I like Fenders. . . so brighter amps. Though I don’t run them super bright. I don’t roll off my tone on my guitar. I turn up the treble on the amp til I can’t stand it, then I turn it down a bit.

I like amps where i don’t have to drastically make miracles with the EQ… my Tele is very bright and when it comes to EQ on my VC30, the EQ is almost straight

bass 12 o’clock, middle 1, treble 12

if the amp is bright as some of the fenders are, i rather turn the treble down a bit if i like the overall response of the amp.

however it depends on the guitar, too… I played 4 Fender tele’s into the same fender blues deluxe without any change of the straight EQ and some of them were like… plug and play there was no need to change anything. Some of them weren’t so cool, tho

I’m a treble addict (I have a Germanium OD AND a Screaming Bird for goodness sake!)

Then again, I play a Les Paul. I would hate to hear my set up through a strat!

I like to keep my amp bright and roll my tone, it gives me a little more options

I have recently changed my rig drastically, from a Les Paul into an Orange R-30 a very dark sounding rig that I was always trying to wring more treble out of, to a fantastic Epiphone Firebird VII with 3 mini-humbuckers into a vintage Musicman RD-50 amp a markedly brighter sound from both guitar and amp. I struggled with too much treble for a while, but when I dialed the eq in with the treble rolled off it effected the gain structure and presence too much. After dialing in my Black Finger compressor I found the rig sounded best on the bright channel with the treble rolled nearly all the way down and the bass on 8….a nice balance now.

A couple of months ago I got my my tele deluxe. Yes it’s bright but it has humbuckers for a change, very singlecoilish humbuckers not as much pickup output as I expected
