Can anyone help me get the right sound from my amp. I'm trying to play Def Leppard's 'too Late fror Love'. My amp is a Vox AD30VT.
I feel like I'm getting close, but its missing something. I know I need to play around with this thing to learn more about amp effects, etc... but if someone could help me get the sound for this song, I's be a happy guy.
thanks!
I'm not familiar with that song at this moment. You may want think about getting a Equalizer, they can really bring your tone to life. Here's a list of equipment I use and how its set to achieve their highly sought after tone. Perhaps use the effects setting as a starting point and work from there.
Everything is Rack Mounted except the speakers.
First Equalizer: No more than +4db midrange boost
Tube power amp with 8-El84's running at their saturation point into a dummyload,
Second Equalizer: set around 0db across all frequencey's
Analog Effects;

Expander: Range 1:3
Distortion: Tube Solid Warm, Drive 96%, Bite 75%, output 78%
Noise gate: Range 53%
Third Equalizer: -6db/40hz, +6db/100hz, +4db/250hz, 0db/640hz, +4db/1.6Khz, +4db/4Khz, -6db/10Khz
