Sometimes it’s easy to overlook and/or forget if a small toggle switch (bright cap, voicing or gain related) gets bumped, particularly on modded and busy control panel type of amps. Especially if it’s on the back panel

Ever wake up and all day you feel 1 step behind ? Drop shit? Trip over a blanket, cable or your foot? Lose words? Then some days you are king ….

YESS! I’ve always wondered if other people experience that too. Whole days where people are mean or rude for no reason and I’m ‘final destination’ level accident prone. But then other days when guys are falling over themselves just to open a door for me, I catch every green light, can sneeze on my guitar and Paganini comes out, etc

Keep it simple, back to basics, slow down,,, That’s all sage advice. fr thx

Probably humidity and barometric pressure differences. Mids dont travel well through water filled dense air

I was having the same issue as the op & had a high thought that maybe this was the issue.. Turns out it was environment related in my situation … mind blown…

All the outside factors are legit, particularly the power and the sound of the venue room. So many variables.

But I swear sometimes my hearing trolls me. Human error I guess, but how many times has something been dialed in great, like hell yeah, this is the sound for this guitar/amp etc.

Then the next day, same tone at the house, and I’m like WTF? The treble freqs of tone death are poking through, or the other end, OMG blanket over everything, this tone sucks and it will never cut to be heard anyway.

Tone nerding is a road full of malice and disappointments. There is also a negative side.

People in the room? How you are faced in the room? What other instruments are playing?. Temperature? What song? What is your mindset? It all matters.
Ever wake up and all day you feel 1 step behind ? Drop shit? Trip over a blanket, cable or your foot? Lose words? Then some days you are king …. When I’m “not right”, I go back to basics, play scales, easy licks.. bread and butter to get those right… the tone is important and most people are clueless on tone but they know timing and sour notes so when shit doesn’t sound right, I try to play simple. @Techdeth taught me this; “Dude, for real, keep it simple when things are off, fr”. I had to look up FR. He is right.

I’m always right . If I’m wrong I misspoke . I’m your Zen Guitar Teacher . Young padowan @alund the force is strong in you

The struggle is real.

UPDATE: Everything sounds glorious again. Different amps, v30 cab, GB cab, boosted or not. 4cm —> axefx or straight in. Measured 121v at the wall so,,, gonna keep an eye on that! Also making shiddy iPhone recordings so I can compare to when/if things turn ugly again.

Low mids get bogged down, while high mids travel over it.
