In this video Daniel and Mick explore some basic concepts around getting a better solo tone.

What is a better solo tone? Obviously it’s an extremely subjective topic once you bring personal likes/dislikes into play, but the one thing on which we can all surely agree is that as a very basic start point, a good solo tone begins with ‘one that can be heard’.
By contrast a ‘bad’ solo tone is one that can’t be heard, and there are many of us who have been in that situation where you step on the next pedal to make your tone soar… only to find that it just crashes! That is where we begin.

Throughout the video we touch on the areas of gain, EQ and relative wetness of your effects in the context of being heard for that all important solo.
