Haha I'm constantly criticized for dialing amps in too bright. I enjoyed boosting an old 2204 with a Fortin 33 even. I just dunno how this would sit with cymbals etc. But if you enjoy it, rock on.sm57. Totally get it if it’s not your thing. I play high gain metal where if you do not use an aggressive cutting guitar tone, you will not be heard.
I agree guitars can sound good in both contexts. But that perception is up to the listener. The tones I look for even isolated are bitey, clear, without a bunch of gunk in the 300-700 hz range. Some guys think that sounds “warm” I think it sounds like ass. Everyone is different for what they may play or listen to.
