Emotive Guitar Sound
Devices Used:
Marshall JCM 900
Boss Blues Drive Distortion pedal
Fender Telecaster
Sound Description:
This sound is great for creating an emo/rock guitar sound, with thick chords and singing harmonics. It takes away a lot of the tele's twang, and makes this classic marshall scream, with a very thick creamy distortion.
Settings:
Guitar tone knob: turned way down
Pedal: level set at half way.Drive set at about 10:00. Tone is a little less that half.
Marshall settings: gain is 12 treble is 6 middle is 2, bass is 6, and no prescence.
Volume: crank to at least half way. If recording, crank past 7.

Devices Used:
One jcm 900 100watt head w/ a 1960A marshall 4x12 cab. coupled w/ an ibanez Rg 520Qs With a DoD "edge" pedal.
Sound Description:
A gut renching, dissemboweling low-end, with a crunch similar to godzilla chewing up the emipre-state building, with sonic sustain.
Settings:
Reverb- zero. Bass- 10 Treb- 8.
Master volume- 8. Gain- 10. Presence- 7 1/2. Mid- zero.
Also use the DoD edge pedal. It's hard to find since DoD no longer makes it, however some pawn shops have it. It has one function , which basically adds clearity to your tone. it was orginally made for cleaning up acoustic-electric models, but does a great job w/ taking the mudd out of this sound.

Devices Used:
Marshall jcm 900 50 watt [all tube head]
Sound Description:
The sound is supershitty to the max.
Settings:
To get this sound, you should play a Gibson SG Special with a P-94 pickup. Here's the settings:
Gain: hotter than hell
Treble: Cranked up to 8
Bass: keep it on 5. Let the bassguitar do the basswork.
middle: about 3-4.
presence: begin with setting this button up to half scale.
Then you can laborate your own sound by just shifting the presence button.
These settings are excellent for playing in a shitty rock-group.
Good luck!
