I am having trouble getting "that sound" for my songs. I have not done a whole lot of work with effects so needless to say I am fairly lost at the moment.

I am trying to get a nice soft bluesy chord tone with a sleight overdrive effect. The problem I am running into is that when playing full chords my sound is either too tinny, too bassy, or too overpwering... I just cannot find that happy medium sound. My hammer on are all muddled as well.\\

My pedals in order go Overdrive -> digital delay -> Equilizer.

I have been using my Gretch Electromatic Semi-hollow, but have been wondering if I might get a better sound for my rythym track from my Takamine acoustic or my silverton electric.\\

But without knowing how to set my pedals I don't think it would make much of a difference.

Or should I record with no effect and just add what I want with sonar?

Thanks in advance\M~
