You Make Every Guitar Amp Sound Great
Comment from : Mary Spender

Hi, what's the volume and tone knobs on the guitar set at? I used to set it at all knobs at the middle and some have said that I should set it at max Thanks
Comment from : Jonriel Besinio

Veryhelpful thank you Rett
Comment from : Bryant Cochran

great lesson, just been guessing and experimenting with my 2 amps ( VoxAC15 and Fender Reverb Reisue) I will try this before next rehersal
Comment from : Muddled Spirits 💀

Any tips on dialing in pedals for this amp ? I'm having a hard time with my pedals all my pedals sound kind of muffled compared to my little fended vibrochamp reverb
Comment from : dustin

Me, with a 1967 Traynor Yba-2 with only a single volume and single tone knob (that also acts as a gain?!)brbrYes
Comment from : Ugo Smith

I have a Marshall acoustic amp Love to have a process for getting the settings where you want them Thanks
Comment from : Guy Anderson

I love that riff!!!brLots of Molly Hatchet feel to the guitars! brThe drums steer it in a different direction thoughbrStill a great riff!
Comment from : patrick farley

I’d consider it an honor to be given that beautiful sounding amp Thanks for the tips Rhett
Comment from : “Joe”

Great content RS Nice step-by-step process for better amp tone controlbrbrHow do you go about overall volume while also achieving the desired tone on amps, pedals and guitar simultaneously? It seems the point is often to turn the volume up - but high volume can be very impractical brbrWould be great to hear some thoughts on volume levels on guitar + pedals + amp (+ mixer when miced up) Preferably in different situations like studio playing, bedroom, band practice, concert, ectbrbrAny reference to other videos on this topic?
Comment from : Emil Muff

Your opener had a great mix
Comment from : choim dachoim

Interestingly, the eq on the lead channel makes the amp sound more like a Marshall as you turn the tone and mid controls clockwise Certainly versatile! Clever design!
Comment from : morbidrockerdude

Just what I needed to see, thank you
Comment from : Jeff Xanders

I watched that Matt Schofield vid It could have been Andertons or That Pedal Show, or something similar I've used the same method to pretty good effect

talk talk talk Bloody get on with it before we all die of bloody boredom
Comment from : peter friend

Please help…?! I’m in a 3-piece pop-punk rock band… is this not good for that distortion sound and are there any suggestions for an amp that has an attenuation like this or similar?
Comment from : Greg

Damn, dude! Tone King gave you an amp? Very niceNice compliment
Comment from : Spidge B

Where do you start the tone controls on the guitar, when dialing in an amp?
Comment from : d lock5

Thanks Rhett, I have been playing guitar for 4 years now I use a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue, and I am trying to find a blues(SRV/Buddy Guy) tone I will apply this to my amp soon Thanks again! :)
Comment from : Michael Stinson

Part of it is that beautiful break-up, but the rest of it is a perfectly intonated guitar It really does make all the difference If you can play up and down the neck and the guitar is intonated well and there's a little bit of gain breakup on the output, it's the holy trifecta
Comment from : dedballoons

So basically adjust until it sounds good Awesome
Comment from : RED CHERRY 69

Great vid, with tons of info!!
Comment from : Marty Davis Davis

you might be suprised at the metal tones if you have a good distortion pedal
Comment from : Music is Fun

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what is your guitar volume knob(s) set at when setting up the amp? @rhett shull
Comment from : B_ M

Great intro song!
Comment from : drumbyte

I play thur a 80’s HIWATT DR504 I use both volumes and have tried this method and it really made a difference in the tone I was trying to get in my head Pedals also sound richer and are easier to dial in now that I’m starting with a cleaner Slightly overdriven tone When I’m doing a indoor or outdoor gig I now just have to adjust the volume and tweak the mids a bit Overall this method I find really works so thanks for sharing with us
Comment from : Greg Bronson

what kind of telecaster is this? very cool
Comment from : Nir Levi

Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Comment from : Kail Mariño Méndez

Comment from : Dented TRUTH

Comment from : Ye Ye

Hey Rhett, brWhat setting was the Attenuator set at during this video? I have the combobrI haven't played out with this amp yet and I have it set to the lowest setting playing in the bedroom brAlso I use analog pedals What pedals would you recommend? Analog/digitalbrThanks for the great videos
Comment from : M Gilbertson

Or just get a skylark and turn it up all the way
Comment from : PugForce

And how to make my amp sound great at bedroom volumes? its 120w i Just buy a multieffect pedal to fix that Mainly for compressor - noise gate -EQ
Comment from : Godspeed961

EVERYBIT OF ME WANTS TO HATE THAT PINK FLAMINGO SPARKLY LOOKING NOVOBUT I CANTI HATE THAT I LIKE IT AESTHETICALLY, AND WHAT CAN I SAY? ALWAYS A STEP ABOVE EVERY GUITAR YOUR LAYERING AROUND IT SONICALLY, ITS ROCK AND ROLL ALL THE WAY!
Comment from : John Mirabile

HOLY MOLY! That into was incredible!
Comment from : Luca Sergeant

Thank you!!!
Comment from : JustGuitar

Cheers
Comment from : Bass

im a year late but BRO, what a cool Fing opening song!!
Comment from : Andrew Longbranch

I really like the “free” amp review It was very fair The lesson is fantastic Especially try subtracting before adding in tone controls Everything I thought from 17 to 35 was often wrong Now I get it!
Comment from : Bart Chapman

Sup dude, i know its unrelated but can you break down what you did in the intro? Im learning to break out and to start small riff, can you make a vid or break down what you did?
Comment from : Luis Rodriguez

I like your video I am looking for my one great Amp I am old and playing again with my old band on occasion but mostly at home for my own enjoyment because I am dissabled too I learn a lot from you Thanks for that I grew up down the hall from the CARS and BOSTON my friend owned the Cambridge Music Complex what a great time we hadbr One New Years Eve I even partied with one of the guys from the CARS not sure which one everyone never made a big deal out of who was who we all had our own band rooms and a pin ball break room and we were all just cool with each other as musiciansbrJust like you are here on your YouTube with everyone Thanks Again I enjoy your music and your band too
Comment from : Jay P

Just picked up this same Amp, in the combo with the same CME-exclusive (to the US) lacquered tweed, less than a year old, in like-new condition Likely cured my amp quest for a good long time to come Scratched the BF and Tweed itches in the right places for my wants
Comment from : Les Caster

Hi Rhett Currently laid up at home with a broken leg and I have been catching up with your great informative videos and repeating some of them You have a really good approachable presentation style Don't change it's all good I am a new but old budding rhythm type guitarist who jams with a really good drummer playing my rhythm chord based version of the old classics Hendrix Santana JJ Cale Fleetwood Mac Briefly I struggle to get a nice clean tone for singing and a meatier tone for more driving songs without that muddy tone from my Blues Junior amp A Mex Strat HSS with tone control on the back H pickup A USA Tele custom Humbucker at the neck Happy with my gear but my inexperience marginalises the sound I have a boost and inexpensive overdrive Keeping it simple Rhett could you give me ball park settings Bass Treble and Mids for a clean tone sound and meatier tone with my boost pedal How long is a piece of string right? You understand the strengths and weaknesses of that amp Any advice would be wonderful I do jot expect a lengthy reply you are a very busy guy with your top channel Thanks again Rhett Tom UK

Do this with a pawn shop amp or $100 or less amp new

Comment from : peter haroldsen

What about dailing in a Tubemeister Deluxe 40? Thats my favorite amp right now
Comment from : Louis Mulder

The intro sounds great! Catchy riff
Comment from : Dino Martin

Thx for sharing and well explained Haven’t read thru all 1K+ comments so may be repeating this which has already been said but this goes along with the saying ‘Use your ears; not your eyes’ Listen to what your amp has to offer and not just turn the knobs to where you think they should go or where so and so has their amp set at Thanks RS ! 👍🏽
Comment from : CoachP7

Try the same with your guitar’s (and pedals) tone controls too Particularly with single coils It will tame that extra brightness you might have when the amps treble control is dialed in
Comment from : Reuben Solly

how to dial a Fender blues jr 4?
Comment from : Robertas

Question to Rhett or anyone reading these comments: brHow and when do you set the the tone on the guitar? brWide open? brmid way? brDo you adjust it once the amp is adjusted, or before? brThank you
Comment from : slefou

what an intro ! wow
Comment from : The Moaning Carper

Nice riffs Rhett
Comment from : Al DiTo

An expansion of the old adage "set the controls with your ears not your eyes" Though think his amp sounds best with the gain cranked He's thinking classic rock and I'm thinking Black Sabbath
Comment from : Crunch2

Great sounds you're getting out of that Tone King Looks killer to with the tweed tolex I'm loving my Deluxe Reverb which I got recently Just attenuating the Volume at 6 ish and drive it with pedals But man they didn't lie about those Jensen speakers being bright
Comment from : Eugene Blommaert

Where do you set your guitar tone control when dialing the basic tone of the amp? Wide open, or do you roll off the treble a bit to give you room to adjust?
Comment from : Rocky

Lovely and useful video! I learn to play with a Fender solid state amp wich was good for the time (20 ya) but never could get a decent sound from it Nowadays I play at home and rehearsals with a head and cab Epiphone Valve Jr, with some mods: a tone pot, which activates a booster, a volume pot and three gain positions in a switch Its an amazing amp and it gives to me all I want! I also have a vintage 71' plexi (its a weird history, it was a gift) and to the moment I didnt use it so much Too loud and quite delicate This last week I also got another vintage amp a class A from the 60's with two speakers, the big one is elliptical (20x10 cm) and the other smaller, for the trebbles Its a 4w amp with two tubes and is really lovely, just one volume pot, which also works as an on/off! All of them are quite different and I love them all Anyways, if I had to choose, the Epiphone is my all in one: kinda low to practice at home, but loud enough to play with drums, small and portable (the plexi is a monster) and a really lovely sound It crunchs so hard with a fuzz and sounds perfect with some delay for the melodies Its all what it needs and all what I want!
Comment from : earan

I have an Ashdown Little Bastard 30W that does not even have a gain knob Very analog and highly variable tone based on the EQ Great very pure amp but it requires a lot of experimentation
Comment from : David

"Full transparency, Tone King gave me this amp and didn't ask me to do a certain video" Yeah? you think it's OK? Yeah? You think Mozart is a decent composer? Yeah? You think Einstein was smart? Here, have a Lambo and see what you think?brI don't think Ali needs us to confirm he's a decent boxer That's how I feel about Tone King They're pretty good and don't need anyone to tell them so 🙂brNext time, try to do a video on how to make a Tone King sound bad That'd be interesting
Comment from : Brent Arnesen

Awesome dude🤙🏼
Comment from : Diego Poses

Late to the party: what do you do with tone controls that are cut/boost?
Comment from : Mr E Mann

Damn, that opening jam was freaking awesome That was nice to listen to
Comment from : ZB

Man this Intro Song 🤘
Comment from : Matzo

@Rhett Schull do feel as if modelers act similarly or are their “pots” to Linear And predictable?
Comment from : Wade Hickam

Oh yea that amp sucks !
Comment from : David Whitehill

Hey SR no pots r the same cts bourns ext do ur homework first!
Comment from : David Whitehill

Should we assume that you have the guitar volume at max?
Comment from : Rich Clayton

it would be great to see this done with a ss beginner amp
Comment from : zerothehero

Thank you for this tutorial Rhett, it has helped me a lot I really appreciate that you and Rick Beato love to share your enthusiasm and knowledge
Comment from : Jim Brennan

Great sound and tune !!
Comment from : catman

this same approach works on bass amps tooyou can get some pretty amazing sounds out of a bass guitar by playing with the eq and overdrive if your amp has itnice video Rhett
Comment from : thomas womack

i cant describe how wonderful that riff was at the start great sound as well
Comment from : Gerald Chan

I really loved that jam at the beginning
Comment from : Brian Elkins

Can I do this with a solid state amp, i have a 10w orange
Comment from : Prabhas Joshi

Has anyone out there heard the thought that some amps will can show up your flaws as a player? As in, one amp makes you sound epic, and another shows you as a crappy player Is this true or just more internet bullshit?
Comment from : Steven Austin

Thank you…time to unlock the amps I have

How about some guidance on how a presence works and how best to adjust David#
Comment from : David Sharp

Great info and pretty much how I set my amps up Like most the majority of my playing is at home so I now use a ROLAND GA112 Means I can approximate my sound but it runs easily at low volume too I prefer Orange and Fender valve amps but I dont get chance to hear them properly 😎
Comment from : David Sharp

I found this to be very useful information Thanks
Comment from : Austin Knowlton

Yeah I have always wondered if there was one exersize to get good sounds from my ampthis will workthanks
Comment from : Larry Burns
