What sounds good in the bedroom is not what sounds good with a band. The mega distorted scooped sound that sounds good when you play by yourself will get eaten up by the bass, kick and cymbals with you band.

I use the same set-up live and studio it sounds great on both and has for the 13 years I’ve played just fiddle with the bass/trebble as you get louder

turn your volume up all the way and use your master as the volume(if you know what I mean), this gives you a thunderous distorted sound to get ‘the hands down the strings’ thing andy used on troublegum alot.
Of course they were clever in the studio too, using open chords to back the power chords, where possible- this gives you that, played by satan himself type of noise :D

Aye…I’m in a band called Needless.
We cover Potato Junkie, Nowhere, Die Laughin, Scream Ager, Opal Mantra and we also do Breakin The Law by Priest the way T? done it!!
We’re not a Therapy? cover band, honest!!
The music scene in Newcastle, for our type of stuff at least,is terrible we’re ‘goin’ nowhere’ fast :-(

If you try lifting your cab’ off the floor like on a beer crate(newcastle brown ale crates are best, send me the bottles ;) )
Coz floors sap some frequencies out of your sound and it’ll travel a bit better too.

To get the BIG guitar sound like Troublegum, use lots of distortion/overdrive and lots of chorus

hope this helped
