My guitar amp is acting up when I using the amps distortion. I currently dont like the amps distortion so I use a foot pedal. Everytime I shred on my guitar the sound becomes blurry and I cant get my harmonics out either. I was thinking the speaker might be going out. How would I know? I have the Marshall Mg30 DFX amp.
Well if you want goo dpinch harmonics to squeal you need a decent amount of gain and good pickups. What guitar are you using, some lower model passive pickups have bad frequency response when you try to do pinch harmonics. If you have decent pickups I would say get a higher gain preamp and just run the amp on the clean channel. There a re tube preamp pedals out there that have masaive amounts of gain and they are reasonably priced. There are also so good amps out there for a decent price like the 6550 from peavey. I have a 5150 block letter and that thing can produce good pinch harmonics along with my EMGs. Good luck man, oh and there is nothing wrong with your amp, it is just time to move on. There is only so much you can do with solid state amplifiers in my opinion.
