I want more treble on my VH4 !!!

[slivoid]

Hello,

with my brother (who trains at drums) we started playing together, just for fun.
He is a Blink 182 fan, and we begin to work a simple but fast track "Dammit."
When we playing, I realized that the sound was coming out I was very (too) acute (low).
My cab, equipped with rear loaded Hempcone Tone Tubby (a Diezel !) should not be foreign...
Adjusting the EQ on the amp (VH4, Diezel again ) did not work.

So my question : how to recover a little trebles ?
I guess that EQ would be necessary, but I would not spend too much wrong and sub to play Blink
For the budget, say, 100€ (150$ approx.) or 200€ (300$ approx.) max. If the investment can serve me later, knowing that I do not want too buy a new cab...


Thank you

A buffer between guitar and amp and good quality cable can work wonders against dullness of any setup.

fresh strings and tubes

crank the presence and turn down the deep works wonders too. I sure papa has the best solution tho.

Thanks guys for your answers !

The VH4 settings are :

Canal 3 or 4
Gain : 12:00
Volume : 12:00
Trebble : 3:00
Middle : 3:00
Bass : 3:00
Presence : 12:00
Deep : 12:00

I'll put an EQ in the loop.
In your opinion, what are the best settings for playing punk rock ?

All on 10...(you don't need "11" on a Diezel)!

 

[the_music]

but 11 is one louder

A Diezel on 11 would reverse the Big Bang instantly...

Bass : 3:00

There's your problem. Turn the bass down.

Roll your bass knob back (to say, noonish) and increase your depth value to strike a good all round low-end balance, then experiment with increasing your presence values.

I feel the VH4 has quite a bit of treble in it (atleast with my guitars/speakers), so you shouldn't have much trouble finding more without mods.

Your settings seem like you did them off of how the knobs look vs how they sound. Try turning the Deep knob down to 9am and go from there. Then try Bass around 1 or 2pm and you'll probably have solved this issue. Then you might hear your mids are probably too out of whack and you'll need to lower them a little too.
