Ok. . . Ummm. . . So if I send it for modding, I just tell the guy that I want a thicker tone? Or do I tell him that I want more mids out of it? But if i need more mids, I can actually just use my EQ pedal for that. And I don't know if my guitar makes the entire set up sound thin.
hey, i suggest you don't send the stock pedals for mod so fast first. sometimes tweaking the eq in the amp, and tweaking the eq in your 10-band mxr eq pedal, apart from other things can help.
here's my suggestions:
1. change strings (a must! rusty strings make your guitar sound shrill and thin)
2. tweak your eq settings :
a. your amp settings : it's a good thing to start from 12 o'clock position
of everything (including all other effects) and go
from there. reduce the treble of your sx amp (sx
amps are shrill indeed. that's what the eq pedal is
for). another way is to boost your mid slightly.
and another alternative is actually to scoop your
mid and increase both the bass and treble to
around 4 and 3 o'clock. try what works best.
b. your mxr eq settings : either you leave your amp to all 12 o'clock
position setting and go from here(take similar step)
or use this pedal to compensate what's lacking from
the amp. tips for eq pedal : sometimes it's good to
increase one band of mid and scoop the one before
it, it thickens the sound without sounding like
motorcycle, heheh.
c. your MT-2 settings : not a bad pedal, seriously! sometimes too much
drive/gain makes the sound shrill, so use it just
enough. and the eq from the pedal shud only be for
compensating the rest.
that's about it.. (a bit long, but i really hope it helps)
trying out different things first is the key before resorting to buying things (if you want to save money, that is, heheh).
if that does not work as well, hell, buy a new amp, really.
good luck!
