Yup, I would have loved to have had access to that video about a year ago - it would have saved the band so much time.
Thanks for your reply re my issue. In reply: the guitar amp is never going to be lowered down: it's about the right level for the drums. The guitarist wouldn't go down the amp modelling route, and to be fair, his tone is brilliant so I wouldn't want him to.
Will try different tips, and yeah, I think customs may be the only viable solution, unfortunately for me.
