guitar/ amp question

[PunkSteve]

hey,

i have a Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar, & a Line 6 Spider III Amp (30Watt)....

is this a good combination??

because the amp is sort of like a metal amp.....


im not really sure!!

& also, with this combo, can i get a good punk-rock sum41 sound??

thanks!

Hey i've got basically the same setup:

Gisbon les paul standard with a 15W line 6 spider III.

what i do is i put it on metal, lower the drive to half so it's pointing north and also the same with bass. Crank up the middle but not all the way, just a tad back and the treble pointing to the east. I get pretty good punk sound out of it.

Sounds like a decent combination if you want a punk rock sound. Experiment with "Crunch" too, supposedly it's based on the '68 Marshall Plexi 50 Watt. Marshall's are usually was Deryck uses live.

thanks a lot guys :)

il try the setting out later, ive only had this set up for a little while, so im just getting used to it :) i usually just use it on insane, with full treble, no bass or mid, & full drive!



also, another question,... i usually put my guitars settings (the 2 vol, 2tone) all on full... & im not really sure on what difference they make to the sound..apart form the volume of course.... any advce?? thanks...


and finally.. when im doing a song with PM'd power chords (e.g. greenday-basketcase) , how am i to get that sound?? 'cause when i play it, theres a lot of noise in between each pick strum...


thanks again!!
