Sloppy playing?

[BrandonJ]

Whenever I play guitar through my computer with Bias FX or through my Spider IV my lead work sounds decent, but whenever I play through my 6505+ it just sounds really muddy and choppy. How can I fix this issue? Really not sure why I’m having this problem.

Can you upload a video so I can see and hear the difference? I think I’d be able to help more that way.

you probably need to adjust your amp settings. I used to get this muddy sound from my VOX and I never knew how to fix it and thought that it’s just because of the amp but then I found a site which has a bunch of presets and when i changed my settings my sound suddenly became clear. I found this pdf file with some settings for your amp, it might help you. http://www.metalrecording.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/6505-5150-Settings.pdf

Maybe it has something to do with your settings. Like the bass is to high or something. Have you tried messing around with the settings yet?

Metronomes, they have taught me so much about lead playing and i’m sure that although it is mainly to do with the amp, if you practice the lead work with the 6505+ (Great choice btw) it will help you get used to the amp and how to deal with the change in sound. I started using a metronome about a week ago, after playing for 5+ years ans i cant believe i tried learning without it. But like I say with most of my posts to help people, I don’t know what stage you are at with your playing so this is just a general suggestion.
Hope this helps dude!

metronome is amazing.. I went a long time without it, and altho I think I always tapped to the beat or moved to the beat without knowing it, I didn’t really know the pace I was at.. such an improvement since I started playing with one 3 years ago.

I’ll use a metronome and see if it helps, it’s definitely not an amp issue though. Thank you for your input everyone.
