Three tone packages

I've become convinced that every guitarist should have three tone packages: 1. live band, 2. studio, and 3. solo (as in, practicing by yourself). It's most likely that these three are not the same setups at all. There have been tones that I loved when I was jamming alone, but when I played with others I just disappeared in the noise. Then when I adjusted my levels to cut through the mix, I sounded like ice picks by myself. Or perhaps you have a lot of low-end which becomes pointless once you're playing with a bassist, and you end up sounding muddy. I've never been in a studio situation, but I've always heard guys try different rigs in that situation.

Concur? :confused:
 
I use the same setup with everything if needed. When I rehearse, I take either my SL5 or my head and 2x12. If I am playing live, I take either of them depending upon the gig or volume needed.

One thing that is consistent is the fact that I take my Two-Notes to gig and in the studio. I can flavour the cabs to what works for the particular song or set that I have to run with.
 
I think you should just use your fingers to adjust the knobs on your amp for the situation that you are in.

Sure... that's how I do it because I can only justify owning one rig. :cry:
 
Change the cabs, turn the knobs...all the same. One always adjusts the EQ depending upon where you are. My goal is to bring less with me when I can.
