TS, playing with low gain and lots of mids will be very very weird at first. Stick with it for a bit though, maybe take the gain down incrementally as you get used to is, likewise with increasing the mids. Next time you rehearse with your band, walk to the front of the room and face back as you're playing - remember that the Orange cabs are very directional, and up close, the sound can be very different to the sound the audience hears.
If you're still not convinced, try making two recordings of your sound, one with your old, scooped settings, and one with plenty of mids and lower gain. Compare the two in a band mix, and you should find the non-scooped will punch through and have way more clarity.
At the end of the day though, it's your rig and your sound. If you simply prefer the sound of scooped mids, who are we to change your view. |
