trying to get a nice warm bluesy gary moore tone with this and the les paul but am really starting to streuggle....theres not enough BITE or midrange/top clarity....Is this the nature of the amp..Ive had a marshall before and hated it. Not sure what im doing worng or maybe I just bought £3000s worth of the wrong kinda guitar gear.
heres what im aiming for but without a marshall...or 59 LP. Who thinks that is possible???

my settings are approx
bass -12
mid - 3.30/4
treble - 4
gain - 12.30
pres - 3.30
master - 12
output - 8.30/9
SET TO SPONGY MODE WITH VACUUM RECTIFIERS
Ive tried raw across the channels and clean pushed....seems to lack warmth
vintage mode on ch2 i drop the mids back to around 1-2pm
maxon settings is gain off, level 12 and tone at 10pm
this is ch3 in vintage mode as theres a little more top end available..
ch2 vintage is warmer but loses the clarity
ch3 is too cold but has more cut
im struggling with it
the maxon really helped a lot but still......not right yet
les paul is a 97 standard with low output handwound bareknuckle stormy monday in bridge, oil and paper cap mod, wired 50s style
I played it loud for the 1st time at a practice...wasnt that loud really but it sounded horrid.
anymore suggestions?
