Hey Leonard, if you have the possibility to record yourself we will be able to guide you step by step here:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=54212 The level of the signal hitting the amp (coming from your guitar) is important, especially if you don't use any pedals. So knowing what guitar and pickups you have will help. Also, getting other peoples settings is often not that useful unless you have the same guitar/pickups/musical preferences etc. I think you might be able to get some suggestions on the mesa boards though. |

Is it the Standard 550 or Plus model? Do you have the 5 Band EQ?
For High Gain, I know you have so many choices to play with. Gain: Noon - Bass: 12:30 o'clock - Mids: 11 o'clock - Highs: 2 o'clock (What I have on my Mesa Mark 5:25). Gain: 11 o'clock - Bass: 11 o'clock - Mids: Noon - Highs: 1 o'clock. Gain: 1-2' o'clock - Bass: 12-1 o'clock - Mids 9-10 o'clock - Highs 1-2 o'clock. That's some starting points, the higher the treble goes you may wanna dial the gain/presence back a bit or it will get too tinny. -------------------- Guitars:
