Sounds like any normal basswood guitar marketed to 12 year old wannabe Van Halens

FYI, I use the normal OD because I can't stand the second one


It's as if the rule with guitar amps is more knobs = worse tone, because the best sounding amps I've every heard had only EQ/tone, Volume, and Gain (and maybe reverb)

Your argument is invalid.

A superstrat is thin with no sustain? This hole you're digging is getting deeper and deeper by the minute.

A Mesa Mark V has bad tone? Seriously, put down the shovel and walk away.

I build 18W'ers, they only have two knobs and will kick that thing's ^ arse. Still, I can think of many amps with a plethora of knobs that sound great. As you demonstrated, number of tells you jack shit.
This thread just gets dumber and dumber by the minute.

Yeah. My Mark V sucks. It has more than 3 knobs.... not like the switches for different voicing on the channels give you completely new sounds or anything. Not like they sound good either.

As with any rule, there are exceptions. I've never had the time to dial in a MESA amp, so I won't comment on those. But I do know that the Marshall TSL, which has a billion different settings, is one of the worst-sounding amps ever. Some dude played it at this performance and you couldn't even tell what chords or notes he was playing. All you heard was "kzzzz,kzz,kzz,zzkz,zzkzk,wheeeeeee (pinch harmonic), kzz zkz,kzz,kzz, kzkz"

I tried to dial it in afterwards when I was to play through it, and all I found was a tone that was barely adequate

Then again, I've never liked the heavier overdrives.
