Question: Settings on guitar amp!?
What's a clean kind of setting for a guitar amplifier!?

I'm kind of looking for a sound like the solo of "Hotel California" by Eagles, but really anything clean, with a bit of fuzz would be good!?

(Bass, Mid, Treble, etc!.)


--I have a Line 6 Spider III

Use the "metal" Channel!. If these settings aren't quite right, use the same settings on the "insane" channel and see if it works better!.

Turn the drive down to between 4-6 !. Bass 8-10!. Mid around 7-ish Treble 8-9!.

channel volume can be set to like 6!. Set the least amount of "phase" that you can dial in!. use the echo delay with very light echo with a semi slow tap rate!. also try it without any phase at all!. just delay!.

For some portions you want to use the neck position pickup for the more fuzzy parts, and hit the bridge pickup during the sharper accents!.

That should give you a sound that I think would be pretty close to the sound of the guitar solo for Hotel CAWww@QuestionHome@Com
