On a bit of an side topic, would this (Rockabilly and/or the song I mentioned) be best reproduced using single-coils or Humbuckers?
The flatwound strings should go - what you gain in not having the squeaky sound when you slide up the strings you lose in tone. Is this in reference to Rockabilly or in general? Everyone has their preferences, and your ear is much more highly evolved than mine ever will be, but I really enjoy flatwounds. I use them on two guitars - one solid-body and one hollow-body - and I think the tone from them is really pretty and/or Jazzy. Hmmmm, perhaps I answered my question myself. Pretty and/or Jazzy not equal rockabilly. :?:]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rockabilly-settings/#post-371246 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rockabilly-settings/#post-371159 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:38:20 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Oldskoolrob https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rockabilly-settings/#post-371159 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rockabilly-settings/#post-370598 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:30:26 +0000 Single repeat, short delay. The rockabilly sound grew out of the original tape echo units, which can't produce reverb.]]> Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rockabilly-settings/#post-370598 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rockabilly-settings/#post-370597 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:01:39 +0000
Plenty of treble, a good dollop of bass, scoop the mids, dump the delay and use reverb instead. Twiddle the gain control on the clean channel until you get the sound you want. If you can't tweak the gain on clean, then start on a lower setting in overdrive but increase the volume.
