Different players amp settings

[stratznhatz]

I was talking to the guitar player in a local rock band that I get to see occaisionally. I asked to look at his amp and noticed he had the bass turned right down full and the mid and treble way up. When I questioned this he said that he always runs his amps like this as something about the way he plays adds a lot of bass to his tone. I tend to add treble, so I usually have the treble and presence backed off, the bass up past halfway and the mid about 3 o'clock. I know the majority of tone is down to the player, but I was surprised at the stark contrast in our settings to get good tone. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I'm scooped mids kinda guy myself.

Yeah, I love that scooped metal tone, but I find when playing with a full band, especially with two guitars, that I get lost in the mix if I scoop the mids too much.

Depending on which guitar I'm using (with which pickups) I'm usually sititng around -

Bass = Noon
Mids = 3 o'clock
Treb = 3 o'clock

My Peavey 2X12 is very bassy anyway. I run it with no bass or bass on about 2 on the dial at most (7 o clock), mids at maybe 3 o'clock or more and treble at 4 or three o'clock depending on guitar.

In general, before I start adding effects, I run
Bass around 50%
Mids around 20-30%
Highs around 60%
