Hey everyone.
I have has a Line 6 Spider 3 30W for about a year now. The only effect I run into it is a Slash Crybaby and my guitar is an Ibanez RG1570 w/ stock pickups. I find that I cannot find a good tone anywhere near like anything I hear people like Marcus get from his POD. I just can't get a smooth distorted sound for when I am playing legato, sweeps etc
I would appreciate if anyone could help me to coax a smoother tone for more technical or shreddy playing out of this amp. I don't have any money at the moment so I can't afford a small tube amp, new pickups etc
Also, does anyone have any opinions on the stock pickups in my RG1570? Personally I find them a bit too high gain and they don't help sustain or note clarity much but I'm open to amp settings which could help me achieve that fluid smooth distorted tone that you here from guys like MAB, John Petrucci (yes I realise the complexity of their rigs and the time and money that goes into them) and the sweet almost liquidy tones of many other great shredders
All input and suggestions appreciated!
