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.
You can think of the attenuator in a TM Twin as a knob to select several different wattage “models” of a Twin. A tube Twin can break up at very high volumes. The attenuator feature allows you to...
There’s one for sale in Omaha that is cosmetically horrible—prior owner literally scratched his name on the back plate—though plays well—for $1500.
I would sure consider it if I needed another...
I've had an EXL-1 for about 7 years now. It's a nice guitar for the money, better than a Korean Epiphone, for example. It superficially LOOKS like an original New Yorker, but that's about it. Plug it...
Bloody Brexit! Your price attracts, but less after shipping and the 24% Finnish VAT on border. That BTW will increase to 25.5% soon. Second to Hungary's 27% only in EU!
Yeah, can you post a picture or two of the bridge/saddle so we know what we're talking about? If you mean that the saddle is *leaning* towards the nut that is not normal and can indeed cause...
