Greetings, fellow Marshallers,
I am beginning to freak out. I've been screwing around for weeks with the settings on my JCM 2000 TSL100 (head + 1960AV cab) and the GT-6 and I still can't get a decent sound out of it. I'm not sure if it's the GT-6 or the amp but almost everything comes out really buzzy. And I don't mean unnaturally buzzy - it's not the tubes or anything. It's like the sound is really sharp and thin, ear-bleeding-like when it's supposed to be smoother and fatter. I've tried cutting the highs, it fixes the problem somewhat but then it makes the sound dull.
I'm playing an Epiphone Les Paul standard (with stock pickups), in 4 cable mode. I don't use the VPR function on the amp and I've been doing this by having the cab's speakers pointing at my face, since that's what the mic will pick up at gigs.
Now then, I have a request. Would those of you who own the same piece of equipment (or a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL or JCM 900 or even 800, but I know that's way different) please post your settings (on your amp's EQ and the GT-6 settings, if you are using the EQ, sub EQ or anything else that alter's the tone) so I can at least compare the results. Maybe I am just being too hard on myself and the amp sounds great?
Thanks,
Jani
