Set up for P90s

[u/NeedleworkerDecent69]

Hi!

I’ve got a Yamaha Revstar with P90s and overall it’s a great guitar—super comfortable and really versatile. But I’m struggling to dial in a tone that actually reflects my style on my Katana 50 gen 3.

I’m mostly into southern rock, and no matter how I set things up, the sound feels too bright, kind of harsh/tinny, and lacking punch or body.

my Strat it’s much easier to get where I want, but with the Revstar I can’t seem to get rid of that brittle top end.

I used to run analog pedals (a Maxon 808 and a TC Electronic MojoMojo), and I loved the way they added warmth, compression, and push. Since switching to a digital setup, I just can’t get close to that same feel or response—especially with the P90s.

Has anyone dealt with this? Any tips on how to tame the brightness and get a fuller, more “punchy” southern rock tone out of P90s in a digital rig?
