Honest Feedback On My Tone Needed! MM Sterling

Sounds awesome to my ear. Wouldn't change a thing with it.

I would try and change the mix: the guitarist is too quiet/not EQ'd so that he's got his own slot. The bass, drums, and horns sound right.

Totally!! I always try to get him to turn up a little more...and he does on solo's...but he's a jazzer...and just always sits a little below where I want him in the mix. That said...if I came down a little, well that would help too.
 
i liked it the way it is. you can just mess with it a tad from show to show. noone says you have to play with the same tone every gig. it's not a rule believe it or not. haha

i would put a little more high mid in there. it will make it pop just a bit more.

one thing i learned when playing in my band live and recording is you want a little more highs/high mid coming out of your amp than you really like. not a bunch or all you'll get is string noise but just a tad more. once it's mixed in with everything else it sounds great. if you just set it how you like it on your amp then when it's in the mix it sounds muddier than you want it to. i hope that makes sense. that was my experience with it anyways.

as for the lows i can't tell because i'm listening on a laptop computer and lows never come through good on a video anyways. lol

great band though!!
