Marshall Amp Settings Help

[Squid_uk]

Hey Guys!

Now you guys have helped me before with my guitar stuff which is why i need your help again!

I've just got myself a new Marshall AVT275X Guitar Amp and im having big problems with the settings, basically im trying to get it to sound similar to the music i listen to,

The music im trying to play is bands like Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Green Day, think you get the idea!

I was wondering if you could advise me on settings or even point me in the right direction because to be honest i don't really have a clue!

Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but you might look into whether or not some of those guys used distortion boxes or other devises before the sound even gets to the amp.

the amp does have some preset effects on it but im havin trouble with setting like the Gain, Mid, treble, bass distrotion etc.

I do have the following pedals, Zoom 606, Yamaha MagicStomp and a CryBaby Classic

marshall amps are built to sound beautiful and basically, you wont get that shitty sound you're looking for without effects pedals. your zoom pedal should be able to come close though.. it looks like you can program the sounds, right? just create a preset for each different sound you're trying to create. use google! often times you can find "band faq's" that fans create and they will list equipment used. from there, try and recreate the sounds with your zoom.

i go to http://www.harmony-central.com/ forum for my amp questions.

I agree with what ToolFool mentioned.

With your zoom 606, you should be able to get pretty darn close to the sound of most people.

I dont know of any sites (other than the ones mentioned), but I wouldnt use em anyway. Thats part of the fun. Just try stuff out. Add an effect, change the settings, add another effect, change the settings. Play with it and go nuts. With 35 effects and 9 simultaniously, there is a WORLD of possibilities my friend.

Have at 'er.

Do yourself a favor and learn how to play and sound good without all the effects before you go nuts trying to sound like your heros. You've got a good amp, you really don't need all that other shit.

Ok i`m gonna try to give you a hand on this the shortest possible if you want different sounds like Metallica Guns green day , You gonna need several sets of effects but you gonna find you that you gonna have better results with the effects from your marshal than the zoom ones . The next set up on Marshall`s is for :Bright Clean ; Bass 4 , Treble 8 : Classic Crunch ; Overdrive on Gain 2 ; Bass 5 Contour 5 Treble 7 : Lead ; Overdrive on Gain 8 Bass 7 Contour 5 Treble 5 and of course Metal , Overdrive on Gain 9 Bass 8 Contour 9 Treble 8 .
Of course this is just for you to get a felling from clean to blues and metal/Rock sound , but if you don't have the money to get individual pedals or rack effects , try to buy a multi effects from Korg , Digitech or Boss I still Have around my Korg 1500G and it can do 8 effects at the same time. but to tell the truth its a bit more complicated to get the right sound like the bands you mentioned because of there set up ( effects , amps and guitars pick-up etc ) but my best advise is ......Practice , Last tip AC/DC Angus Young Set up : Gain 6 Bass 4 Treble 6 Volume ....10 , that's right no effects its the guitar that controls the volume . Advise use Headphones .
