Just out of curiosity, what did the woman that coordinated the jam look like? I'm sure it's out of the question that you weren't trying to impress/score-points-with this chick at all... WELL WERE YOU???!! lol ;) ;)

Dayum!! That's awesome! I love those fret markers too, looks sweet! You'll love the P-rails, I used a set in my baritone build, excellent pickups.

Post a clip or a YouTube link of the "thrum" "dark metal" tone you're trying to achieve.

What speaker cab are you running it through? I HATED the stock peavey one and sold it rather quickly; I use my 3120 through a Marshall 1960 4x12 for older metal stuff, and a Mesa boogie recto 4x12 for the modern metal, the recto cab is insane! (Meaning, effing awesome) it's got such a massive...

Hmmm, again, I'd suggest to mess around with the different settings and EQ it with your ears, I freakin love my 3120 head, It's got so many awesome tones lurking within...

Also, what setting do you have set on the dampening switch on the back? I like the "tight" setting when I'm playing modern metal with my downtuned guitars, and I like the mid setting with everything else. The 3120 is such a killer amp, I like it waaaaaay better than any of the 5150 or 6505 series!

You need to EQ your amp with your ears and not your eyes. Crank the mids up more; guitar is a midrange instrument, if you've got your mids at 10oclock you won't get a "dark" thick metal tone. Mids are your friend, especially for metal. I crank the mids on all my amps and I always get tons of...

Re-read my post, I said the gain on the overdrive pedal was turned all the way down, and the level knob 3/4 of the way up. ;) The gain knob on the AMP is set to slightly past noon.

I've got a 3120 head and I get "dark" metal tones out of mine, mine has JJ tubes all around (preamp, and JJEL34's in the power), I have the tone knob backed off to about 10'o-clock, mids cranked to 3 o'clock, and bass at 2 o'clock, and then I have a digitech bad monkey overdrive boosting the...

No offense but... Yup.  :icon_thumright: In the first place I never would've let someone else play my guitar(s), and I wouldn't let someone else (man or woman or whatever) dictate the lending out of MY gear. Hannaugh is absolutely right; I worked my @$$ off & scrimped & saved to have the nice...

:icon_thumright: no prob!

HELLZ no!!!  who in their right mind would want to play a P*nis-shaped guitar????

I used to use 9's and 10's like you and always kept looking for a bigger, thicker tone; when I finally switched to Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky's that was it. Sure they're 11-54 gauge, but I guarantee that thicker strings = thicker tone. also, you could try Ernie Ball's skinny top/heavy bottom set...

no prob  :icon_thumright:
