup before I play anywhere new. Onto your main question: Tone is a very broad term. Are you looking for a metal tone, blues tone, vintage tone etc? EDIT: I didn't notice that this was in Kris's area, apologies if I'm being intrusive.

In other words it is possible to achieve a big sound with cheap amp simulators if you spend some time tweaking and read how other tweak their settings.
