Middle: this is the mid range level of you guitar, and is the dial that is probably the most important when you’re playing live in terms of making your sound cut through all the other instruments, but is also probably the most misunderstood of the dials. But be aware that this will take some of the attack out of your sound, so people looking for a more aggressive sound may want to turn it up if you’re playing something like Pantera or Slayer. If you are going for a thick chocolaty, metal kind of sound then you may want to turn the treble down slightly. Turning it down will make you guitar sound ‘mushy’ or ‘soft’ as this takes all of the sharpness out of the sound. Your guitar’s higher frequency sounds will be mixed into its overall sound more. When you turn the treble right up, then the very subtle scrapes and plucks you make when you hit the strings will be more pronounced and each note you play will sound a little bit more ‘sudden’ if you understand what I mean.

We are the ones who create the backdrop to people's childhoods, from games to films to concerts and to lullabyes. We are the people who give thousands the morale strength to see another day through. Whatever the words may be, through music we can speak them more articulately than any world leader, more inspiringly than any artist, and give it the sheer presence and lasting impact of the legends that inspired us to first pick up our instruments. Regardless of how we choose to write our music, what cannot be ignored is the fact that it will always have our own personal stamp, an unconcious mark to say that this was what we created, and that can now be heard virtually anywhere on the planet. In music, there is the inherent ability to take any feeling that I possess and give it a tangable force to be heard sometimes that message has to be shouted, and sometimes it has to be whispered. Because of this I withdrew from a lot of social scenarios because of what I can only describe as a pure sense of dissappointment in the poeple I was presented with more often than not.
