aight. Check it out. I'm trying to get my distortion sound finalized.
I'm running through a Warp-7 halfstack, using a Boss GT-3 pedal, playing on an Ibanez. I've opted to either use the Warp-7's distortion or use the clean channel and use the GT-3's distortion. The upside to the Warp-7's distortion is it's got the good thick bottom end, but zero clarity. The upside to the GT-3 is that I can grab much clarity but push the tone into muddy when I try to dial in the low end, and I know nothing about paramatric EQ's. The tone I hear in my mind is cutting yet punchy without having too much feed back. I listen to Fear Factory, Deftones, Megadeth, Prong, etc. (you get the idea)...so if anyone could school me on how to use EQ to solve this riddle I would appreciate it!

For "metal" I: Boost the bass to 8, Trebs to 10, Mids to Zero. This is pretty close to right on most amps I've played (Marshalls, Peaveys, Fenders, Crates).

Hope that helps, Peace!

Treble 3/4

mids 1/2

bass 1/4

Thats when playing in a band, my pickups make it bassy anything, try it, it may not be very metally at first, fiddle with the bass a bit more.
