What is Bass, Mid, Treble and Drive controls on your basic guitar amplifier. What are these controls and want differences do they make in your sound of guitar? What are the differences in volume should each knob be on for different sounds or do they even have to do with the sound? Please help me im a great guitarist after 5 months i just dont understand the controls very well.


Answer
Bass, Mid, Treble are levels. If you turn up the treble the higher pitches (sounds) become louder and more audible. If you turn up Bass the deeper and boomier pitches come through. Mid acts as an equilizer between both the high and low pitches. Drive is basically an effect included in many begginer guitar amps, It is a fuzzy sort of thing that usually is used for heavy metal of punk rock stuff. This usually works best with the basss and treble at high level.
