STEP 2 HOW TO EQ A GUITAR AMP DIALLING IN THE PERFECT GUITAR TONE
Tip #1 Set All The Controls To 12 o' Clock
When setting up your guitar amp, the rst thing you should do is set all of your controls to 12 o'clock. Setting everything
at 12 o' clock gives you a great starting point, from here it's easy to tweak your amp to where you want it.
Tip #2 Gradually Tweak Each Control On Your Amp
When you EQ your amp, make sure that you spend some time on each control. Don't just dive straight into adjusting
every single knob, pick one control and gradually turn it until you are happy with your guitar tone.
Tip #3 Don't Crank The Gain Knob
One of the biggest mistakes that beginners make is cranking the gain knob. Cranking the gain knob on the amp will
just turn your guitar to mush. Sure, it can be fun and there's nothing wrong with having a great crunch tone. However,
it's important to be modest with the gain knob. The level of your gain knob is something that you should de nitely be
aware of when learning how to EQ a guitar amp.
