Amp - Banks - Set up

Hi Mike,

Love your lessons, your sounds and direction!

I especially like your gear and tone sections on your videos. When I was learning tunes and starting out, you gave great direction. Now I am trying new things and trying to figure things out for myself. This leads me to my question.

My amp has banks, and banks within those banks. Any tips on how to organize those banks? I believe it sould depend on what type of music you play... if you are working on music across a few genres, would it be better to set up a clean channel with various effects on that... then a crunch... various effects on that... and so on?

Just need a little direction on how to organize my banks....

Again, thanks for all you have taught me so far!

Hey there, thank you for the kind words!!

You can set up the banks in many ways - there are no rules!! Whatever makes the most sense for your situation.

For example, a gigging guitarist might organize banks into song lists - and have specific presets programmed for every song they play.

You've brought up 2 great examples of how to organize banks - and either can work great! As you mentioned, you could set up banks based on genre, or by type of sound (clean, crunch, lead, etc).

Another idea is to use one bank as your main bank with all of your most commonly used presets organized into it.

It really comes down to what makes the most sense for what you are doing. I hope this helps - let me know how it goes!!

Mike

Thanks Mike!

Im sure it will take a few tries before I get it just right.

Off to work on a lesson!
