Ok, first off. I'll list off my gear, and what I paid for it all. Then, I have a few questions on tone, and what I am aiming for.
Guitar - Snow White Jackson DK2M, with EMG 81/85's. Was a Kerry King set, but haven't wired in the PA-2 yet. Wanted to see what the EMG's sounded like by themselves and didn't want to drill a hole in the guitar. Paid $630 Canadian. And $280 for the EMG's.
Amp - Marshall MG80RCD. I Paid $200 for it used off a friend. The treble knob is broken off the on the clean channel, but i haven't had to tweak it so I'm not too worried.
Effects - Pod XT live. Paid like $390 or something.
So I've been running the XT live in through the return? I think on the amp. Basically if I just plug the guitar in itself it's super clean. So I'm just running the effects only. I find if I run it straight through line in it's too muddy.
Has anybody played with this kind of rig? I play mostly old metallica. And am striving for that kind of tone. I don't have lots of time on my hands to play around with all the settings as they are virtually limitless.
Any suggestions as how to set my rig up better? Tips on the XT live?
