Here I you can find some of the great questions some of my G411 students have asked, and my responses. More soon...

Q: I do have another question for you, more on the "killer tone" side of the house: I can get great tones from my Strats with my GNX4, but, when I get past the 12th fret my sound goes from "kill" to "shrill." Is that bad EQ or something like that?

A: In theory, your tone shoud as you pointed out be consistent up and down the neck. Certain amp models and tones sound great at one area on the neck and not the other. A classic example would be a huge modern metal rhythm tone that is not great for lead sounds - you guessed it - at the top of the neck. The challenge I presume you face is that when you fatten up the tone at the top of the neck it gets muddy down below. Since you can select multiple presets, I would suggest creating a lead and rhythm preset. On the lead preset you can afford a little more bass to fatten things up as well as a little more gain. That will help the shrill factor. Then in terms of your rhythm tone, bring down the gain so it is less compressed, and it will be more crisp. Having separate tones but from the same amp model or distortion sound gives continuity to your "sound". Again we fattened up the lead tone and separated it from your rhythm so we could lose the brightness and don't end up with mud for your rhythm tone. Let me know if that helps. Also are you using two different EQs at the same time. That is the EQ that comes as part of an amp model and a separate graphic or parametric EQ. It is possible that you are magnifying a particular frequency in the process if you are. I've done that on my GT-6. Hope that helps!
