I've recently started a new band (I'm the drummer hence the newb post) and we're going to be doing Ska Punk. I'm playing around with my amp modelling software, trying to get the best clean ska punk tone so I can give my guitarist (also a newb, well to the genre ne way) some advice.
So, lets pretend money is no object. From guitar, to effects to amp, what would be the ideal? Be as specific as poss, even down to amp settings. At the moment I'm using a Tele copy into my computer, simulating a Clean Marshall with bass at about 4ish, mids up around 7 or 8 and treble around 6. I've got a little bit of verb on there and been messing with an eq pedal, small amounts of gain and a compression pedal, but I can't quite get the perfect sound.
I'm playing ska style chords, keeping it all very staccato with the right rhythm, but it just never sounds a little bit weak.
Again, apologies if this is dumb question, but I'm self taught on the guitar, so I'm not very knowledgible on amps, effects etc.
