How To Dial In The Perfect Clean Guitar Tone
►► A Beginner’s Guide To Ambient Guitar: Free Mini-Course ????

In this video, I’m going to show you how to craft a beautiful clean tone on guitar.
This must be the question I’ve been asked the most over the years: ”what are your settings for your clean tone?”. It was about time I made a full video on it!
It’s all about understanding the role of the gain knob vs. the master volume knob on your amplifier and dialing them in to their perfect sweet spot.
I’m also going to talk about all details surrounding your clean tone:
– Should you use an FX Loop?
– How to play in stereo
– Delay and reverb settings to enhance your clean tone.
Hope it’s going to be useful!

If there's a mid knob what's the best position for it?
Wow, I never thought of looking at it from Right to Left despite it seeming so intuitive. Great points here !
Merci mon cousin français lol
superb well done info's, thank you
Exelente!! ????????????
Omg, i just bought a tube amp with this kind of layout and i really liked the clean tone, now i can get even better tone with this knowledge, thank you so much!
On the Back of Angels, I can tell you are dream theater fan, beautiful tone and great info, awesome video. cheers.
beautiful clean, very helpful i just bought strat
In relation to the performance of 50w valve amps-could you use a volume pedal in line to the speaker?
With this I tried some stuff on the Helix LT. ????
Beautiful tone and great lesson. Im really into dream pop, goth and post punk on guitar, so I will be applying this to my playing. Thanks!
What vox amp is this?
What other amps do you suggest for this style? I’m thinking of getting some kind of Hiwatt. But, open to other things too.
This is super helpful, a collection of tips I know but forget, great to have this info in one place. Thanks! (P.S and a looping masterclass on the end too ????)
Thank you sir
Very helpful, thank you!
awesome!!!
These pens are quite sensitive. I don’t know why they decided to do this, but in my opinion it’s not very convenient
I'll try it on my BOSS Katana, thanks ????
This seems so simple, but when I am using pedals, etc., I often forget all about this and start chasing the wrong problem when something else is creating the dirt! I need to rewatch this video about once a week!
What I love a lot is to mix your approach but then add another guitar with a mild overd4ive before (e.g. sunset germanium) but then dial back input Volume. That is gonna be still super clran but contrasts because it is compressed and warm
Important stuff!
I do this with an Orange Tiny Terror and it is glorious for pedals. Master on full and use the preamp to set volume. I get just the essence of power tube distortion and it’s magical. Running it into an alnico Jensen loaded 112.
GM my friend! Thank you for another wonderful video!????????
