Thanks for watching guys. Just wanted to clarify one thing - this is just an approach, my personal approach to dialling in amp EQ, as per many requests on previous videos to do so. I feel some people have taken this like I’m saying this is ‘The’ way. Truth is there’s no right or wrong with this stuff. But I hoped the video might have been helpful in some way to some people struggling with their tone. Anyway, just wanted to clear it up. Thanks again for watching

It was definitely helpful, I never thought of turning up bass/treble as depth/presence goes down and vice versa, your tips and insight on tone have shaped my playing and sound for many years. Your ear for tone is unmatched man keep it up!! (and a video like this with the QC would be fantastic)

@AndyBarkerBass9 ай бұрын
I've noticed that there tends to be 2 broad camps for tone seekers; those that dial in their sound primarily for the bridge pickup and use the neck as a warmer or quieter version and those who dial in primarily for the neck and use the bridge as a more focused/punchier version. I fall into the latter (and tend to play voxy amps and low-medium gain rock) where the neck pickup snap is really important to me. Bea seems to be a bridge pickup guy which makes so much sense for the heavier tones he loves.

Something I never hear mentioned, but many old amps were designed for E standard or Eb tunings as almost nobody played in drop tunings or extended range 40+ years ago so vintage style amps sound 'best', still, in more conventional tunings...that's what they were designed for.

You were my inspiration to get a QC and I couldn't be happier with it!

Any difference is completely inaudible and not because of the wood itself but the vibration of other parts. It doesn't matter at all. As long as the string can vibrate freely and effect the magnetic field you have a sound and none of you would be able to discern anything different. Also it's not like woods species are some material that has no variance. It's a joke to talk about a piece of maple like another piece of maple would be alike. The variance is quite large, obviously.

What I am trying to figure out is: How to best track my guitar amp into my DAW. Do I just run a single, mono track? I tend to not get the slamming sound I do in the room. Is it better to mix it with an IR and dial each slightly Left and Right? I know when recording, it's best to record separate takes but what about single take recordings?? How do I get that MASSIVE sound I am hearing out of my guitar cab to reflect through my studio monitors?

Dialling in eq for live circumstances versus recording is something that is misunderstood. I remember seeing a fairly well known heavy uk hand and there was no mid range at all on their downtuned guitars. Their recordings were full of mids but live is was just bottom end and nothing else. I couldn't undertand it.

If it was a decent size venue it could be that he had o control of the sound people and the front of house. If you open for a big band too sometimes is pretty tough and you barely get any rehearsal or sound test at all. It's a shame but that's how it works out of the PA sometimes

@William_Earl9 ай бұрын
@@Burnt_Gerbil I'll agree that acoustic guitar pickups usually destroy any character a guitar has, but my experience with electric guitar pickups is a bit different. Different woods have different densities, causing the instrument to resonate or vibrate differently. In my experience softer woods usually have darker tones, and denser woods have brighter tones and are usually louder. Best video example of this would be Paul Reed Smith demonstrating wood resonance by simply tapping different boards. In my experience, I've even noticed something like Ibanez RG's both with EMG 81's (which make everything sound similar) sound different when one guitar is made of basswood and has a rosewood board vs the ash RG with an ebony board. Aside from tone wood, I've also noticed a difference in tone when it comes to fret material. Stainless steel having a brighter tone. Aristides material tends to resonate at a relatively high volume compared to wood guitars. IMO source tone matters, otherwise we wouldn't have so many options and guitar companies would find the cheapest, universal material. Just my two cents.

Wood does matter. There is a reason guitars meant for high gain do not have bodies made from super dense woods. You will never see hard maple or walnut used for the entire body of a high gain guitar. They have too much treble content. Mahogany and basswood are preferred in a high gain scenario. Of course tonewood selection is only a piece of the overall tone but choosing the correct wood makes a difference.
@clipfishcarsten9 ай бұрын
