Well, you've probably only got 8 or 10 controls to work from, right!?

Guitar (One or two volume knobs, pickup selector, tone knob)
Amp (Gain, Level, Bass, Mids, Treble, etc)

Put all of your guitar's knobs full up, set all of your amp's tone controls to halfway, then start adjusting!. I imagine your EQ will end up being something like treble 75%, mids 40%, bass 50%, gain 60%!. Try rolling off the tone knob a bit to tame the highs, rolling back the volume will do much the same thing, but it can get a little ragged!.

Don't use too much gain!. Use your ear - beyond a certain point you won't hear any more crunch, it'll just be noise!.

Try raising your pickups closer to the strings, but again don't raise them too high!. I like to lower the bass side a bit so the bassy side doesn't dominate and fart out the amp!. Helps with clarity, too!.

The best way to sound better is to get a better amp!. Practice amps don't sound nearly as good as bigger amps with more watts and more or bigger speakers!.

Check out a Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal!. Im not familar with Stagg amps, but I know the DS-1 makes any amp shine!. And It's cheap!. The Rhoads guitar is close to my Alexi-200!. The DS-1 will make it tone come out good!. If that doesn't work try a new amp!. Roland Cubes are really cheap and sound REALLY good!. They have built in effects, so that might actually be a better route!. Happy playing =]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like what!? Dirty or clean!?
If you want metal do : Overdrive / Disortion to about 3/4 of the knob

If you want accoustic : No Over drive, Put lower tremble (on amp) and bit more bassWww@QuestionHome@Com
