Mainly, to save my friends from enduring my thinking out + loud.</p> + <h2>Reworking my THR100HD</h2> + <p>I have a <a href= + "https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/amps_accessories/thr100hd/index.html" + rel="external noopener noreferrer" + target="_blank">Yamaha THR100H Dual</a> which is a nice modeling amp + with two "amps". Typically, I run these in parallel so I am + running through BOTH at the same time. As of late I am actually + considering moving to dialing in separate tones, and using my <a href= + "https://www.joyoaudio.com/product/88.html" + rel="external noopener noexternal" + target="_blank">Joyo PXL-Live</a> to act as a "channel" + switcher.</p> + <h3>Dual Amping</h3> + <p>Honestly, dual amping is my <em>favorite</em> thing. And I would hate + to give it up, as it gives my tones SO much depth. But I find when I try + to mix my guitars that extra depth just makes mixing a bit more of a + hassle than need be. But Mick of "That Pedal Show" on YouTube I + feel feels similarly, considering in <a href= + "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMvhraRDvDs" + rel="noopener external noreferrer" + target="_blank">one of their "use less" challenge videos</a> + he used two amps for maximum tone shaping - which I feel adds some + justification to my efforts!</p> + <h2>Results after one night</h2> + <p>I spent an hour or so tonight messing around with my setup and came + out with the following high gain tone:</p> + <figure> + <figcaption> + "Rezzed" - Hi-gain dual amped Baritone guitar + </figcaption><audio controls=""><source src= + "/blog/music/2023-01-06/audio/rezzed-senders-io-audio.mp3"> + <source src="/blog/music/2023-01-06/audio/rezzed-senders-io-audio.ogg"> + <p>Download <a href= + "/blog/music/2023-01-06/audio/rezzed-senders-io-audio.mp3" + rel="me noopner" + target="_blank">MP3</a> or <a href= + "/blog/music/2023-01-06/audio/rezzed-senders-io-audio.ogg" + rel="me noopner" + target="_blank">OGG</a></p></audio> + <figcaption> + <em><small>No copyright</small></em> + </figcaption> + </figure> + <h3>Thoughts</h3> + <p>I feel its a bit... boomy still. There is some extra weight coming + from the "clean" channel that I think is causing this to lose + some clarity. I don't think if I wanted to add a mix around this + I'd even end up keeping it. Or I would do some heavy EQing to that + channel. Here is what I have dialed in so far:</p> + <figure> + <img src= + "/blog/music/2023-01-06/img/thr100hd-settings-senders-io-img.jpg" + alt= + "A photo of the front face knobs of my Yamaha THR100HD. The top amp is set to the clean setting, the booster is turned off. The gain is roughly at 3 O'Clock, Master at 9 O'Clock, Bass at 10 O'Clock, Middle at 2 O'Clock, Presense off, Rever off, and Volume at 11 O'Clock. The bottom amp is set to Modern, with the booster turned off. The gain is set to around 2:30, Master at 10 O'Clock, Bass at a bit below 9 O'Clock, Middle at 2 O'Clock, Treble at 1 O'Clock, Presents at 1:30, Rever off, and Volume a little above 9 O'Clock" + role="img" + width="100%"> + <figcaption> + <em>Current dual amp settings</em> + </figcaption> + </figure> + <h2>Future</h2> + <p>In the future I plan to setup different profiles between each the 5 + channels per amp - so they're all useable and I can just do single + amping - as that provides me the FX loop until I setup a proper stereo + board.
