How to produce good sound with effects?
- Thread starter RebirthX
- Start date
'good' sound is subjective.
...not to mention your question is very vague - you might want to be a bit more specific in what kind of sound you're after. that way the members here might be able to help you out (and you look less like a fool).
why not try experimenting and see what suits your style best?

you can try mi phat tone
compressor -> 10, fast
boogie crunch -> gain 60, tone 4
eq -> bass 2, mid 7, treble 3
reverb and delay juz tweak, anw i use this on mi strat copy into a squier sidekick, cant record and post tonite, mi pinky got ingrown, too pain

I seriously do not know what kinda sound I'm looking for...
I'm a noob in such things...
Maybe can give me some examples or... teach me how to control the levels and gains?
Well... cause I did play around... but screwed up in the end... came out with noise that gave headache...
Anyway, what does compressor do actually?
I don't understand the description...
"Attenuates high-level signal components and boosts low-level signal components, thereby keepingh the overall signal level within a certain range"

can you explain which guitarist's or band;s sound u are trying to emulate...as mentioned before...a good sound can be anything depending on a players tastes.... :wink:
apart from that...its really very difficult to say how levels work on your pedal...in my experience...each multi effector is designed differently and individual level values affect the sound in various ways..the closest to a true analog setup would be the boss gt-8 where levels would have to be exact ....
but in my old digitech...the levels didnt really matter that much...
a good start would be to keep all levels at 50% and then adjust each to suit you....dont keep any level too high....
compression....umm...maybe you could read up on the internet what the terms mean...but in laymans terms...it evens out your playing....and removes teh effect of picking dynamics(soft or hard)...particularly used for strumming i guess...some also use compressors to add sustain and evenness to their playing ....
hope this helped

hi
yo man i using G2 too... however whenever i go to jam, when i strum power chords its has a boom boom boom sound thru the amp.
i dont know which side has prom, guitar, pedal or amp or even cable, but cable wont gives too exaggerate proms.
do u all know wads the prom mostly likely be.?
onli distortion effects have this prom, clean, and other dun have this prom
i lke to hav high mid , low bass and low treble, i will switch off the amp's distortion, if not, it will mix with the effect processor .
hey man the prom has been there since i first got my pedal, recently it realli upsets my jam man, dun know where the prom lies.
thanks alot

what can i say? experiment experiment and more experiment .... really have to sit down and adjust the parameters one by one.
The fact is ... the best sounding comes from your guitar. No point trying to add colour to a lousy guitar if the sound dynamics is not there in the first place. So invest more on a good guitar than on more effects.
Personally, i prefer less effects as possible so that the characteristics of the sound can be more defined .... unless in special situations where you need heavy effects for certain part of a song.
