I'm having trouble nailing the amp settings of CoB. My humbucker is a mid range mid output humbucker making it a little tricky to get the sound dead on please help.

Please don't be a dick,
-Peace
 
im really looking for the mid, bass, trebble, gain settings, i also have a rectifier switch on my amw as well as reverb if that makes a difference.
-Peace again. :headbang:

experiment yourself. Each amp is different. Or just turn the shit knob to 10.


Yeah, turn the shit knob to 10.. I would have never thought of that!!! Man... I wish everyone was as smart as this guy!!! so, if I actually turn the 'shit knob' i will get a sound like CoB's??? If I turn the "stale" knob and add a lot of reverb, will I get an Opeth sound? Or even better, if I turn the "same as the last 2 albums" knob, will i sound like Kalmah???


anyway, alexi has his amp settings to treble 10, bass 10, mid-boost 7-8 (sometimes he switches the bass and the mid)... gain 3 and master 7. i might be off on some of the numbers, but try that and adjust it to how your amp sounds. Just like the prodigy himself says:

So, goof around with it a little bit. Good luck.
 
One thing for sure, Alexis tone is mid based, so crank em, bass ehh for my "COB" setup I don't use much of it, highs - cranked, gain...depends on alot of things. As it's been said before just mess around with the settings.

On a side note, is all this cob/alexi bashing shit getting old for anyone else? So they put out a bad album, so what? I like a song or two from it and while it's not even close to their best I can't say it's the worst album to come out, grow up, bashing the band won't help it and won't change anything, some of you, it seems to me, just bash them because everyone else is doing it.

Flame away, fuck if I care.

Beautifuly said. I'm really sick of it, too. A lot of the senior members have for the most part stopped, but there are a lot of noobs who try to score brownie points or something by bashing them, even if it sounds incredibly forced.
 
Alright, alright I admit I'm getting sick of the whole COB bashing thing, but COB never had good tone even prior to Are You Dead Yet? When I said "turn the shit knob to 10" I meant the gain knob. Turning the gain to 10 produces the kind of tone that COB uses, but doesn't necessarily sound good. Eventually you will realize that the key to getting a heavy tone isn't by going overboard with distortion.

i agree, yeah they put out a not so good album, who cares? alot of bands now have put out atleast 1 bad album, so do you go around and bash them for making a bad album?
