GT-5 Line out patches/settings

[Geoff-o]

I need help with programming patch ideas that result in sounds that are amp-realistic by using the line/headphones selected output.

My on-stage setup is a Strat into the GT-5 & line out into a powered mixer - quite a standard set-up. However, I just can't seem to achieve the simulated quality of an amp without the high strings sounding thin, edgy, metalic, brittle & tinny! - I've adjusted the eq so much it hurts.

Selecting an Amp (combo) output seems to help a little but not totally satisfactory. I'm now concentrating more on the live sound of the unit than my performance - Have I totally missed the plot & just been a complete idiot (be kind :roll: ) or is there just something I've overlooked?

Would appreciate any help - Thanks :?

Do the patches sound fine through headphones? If they do, perhaps the eq on the board needs some focus.

Are you setting up the patches through the headphones? I've found that setting up patches through the headphones doesn't give the same sound when you use it through an amp, PA, etc...

Thanks for your reply - I'll have a listen through the cans as you suggest & see what it sounds like & then post a reply, but I always eq my patches at the 'gig' on the system.

I have vers 1.02 - do you think an upgrade would be worth considering?
