I 100% agree with this fellow about boosting mids. That scooped mids tone sounds great in the bedroom playing by yourself, but in a band situation you need to boost your mids or nobody will hear you no matter how loud you crank your amp. The drums and bass will bury you.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277153 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277112 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:31:30 +0000
I've never had mine out of open g tuning. I'm tempted to try it out though. Heck, Sam Ash is having one of those 20% off one item, 5 hour sales later today. Ya never know....

cnev: Yup, I remember that song. Pretty good tune.

Wes is sure all knowledgable in the tone department.

I also like those pedal power supplies too. When I first got into pedals, I figured one of those was a no-brainer.]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277112 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277109 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 16:49:31 +0000
It's like a revelation when you finally dial in a tone you like. I haven't spend alot of time tweaking my tone...well actually like zero and I almost never like what I hear when I'm playing, but I jam with Wes when he can make it over and he is a tone junky so he always tweaks my amp's etc and gets me a decent tone but I never right them down and up until the last few weeks cahnged what I used for effects constsantly mostly using none since I hated the batteries going dead on my pedals. i bought one of those One-spot things to power my pedals so from now on I will use them all the time.

I did finally dial in something decent last Friday all by myself (I'm so proud) and I'll see if I can repeat it or maybe improve on it tomorrow.

The problem well it's not really a problem is we play such a wide variety of songs I haven't even tried tweaking the sounds for each. Like last Friday we played Enter Sandman, then we played Tighten Up (remember Archie Bell and the Drells) then ZZ Top, then a John Lee Hooker blues song Boom Boom, then some Kenny Wayne Shepard Blue on Black..

I never heard the Blue on Black song before but it's a really cool tune if you haven't heard it check it out.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277109 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277100 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:52:48 +0000 for all my lap steel work I turn the treble down quite a bit. depending on the room I am in , it can be very low (3). I have the bass up at 6 or 7. I do this becaue the high end on the lap steel sounds harsh. rolling off the treble mellows it perfectly.
conversely, when I have a tle plugged in I have my treble and bass both straight up.
with my EQ pedal with five freqs. same thing. only I like my mids up a bit above flat. I dont care for those scooped mids; the V shape. but then I dont play metal or shred.
just carefully listen to your sound when playing with the dial or sliders. take notes. record yourself and listen to how that sounds. remember too, it is hard to be objective. and my ears or mood changes. so be flexible.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277100 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277087 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:54:17 +0000
Thanks! This is a thread from a few months ago. Wes and others gave some good insight. Just keep in mind that different amps will sound, well, different. I started with what Wes gave me and adjusted to sound good on mine. https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=35356]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277087 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/man-it-was-sounding-really-good-the-other-night/#post-277086 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:27:57 +0000
