To those who play EBMM's through Fender Devilles

[hedkutter18]

I want to know how that combo sounds. I was telling the other guitar player about the ASS that I want the other day and I got to wondering how it sounds through the fender. I know the guitar plays exceedingly well, I'm just worried that the tone may sound too thin or "wimpy". I'm going for a slightly fuzzed not TOO heavy distortion while being able to get a punchy clean.

Any advice you all could give me? Mainly I'm battling between getting a Silo or ASS (my first choice).

Well My Sound/Setting Through It Comes Soso Close To Steve Morse Its The Only One I Have Used So Far, But You Would Have To Try The Amp Out For Your Self, But I Love It!

I really like my 4x10 deville, its great. I keep tyring other maps but its clean channel just suits me so well, for gigs anyway, at home its too loud.

The Fender DeVilles are a very common amp used in the classrooms up here at Berklee College of Music, and at first I hated them because I didn't understand them.. but, I've found that with a little tweaking you can get great tones out of them for anything from hard rock to country, blues, and jazz.

I think that it would be a fine choice to make, my friend!

Thanks for the replies you guys! I already have the deville, just not the ball. I'm playing a strat and, though it sound alright, the tone (especially on the high strings) is a bit too thin. I think an ASS would add much needed depth and punch. Being able to properly reach the upper frets would be nice as well...

When I do get my ball (hopefully soon), I plan on upgrading from the fender to a MESA Roadster. Well, at least after I purchase another Ball anyway...

Again, thank you guys so much.

Don't overdue it with the presence control. My favorite setting is having the presence at zero.
