I'd use the setting in the picture to get a bluesy sound out of my Tele. However, my preferences change regularly, and I might need a different sound with the band than when playing alone, so AFAIK the sliders get used quite a bit.
I do have a BOSS GE7 and to me there's no one size fits all setting. Apart from using different settings for different guitars I may also use it for small adjustments when combining any guitar with different amps.
Only you can determine what the best tone frequency/EQ is for your archtop. I use a Boss EQ and tend to change its settings depending on which guitar or amp is in play as well as the size/acoustics of the room. It's like using salt and pepper on a meal. Flavor your tone to your taste and enjoy the variety.
Depends substantially on context. Solo guitar? What size group? Am I the only comping instrument? How does it sound when I start playing (which depends on everything from the pick to the ceiling height)? Lead or rhythm?
With pbdg and, say, alto, I dial out a lot of the lows for comping. For playing single note lines, I like a thick sound so I add the lows back in with an octave device. I'm able to get the lows out with the amp's bass control. I roll off highs at the amp just a little. I often adjust the tone control on the guitar while soloing, but that depends on what I want the solo to sound like. Sometimes I like a little more bite, meaning more highs.
That's the problem right there. Never mind Real book charts, how many versions have you listened to? And how many have the additional line? If hardly any, that's your answer. Because nobody uses it.
thanks. That contrast is one of my favorite things. When discussing stain and finish with Tom R, there was an option to go with something reddish that would minimize the different wood tones or the...
More like a debate. While with an acoustic instrument you might still get some sort of consensus how it sounds best, how could you possibly hope for that with an electric instrument that doesn't...

The technical term for what's going on with "genre" is called lexical ambiguity or polysemy--multiple senses for a single word. Singer-songwriter (or singer-songwriter-guitarist, SSG) is a "genre" in...

You can't determine how it sounds out in the audience from how it sounds to you playing on stage. If you adjust so it it sounds perfect to you on stage, the audience is likely being punished with...
Yes, the first recordings of many of those Carmichael compositions were released as instrumentals. If such instrumental recordings sold well, in order to increase royalties, lyrics would be added...
Thanks, Stan!
Unfortunately, this all came late in life. I actually started the project in 2007 but had to wait until 2016 for the first decent guitar micro-amps to be available in Europe. Today,...
For me, the most enduring one I still love to play after all these years is Stella By Starlight. But lately I Pannonica is up there. But as usual,. I play it medium. Stella too! LOL.
