Hello everybody,
I dont know if its an issue with my guitar setup itself or does it apply to everyone. I AM relatively new to guitar, have been self learning for about 3 months or so (no tutors or friends to help whatsoever), and currently using a Les Paul type (Rally GL-300) guitar together with the nux mighty 15 amp. Using gauge 0.09 strings (suspect this might be the problem)
The problem comes whenever i adjust my tone knob to somewhere lower than 6, and the higher frets (12 and above) the high E string, starts sounding kind of muted and soft, and distortion doesnt really come out. And it happens that most of the songs i like to practice on happens to need a lower tone setting, and i am playing on the higher frets. The higher i climb the frets, the more obvious it gets. The other strings are only slightly affected by this tone knob issue.
Even then, i adjust the tone knob to somewhere like 9 or 10, i can still hear the difference in volume between the lower and upper frets, but just not as serious as it was when the tone knob was at a lower point. It applies to both the bridge and neck tone knobs and using both as well.
Has anyone had this issue before or knows how to solve this problem?
Many thanks!
