So how can one decide on the best EQ settings to get the ideal tone out of the guitar beside using a lengthy trial and error method?



If you know someone whose playing style is similar to yours, you may try getting them to play guitar while you adjust settings. That way you’d hear the adjustments in real time.

I’m not familiar with your amp, but I did notice there were some pretty heavy hitters endorsing it. John Abercrombie, Larry Coryell, etc.

I guess the question is whether you like the sound you are getting from it.

If you decide it’s not right for you, I’d recommend looking at the Roland JC-120. It’s in the same price range, but it’s probably more user friendly and versatile. I had one and loved it, but I ended up trading it and a Strat for a 1948 Gibson L7. It was the sweetest and cleanest sounding amp I’ve ever heard. Great for jazz. The only drawback was that it weighed a TON!

Good luck.
