I've tried various tone settings by starting with everything set a 5 and then tweeky up the high and mid and lowering the bass but I just can't dial it in. So I just want to know if you could help me how do I set up the tone for a Marshall JCM 2000 using a Marshall 1960A cab plugged in by a Gibson Les Paul 1960 guitar to get a sound that is not muddy and has that airy Jazz tone found in Steely Dan. Please advice me any initial settings to begin with(??) I need it for my guitar lessons (http://www.guitarists.net/guitar_lessons/)...
Thanks.

Since the topic of the original thread (MIDI controllers) won't help much, I'm moving this thread to "General music questions" area. You also may want to try some of the ubiquitous guitar player forums out there. Les Pauls should be a well-known among them, and I'm sure you could get better help. Unless we've got some "closet rockers" here (which is definitely always a possibility :) )

ttfn,
