Ok,
I realize this is a newbie question and might sound vague, but I'll give it a shot.
I am playing in a cover band in a few local shows. Anyways, my gear is old and sounds pretty shitty.
I'm playing a Mexi strat with a moderately worn Hot-Rod Deluxe through a DigiTech RP350 multi-effects pedal. The problem I'm getting is that it is too noisy, scratchy, unclear and piercing almost.
The best I can describe it is that every song sounds like "All my Life" by Foo Fighers. I'm looking for more of a crisp, clear hard sound, sort of like some Blink-182, Nirvana Nevermind, and some Joe Perry.
I'm doing Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Greenday, basically face melt party rock, and playing lead on all, and need to get a crisper sound.
Is there a way I can tune my amp, or tune my effects box or guitar to get a more vibrant, more defined sound?
I dont know if this even makes sense, but any help is really appreciated.
