Im having a bit of trouble getting a good leading tone out of this amp. Ive gotten a pretty good high gain rhythm though. Any suggestions?
Erotomaniac1928 said:The problem with the gt-6, is that when using the 4CM the "external" function is in the distortion/OD section (instead of the preamp section where it makes sense). because of that, I have no access to the gt's distortions when using the DC's preamp. I hope I dont have to get an external pedal just to add that extra "thickness" to the gain. I may just get a gt8 instead. That, or rack fx with a midi footcontroller.

The DC's compress quite a bit when you get them up to band volumes and as such they're really smooth for that sort of thing. I generally dial in my rhythm sound without the EQ and then bump the mids with the EQ for a lead boost.
Remember, Tube amps like to be loud.
