Acoustic B100 amp EQ question

makanudo · #1 12-16-2011, 03:59 PM

So i recently got back into playing with an amp since i wasnt able to take it to my college dorm this semester. Anyway i was never really good EQing the amp even when i had it with me and now that i've got it infront of me i really cannot find a way to set up the EQ to find a tone i like.

I know most people will say, set everything flat and start from there, so before you do let me tell you that i have been doing that, however i just can't seem to get a tone i really like.
The problem i have is that when i play with fingers, it sounds a bit too "boomy" and what im looking is, i don't know how to put it, a tone with more "Life" to it, something meaty with a bit of grind or snarl to it but without the need to use a pick. (I got nothing against picks i just preffer fingerstyle).

On a sie note, could it be because of the 1x15 speaker on it?

Anyway i was hoping i could get some help from you guys like what i should be adding more off or cutting to get somewhat close to what im looking for. Thanks in Advance!

I scooped the Mids, upper the lows around 1 o'clock and the highs around 4 o'clock and I get it pretty nice, it sounds a lot punchyier with a 2x10 hitched in an beating the heck outta the strings

Hey sup, thanks for the quick reply, which mids are we talking about here, low or high or both?

Something like that, I'd fiddle around with it a bit

Try...
Gain at 9 or 10 o'clock
Frequency all the way up
Lows and High Mids at 1 o'clock
low mids at 2 o'clock
high at 3 o'clock

Hey guys just ot let you know that i've found a setting that suits me a bit, scooping the mids got me somewhat closer but what i think ill do next is lower the strings so i can have more attack.

Anyway i was thinking about what i've previously read around the forums and that's that scooping the mids might sound good while playing alone but in a live setting i might get lost. I didint turn the knobs all the way down, more like at 9 o clock both low and high mids, what do you think?
