Q: How do I balance the volume of my presets?
A: The best way to balance your presets is to first store your cleanest/quietest preset with the channel volume at 90-95%. You can then balance the volume of your other presets against this preset by using the channel volume control and storing each sound. This is the sole purpose of the Channel/Tone Volume knob. It does not increase/decrease gain, change tone or otherwise alter the preset - just volume.
Q: How do I create a sound like an artist?
A: There are a number of ways to create patches to emulate a specific guitarist. Perhaps the quickest/easiest way is to find a patch in your Line 6 unit that is similar to the sound you are trying to emulate, make the modifications necessary and then rename/save the patch (see your manual for the specifics on how to save your patches). You can also find ready-made Line 6 tones in the style of particular artists at www.customtone.com, then install these tones on your Line 6 unit. We recommend doing a bit of research on the guitarist you are trying to emulate if you are interested in creating patches "from scratch". Web sites such as www.guitargeek.com and www.uberproaudio.com, list the rigs of many well-known guitarists, and Guitar and recording magazines often print accurate diagrams and layouts (sometimes with the actual microphones used and distance from the cabinet). Finding the following information will help you create an artist tone from scratch:
· Amplifier, speaker and cabinet. Generally speaking, open-back guitar cabinets (such as a 2x12 cabinet found on many Fender® and Vox® amplifiers) will have less low-end response than a closed-back cabinet (such as a 4x12 closed-back cabinet used with many Marshall® and Mesa/Boogie® amplifiers)
· Guitar (make/model) and pickup type. Alder or Ash bodies (commonly found on many Fender® guitars) sound different than mahogany bodies with or without maple tops (commonly found on many Gibson® guitars). Single-coil pickups (often used for bright/clean tones) sound different than humbuckers (which sound darker than single-coil pickups but not as noisy when used for higher gain tones)
· Pedals, effects and signal-chain placement. Effects can drastically change a guitar tone so you should know what effects were used and where they were placed (between the instrument and amplifier, or after the amplifier).
· Microphone type and placement. If possible, find out the kind of microphone used to record the tone and its angle and distance from the speaker. All of these play a significant role in changing the sound.
