Author: guitar amp question: What is the difference between treble and tone?
Im thinking of buying an amp that does not have treble(Peavey vypyr30) and maybe i’ll buy a distortion pedal(Boss DS1) that has a tone knob. And i really want to change the treble.
So is treble and tone the same thing or not, if not what’s the difference?
Hello! In relation to an amplifier, tone is your overall guitar sound, and treble (or "high") is one major component of the tone. Other components would include mid-range and bass (or "low"). I am not understanding why you are concerned with the Peavey Vypyr 30 amplifier, as it has all three ranges of adjustment available (labeled low, mid, and high). See http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/03584290_4.pdf for more details. This is a modeling amplifier, complete with a selection of pedals and amps; you will probably find that you do not need any external effects (at least for a while!). Best regards, Dana

Treble and tone is the same thing. Treble makes the sound clearer and bass makes it deeper and more mellow. All amps come with tone controls. If you don’t want to sue them, turn them off but be advised that the guitar sound will be crappy.
Just a thought …
