I set everything at 11
"these goes to eleven..."
7senza Spinal Tap 😏
Gain at 21 tho
Your tactics scare and frightening me sir.
Why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number and make that a little louder?
As a tone noob this was actually really helpful; thanks!
i read it, "as a tone knob"
gosh what's wrong with my eyes

@srrt
Did Marshall just tell me to scoop my mids?
Invert Scrub yes
how else are you going to play pantera?
I know, right?
THis video triggers glenn fricker
They want your tone to be good
All knobs to the right for a swedish death metal sound
Nah cut mid and treble completly
@@EliseoCaporale you must be fun at parties
Mids and gain at 10 + bass and treble at 0 = Left Hand Path
@@ethann9433 Thanks that's good to know!
Make sure you guys turn on your amp first. I realized it after i spent hours Eq-ing with no result.
#quicktips
Ok thanks dude , i had the same issue
what a fucking idiot , thats like playing your x box without turning your tv on WTF ?
Bruh your guitar would be hella quiet
Thanks man I cant tell you how grateful I am
This tip saved me a lot of time, really appreciate it. 🤙
This video is a treasure because this is not only applicable to Marshall amps EQs but for pedals and other stuff that have a PASSIVE eq system.
You take out the highs and you get more mids, you level up the highs and the mids and the lows goes down. Very different that an active eq system.
Oh thank you Marshall. Now I can mix and master my whole new album. You are a nice guy Marshall

Todos los metaleros de la vieja escuela del mundo 😅
First time I ever wonder about this, I search for answers and immediately stumbled upon your video. You illustrate it so well bro, you're the best
I been searching many videos, and no one talk or explain as near good as this.
Salute
Thank you!
This really really helped deadass and gave me a good understanding
Great video, just what I needed!!
Here are my eq settings for my marshall mg30gfx
Gain - 6-7
Bass - 6-7
Middle - 7-8
Treble - 5-6
Reverb - Optional
Effects - Optional (i sometimes use the delay effect and a wah pedal)
Volume - 7
And Master - Optional
I use this for my fender strat and epiphone slash les paul to get a dirty 80's tone. Feel free to use these settings on any amp. I wish you good luck with these settings.

Is the Marshall Mg30gfx a decent amp. I've found an updated version for around £90 in excellent condition. Quite tempted to make the purchase.
@@anthonyvaccari4607 it's mainly good for beginners learning the guitar and wanting a quick and easy Marshall sound in a studio. Although for gigs and live I'd probably get a DSL or something with a bit more volume. With that though I love the amp and it has a lot of versatility and it's great for blues, jazz and classic rock. If you have single coil guitars it's also good for crunchy and clean tones. If you have a humbuckers guitar it's great for hard rock and classic metal sounds. Hope that helps :)
High mids and low treble will almost always sound awesome on a Marshall amp
This is the most helpful video I have found! Thank you!
I just got a Marshall mg15r and my setup is this
Gain 1.5
Volume 6
Bass 4
Midle 6
Treble 7
Reverb 0
It is the configuration that I did at the moment, I have not had a day with this amplifier so I am just trying this configuration, I still like how it sounds
When you adjust the volume knob to the left you have minimum sound. All the way to to right you have maximum sound.
I thought it was the other way around?
Does this work in 2023?
I've never known quite what all of these knobs mean, but as far as sound goes I seem to like the treble and gains really high, the mids as low as possible while having the bass at maybe 1/3rd the way or maybe half way. I just love the sharp, cutting sound it produces. It's thrashy and crunchy and tremolo picking and pinch harmonics sound better to my ear that way as well.
Well then, allow me to educate you a little.
The each of the eq controls cover a large section of the frequency spectrum, the guitar happens to live in the mid range section of the frequency spectrum, not the bass end or the treble end. By turning the mids down, you're reducing the body of the guitar's frequencies. It's like having a blind spot in your vision.
Now playing in a band with those settings will result in your guitar being nearly inaudible. Turning up the mids will put you in the correct part of the frequency, and sound thicker, and give the guitar a big boost in perceived volume.
There is such a thing as having too much too, too much treble results in a thinner buzzy tone, too much bass makes your guitar boomy, too much gain reduces clarity, to the point you can't tell what you're playing or even the kind of guitar and pickups and all that.
@@rebeccabailey527 William never asked to be "educated" so your advice was unsolicited. Guitar tone is a matter of personal preference, that's it.
@@rebeccabailey527 Dimebag Darrell wanna talk with you
Wow thanks! Even as a bass player, this was really helpful!
I keep coming back to this video to show people.
The Presence control isn't part of the Bass/Middle/Treble "tone stack" but works off the negative feedback loop in your tube amps power section; it controls the very high frequencies and adds more sizzle in the distortion.
Presence also acting as tilt EQ, reducing low mids while shelving the mids and highs while adding some distortion to the sound.
For bright and smooth distortion, try set the treble lower and the presence higher. This will reduce the upper mids hashness while making overall tone musically brighter and clearer.
What type of amp is this??? Eq on every marshall amp dont work the same like in this explanation
fedboy21 a Marshall, of course. It’s the Marshall channel.
Don't they, though?
anything will affect the tone, your guitar, strings, cables even your pick
mine is an old ass, small ass cube amp that only has those 3 settings, so this was helpful
That’s how every eq works
Boosting the mids are always nice,
Especially for Stoner rock.
My amp as only got bass an treble an there both set at 1:o'clock an u can hear every single sound clear as anything it's bang on I've ad my amp a few years now an I just messed around with them until I got the sound perfect I play bassline drum n bass dubstep hardcore music like that an there all sound amazing with the settings I set my amp to
Love the Marshall DSL's and JCM 800 Studio
Love my MARSHALL!!!
Cool advice , great stuff them Marshall things
I usually have bass almost at full, mids on full and treble usually less than half
Amazing video
Like the eq in software, when you dialing the mid ,the bass somehow increased as well,
when doing fingerstyle cover like last christmas, or like pop songs. What are your recommended settings for middle trebble and bass? can someone share? thanks
this was a big help. now can someone explain how to use a steering wheel?
Turn to left it goes left. Turn to right it goes right. I think this should help.
Thank you. Ngl, I always just messed around until I found something I liked. Never really understood it too much. Great to learn though.
My setting is turn all the knob to the right (exclude reverb).
GR8 VIDEO...BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO ONE MORE, EXPLAINING THE 4 KNOB EQ SETTINGS, INCLUDING THE " HIGH MID " AND THE " LOW MID " OPTIONS...
My mate gave me his dads old Marshall MG30FX, had it for 2 months now. I use the same settings for almost every amp at my school too
Gain: 10
Bass: 7
Mids: 3
Treble: 7
I’m a Rhythm Guitarist (James Hetfield wannabe) and I find scooping the mids gives me a great metal tone. Thinking of upgrading my Fender Strat to a Jackson Kelly or JS series Dinky
Woah my amplifier only comes 2 knobs (bass and treble) for the settings I can adjust in the EQ
On my 2525H I go with these settings
Presence:6.5
Bass:7-7.5
Mids:7-8
Treble:5-6
Master:4-5
Lead Master:Cranked
Input Gain:Cranked
Sometimes I dialed the lead master and input gain both to about 7 and use a GE-7 as a boost.
How do you get deeper tones without cutting into the sustain on the higher strings? It seems like my lower strings ring out more, but the higher ones get cut short. I used my boss distortion pedal to increase the volume on my output and the helped a little. But my lower strings still go on for ages while the highers although have more sustain and sound deeper, dont ring out as much.
i wish i had seen something like this when i was starting
It was the Standby Switch for me! Damn!
0:54 Ah! the "You're fired" setting.
Hi marshall does the marshall stockwell 2 compatible with an electric guitar
I am greaful for this video 📹 thank you..
Here are some more very useful tips! Volume knob - adjusts the volume. The on-off button can turn the amplifier on and off. 😉
Funk tones for Marshall Origin 20c ?
I see what you did with that thumbnail..... and all i can remember is “Nooo mids, all the GAIN!”
My struggle is that everything plays off each other so you can't really individually set something. Say B and T are 12, and i decide that in this point the sweet spot for M is 3. But now say when i change T around to find the sweet spot suddenly the M is no longer in the sweet spot now. It was only the sweet spot when the other two were 12 but thats not "my sound"
there is no such thing as a perfect sound just different
Hi Corey, i’m a little late but if you still have these problems I would advise bringing your M back up to 12 and then changing the T around to find the sweet spot of the T while the M and B are at 12 so that way you can individually set all three eq settings and once you are happy w your B and T then just bring your M back to 3.
How can I control it to sound like metal?
Hey does anyone know how to res tsettings to get those sounds That they make?
Isn‘t the EQ on Marshall amps passive, so that the starting point would be at 10 and then attenuating from there? Could you help me out here? Cheers!
Oh yeah and there's a thing called a cord with a plug on the end that goes into the wall outlet the thing on the wall with the little holes and be careful! You don't want to plug into the wrong hole without protection.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Good Explained
Thank You, Terima kasih!!!
May I ask how to adjust to get flat tone?
i set everything on 12, and HM-2 on everything 5
On my 79 jmp I just leave everything at max, and volume 1 and 2 at halfway
but does it go up to 11
Overdrivw chanel, set bass 0 and push mid, trible: early joy division tone
I set the mid to the maximum. And the treble at 1 o'clock
I basically agree, would rather sacrifice bass in favor to cleaner sound
@@installshieldwizard3017 some times I boosted mid freq too. And add the treble at 2.30 o'clock
What shall I do for gain
Thanks
My amp is set like this:
Bass - 5
Middle - 2
Treble - 6
Thank you so much for this!!
Wow never know about that..
I like my details, wish we had demos at 5 also; not just 0 and 10
Which Marshall was used for this demo?
Mine has an extra knob called "volume", isn't that cool?
I never realized those knobs could be turned.
using words like richer, warmer, brighter....to explain tone is far too subjective to what a persons own identification to those labels are. warmer to some might actually be thought of as muddy. Brighter to me on guitar means spanky or quacky, if its too much. all those are, is words for marketing, not your own ears. My preference seems to be treble at 1 oclock, mids at 10 o clock bass at 2 or lil higher on dsl401 od2 channel with 2018 explorer elite and 2015 LP studio. Any good suggestions for improving that, not that its not good, just could it be better? for just the eq part anyway, the rest of my tone from after that is not what im asking. just those 3 eq settings what do u use. i play hard rock not thrash, or grunge. - rhoads influenced madman over blizzard
Be like Eddie and put everything on max!
You mean be like every single person who has ever played a Marshall...
@@yargnad cant agrue with the best, can you??
I use
Bass: 10
Mids: 7
Treble: 4.5
Gain: 7.5
How’s it sound man? Got my first Marshall recently and playing a Les Paul through it and it’s hard dialing in the right tone for me… Amp is good but I’ve mainly been an acoustic player so getting back into the electric world is a headache lol
@@shayh.3556 its actually really worked out for me! I have thst tone with Marshall amps but I occasionally use fender amps too with thst same tone dial
@@ianlongshore preciate the reply bro! I’ll give it a shot and mess around with my Les Paul dials to if need be.
train kept a rollin' at the beginning
More pls.
Gain 11, treble 11, mids -11, bass 11, volume 69
Rock On! 🇬🇧
Metal settings?
Wish you would have played the tracks back-to-back without interruption. I was listening for a subtle difference between the two tracks but your voice cleared it from RAM. Still a great video and very much appreciated.
Thank you for the feedback!
How about gain?
thanks u
*screams in stoner/doom*
Why do doom bands put everything at 10? (I listen to/play a lot of doom so I wanna know how to get a good tone)
For those of you who read comments before you watch the video, let save you a little time. Just do what you have been doing since you bought your amplifier. Play with the knobs until you like it. You're welcome.
I set B 10, M 6, T 1
No matter how I turned the knobs I still cant play a single chord correctly. So I just leave it all at 0.
So, it's basically the "low", "middle" and "hight" frequencies setting buttons. Then why call the last one "treble" ? Is there a specific reason or is it just to sound cool ?
(Or perhaps I just didn't understood anything)
Aureldocks treble comes from "treble clef" the clef for Violin/Soprano voice = High frequency range
@@fabiobadano-bad-composer5075 thx, so there is a specific reason... to make it sound cool ^^
“Bass” and “treble” are more specific than “low” and “high” because they mean “low pitch” and “high pitch”.
(And Fabio has it backwards. “Treble” doesn’t mean “high pitch” because of the G clef is called the “treble clef”. The G clef is called the “treble clef” because it represents they higher pitches.)
WTF MAN!!!! THATS MY BRAND!!!!!1
Oh wow man.😃
I always make a V
Anyone know how to set up a good metal tone?
Depends on what type of metal you’re going for. I’m decently versed in thrash and British heavy metal, and have a mediocre understanding for more modern stuff.
Thrash, next to no mids, treble around 6 or so, a little bit less bass than treble. Think Slayer, Metallica, Pantera. All very scooped mids.
British heavy metal, lots of mids, treble around 6, bass around 5. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, hell this even works for Motörhead
Once you get to more modern stuff, (black, death, nu, etc) I find lots of bass and treble with the mids around 5 works nicely.
@@Wolfoe-ex2jj I figured it out eventually, but thanks a lot for your help
Boss HM-2. Get 7 of them.
depends on one thing...a metal tone for you in your bedroom, or a metal tone for you with a band. That is 2 complete different things
All the gain no mid
basic is the understatement of the millenia
Thanks that was helpful
yeaaaaah scoop ur mids getcha pull
Basically, youre promoting Scooped Mids...
along with CLEAN CHANNEL, CHEAP DRIVE PEDAL, ALL THE GAINN!! ALL THE GAIN!!!!...
no mids...
ALL THE GAINNN!!! SLAYERRR!!!
this video did more than hundreds of forums post ever did lol
Basic... missing "presence" control .
Most amps don't have that
ThornInTheEye Perhaps, but most of the famous Marshall amps do. The Plexi, 800, Jubilee, 900, DSL, and JVM all have a presence on them.
No mids! Treble and bass all up!! Gain at 11!!
Hail Dimebag!!
I generally do that except I put the bass more at half way.
I usually turn the bass all the way off.
lmao im holding my guitar then i was looking for my amplifier then ive noticed some dots and a straight line in my backgroud which i didnt thought it was from the video fuckin scared the shit out of me
I can't hear any big difference when using the Marshall amp in live setting. It's still so bright even if the kigh is at zero. Maybe the amp needs mods. 😂 Btw i love the recorded sound of a Marshall amp sounds alot better than live. 😂
@Fabian Ansteg yes but the only noticeable difference is it becomes brighter or muddy, i just cant hear alot of difference when listening to it live vs recorded. Or maybe the amp is already broken. It's the church amp btw not mine.
