How to Get Great Guitar Tones - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi there, I get asked all the time about my guitar tone. People wonder why my 'clean tone' isn't that clean. Here is an explanation of the sound I like to use on my tube/valve amps. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren

[@davetamayo4075]

+Produce Like A Pro what is your #1 favorite mic absolute #1 iknow thyre all diff for diff ideas whats ur # 1 if u had to choose

[@davetamayo4075]

+DAVE TAMAYO and what do u think about the JZ Vintage 11 compared to JZ BH1 blackhole

[@larrytate1657]

I know he likes the lewitt lct 940 tube/fet mic a lot. Like a Neumann 47 but more versatile.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Dave, yes, Larry is right! I love the Lewitt LCT 940, but I am also enjoying the Slate VMS and I do have a Neumann U47 as well! So I'm spoiled! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

I think a fender Twin would be the ideal studio session amp, Larry Carlton used a tweed twin for all the Dan sessions

[@nicemutant]

it is gradually becoming clear to me that you are on the next level of all-round skill and knowledge. Nice to see how this manifested in such a cool person. Cheers for sharing

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +nicemutant Wow! That is the nicest thing anyone's said to me!! YOU ROCK!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren.

[@nicemutant]

+Produce Like A Pro I truly am not worthy. Please let that be the final word on this.... I'm not used to being this out of my league. ;)

[@jsrjr498]

Quote from Warren: "Necessity is the mother of invention!"

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks Joseph! Yes, I love that quote! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@rockandrollemergency]

This Joseph also agrees. Warren, you are awesome buddy. The webbernet has allowed for the sharing of knowledge. Mr, H, Ty for your invaluable contribution to the ether. I watch em all.

[@Justme4now222]

Just found this vid, only 7 yrs late! Got to echo what others have said, great guitar playing! And as always learned a lot from the vid. Thanks dude 👍

[@hdeline]

Finally.....some one who gets tone.I loved the long video you did on how VH 1 was recorded...probably broke the hearts of all the brown sound tone chasers though,but it did kill all the myths and false information out there and proved my argument on no one but a select few have actually heard Ed's real tone.Cheers

[@mikedambeck7136]

Spot on!!! This really is the beauty of the tube amp and exactly how they were used in some of the greatest songs ever recorded! The greatest guitar effect ever produced IS the volume control on your guitar followed very closely by the tone control on your guitar! Coupled with a brilliant tube amp and one has to look no further than Eric Clapton's work with Cream! A truly stunning use of minimal equipment to get eternal guitar tones! Thank You so much for this as most modern players think I'm completely bonkers for suggesting such an approach! :)

[@MichaelDespairs]

0:46 "chewb amp"

[@Producelikeapro]

That's how we say it in New Zealand

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Eleven Rack: I've had one for a couple of years, never really liked it. Then the other night I plugged it into a clean combo and switched it's speaker emulation off et voila, great sounds! The trick seems to be, set the amp sim up, leave lots of headroom, be subtle with the settings, bring an EQ in, then readjust the amp slightly, then the EQ again, THEN add pedals, reverb, delay etc.

[@VonBluesman]

You are an amazing guitar player. For the transistor amp owners, I recommend getting a distortion pedal with a tube, 12 AX 7, etc. to achieve a better tone, that is if they can't afford a tube amp. Just a thought. Great guitar playing Warren. Thanks.

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks VonBluesman thanks for the compliment! Great tip! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@jc.1191]

Low gain diode clipping designs like the tube screamer and it's copies sound close for the preamp part to me. As an alternate, if you haven't tried em. Wish they could mimic the power tube section overdrive tho. Nothing gets that right that I've heard.

[@MrRocksana]

Wow. Those fast bluesy country scales you play are amazing! Well done! Keep it at it :)

[@harrysearia7421]

GREAT INFO. Ive searched high and low for someone to explain this! Im not a "rock, blues or metal" player but ive always want to know how to get that sound when I need to dig in.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Harry Searia So glad to be able to help! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@jamesbond4633]

Every Breath you take ..every move you make...hey great playing!!! Like the tips on the tones!! Thanks from Canada

[@RiotHomeRecording]

I own a few and love the old Marshall JMP & JCM 800 "6 knob" amps. One thing you should consider which you probably already know is clipping the bright cap. It is very easy to do and only takes a minute. It really cures these Marshall amps of those extremely ear piercing highs. You can do it yourself just lift one leg off the bright cap located between the volume and Preamp gain pot. Plenty of pictures on line indicating exactly what cap to clip or unsolder a leg of which is very easy to redo if you wanted to set it back to stock.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I love the inexpensive stuff that can at times blow away high end stuff! I have a Cort Les Paul style that sounds great!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Robert McClellan Agreed! The best gear is very often very inexpensive!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@jc.1191]

Try a universal ac adapter on the guitar pedal set to low voltage to get the dead battery sound. They usually go down to 1.5v lol. If the parts can take it, 12v might sound good. A quality bench power supply could dial it in the sweet spot, and give low noise like a battery.

[@Gretsch6113]

Howdy, I just discovered your videos for the first time and I just have to say when a person has a great passion for what they do, they get very good at it and the feelings come through and are felt by some of us viewers , I felt it right away ! You do have the passion and I listened !! I appreciate that kind of talent and thank you for the advice !! I will use it !!, Cheers !! Roger. (johnny sea)

[@KenDWebber]

That Carl Martin Fuzz is beautiful!

[@uptownphotography]

Well explained and great info Warren. Finding a great solo (over driven) sound that sustains, but does not pierce your ears with the highs (and avoiding muddy-ness) is an elusive thing sometimes in a home studio, even if the studio is fairly well decked out with equipment. Years ago, (1990s) when I did a Jazz Fusion CD, my live room was treated and not so much a problem. Fast forward to today and I am having some issues in an untreated (for the most part) room, even with throwing blankets, cushions and using baffles on the amplifier speaker mic... Phil NYC Area

[@angelvox1603]

Great tone. Great player. Fab guitarist. Thanks for all your epic content Warren.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Angelvox1, thank you ever so much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@robinspat]

Love this straight forward, no nonsense, demystified approach to the tone monster ;) So few knobs on that head vs my Rivera TBR-1m lol but wouldn't want to go back to less is more hehehe it's just mine is so heavy, I don't carry it about !

[@jacksparrow6218]

I love the sound of my little 5 watt Kustom defender amp. Just one knob, but it sounds sweet.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing!

[@helloriker]

Those pedals are great. Love the tones you get out of that amp!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Steven Butler great! Yes I really enjoy Carl Martin Pedals! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@Sadlander2]

I'm trying to catch up but there are so many videos and each single one is great! It reminds me of when I was watching the TV show Breaking Bad. After each episode, I was excited to watch the next one, I just couldn't get enough! Same here! Warren, if you see this, thank you so much for making these videos and for sharing them! I'm learning a lot and even when I already knew something, it's cool to see that a pro does it like that, too! Thanks again!

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow thanks Sumido S.! That's a huge compliment! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@anthonykartsev854]

What a beautiful guitar wow

[@johnhoolihan9452]

One problem I've had with tube amps is that you have to turn them up extremely loud to get the tone you want. Sometimes this isn't practical so I use a power attenuator (THD Hot Plate) which sits between the power amp output and the speaker. This allows you to crank the amp and overdrive the tubes thereby getting the tone you want at a reasonable volume.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +John Hoolihan Great stuff! The THD Hot Plate sounds like a great way to go!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@stevedangerslifemusic8323]

I am using Koch load box and i am happy with it

[@randonmabe9199]

Warren you're from the UK and you said "Tube" instead of "Valve" have you came over to the dark side? Haha.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Dave Tone That's great! I use my Pacifica every day! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@Dan-sn4dd]

'So that's why we love tube amps' Haha, awesome and true! Having had solid-state Peavey amps for years, then finally borrowing a co-worker's Marshall Class 5, I was blown away by what I'd been missing for so long. That break-up and thickness Warren mentions increases the dynamics of your playing and all in all it just sounds wonderful. I'm hoping to find a decent (small) tube amp once I get settled into my new home later this month... I've been playing nothing but a $30 acoustic for 10 months and I miss electrics! of course that means I'd have to also buy an electric guitar or ship one of mine to Asia. Maybe it would be fun to do an episode specifically on tube amps, guitars and effects pedals (also, nontraditional use of effects pedals in production)? I feel like there's a tons of stuff I still need to learn about guitars.

Hey warren,thanks a lot for making these videos! So much great information. I can't wait to go mess with my amp settings and overall gain staging,I'm using some outboard pedals into a line 6 pod HD rack mount. Not quite a JCM but it sounds kinda close if set right. Thanx again!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks rugrataudio! Yes the Line 6 can create fantastic sounds! The principals here will work with Amp Simulators as well! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren.

[@truthfinder4973]

i could not a ford a tub amp and got a BEHRINGER VINTAGE TUBE MONSTER VT999. overdrive pedal . its sick it sounds like a real tub amp

[@thebaggytrouseredone]

That’s interesting that you boosted the bass, lots of forums and groups say to cut the bass, but if you boost the bass to get that think tone then high pass it at the mix stage then it won’t interfere with the bass.

[@jacksparrow6218]

Simon Hetherington I remember when I was younger, always cranking up the bass and treble while pretty much cutting out the middle. (Trying for that heavy metal tone). Now I use the full range of tone, and I love mids. I wish I knew then all the stuff I know now. But, it pretty much just takes time, experience and a little maturity to get anywhere with pretty much anything.

[@aaronandchar1]

Not sure if you have already done so or not, but it'd be awsome if you did an in depth video on compression. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

[@piotr.soton88]

Amazing tip with keeping clean tone on the edge of breaking for bigger sound in mix- thank You!!! I can wait to get my amp back from service to try it out!!! I got a question. I recently started recording guitars with no reverb. Noticed it help to stay in time while recording, also gives me an option of adding reverb later accordinly... Thou I use reverb and delay when recording leads as I realy like the sound of them. Is it good practice?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Piotr Borkowski Great stuff! ! am so glad to be able to help! Recording with or without reverb works, if you have a great idea of the sound you need and the reverb inspires your performance you can either record with it from the amp or use a plug in! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@rocamp56]

Love the amp! thanks Warren

[@ishanmehta649]

Your videos always help.. Awesome man! Warren...

[@Producelikeapro]

[@Baedon2010]

Brilliant demo. Very well explained.

[@DeanDavidson]

Your playing is articulate and precise. Your demeanor is cheerful and disarming. This is the best series of recording tips I have come across to date. I love it. Can you do one on high-gain electric guitar recording at some point? I am getting really good low to moderate gain (pop/rock) sounds right now using an e609 + Heil Sound PR30 but as soon as I try to get in to high-gain territory (hard rock / metal) it sounds "fizzy" when recorded and I hate it. I can kill some of that "fizz" by going more off-axis but it's still doesn't sound quite right. Thinking about picking up a LDC/ribbon mic to get more "room" sounds because it sounds great in the room. A high-gain video would be awesome!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Dean Davidson thanks very much for the great comment, I really appreciate it! Yes I will definitely do a high gain guitar recording very soon! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@jackleyton5504]

Hi Warren. I had to tell you about my new 10 what Vox (AC10). they stopped making them in 1965 or something and started again in 2015. Yea I know...Wow. It is all tube with a rev and gain control. Im ling to try it through a 212 cabinet as the speaker is not fantastic. However the amp tones are wonderful. Perfect for that just starting to break tone that you and I really love, but it will saturate much farther. I would love to know what you think. It cost about $599.00 Canadian so thats an amazing price. By the way, thanks for asking on your last reply....im doing quite well these days. thanks so much for your wonderful videos.

[@Producelikeapro]

[@JamesBoldi]

Hi Warren (or anyone who can help me with this issue), I'm having some issues getting a good tone while recording. Gear: Guitar: Schecter Hell Raiser Diamond Series with EMG active pickups Pedal: BOSS Metal Core ML-2 AMP: Crate GT212 Combo amplifier MICS: Two Digital Reference DRI100 Super-Cardioid Pattern Mics (I own 3 but I'm using 2) MXL V63MBP condenser mic that I use to get more of the room noise I suppose. MIXER: Yamaha MW2 USB Mixing Studio Mixer. INTERFACE: M-AUDIO M-TRACK plus interface DAW: Pro-Tools Express. ISSUE: Now I know I'm using low budget gear, but I'm hoping to upgrade during this new year. My main problem is trying to record heavy guitars, drop C tuning. I just get a super muddy sound, I can't turn anything up without it clipping and becoming really distorted. I've tried every position on the left speaker and the right, I've tried micing the back as well and it's just too muddy sounding. But if I record the clean channel, it's exactly what I would want for a clean tone. If you guys have any tips to help me, please help me. Please respond soon. Thank you!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +James Boldi Thanks for the question! Wat is the issue you are having? Is there too much Bass? If so try adjusting the amp settings first before anything else. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@JamesBoldi]

It's not that its too bassy, It's just muddy and it takes a lot of gain through the mixer and interface in order to get it to be loud enough to hear. I use a distortion pedal through the clean channel. I've adjusted the clean channel to Low's are at 10 o'clock (going clockwise), mid's I've tried at 11-12 and high's at 2 o'clock. My Metal Core ML-2 Pedal, the lows are at 10 and high's at 1 o'clock. Since it's a heavy distortion pedal I roll the distortion down a bit, practically zero. I know the amp I'm using is a Crate, and is a low budget amp. So I understand why I could be getting this. If you prefer I can record audio and post it for you to hear. Thank you for responding! You're the first to respond. Have an awesome day!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +James Boldi Ok I see. I usually just drive the amp and rarely use distortion pedals, the ma distortion usually sounds best to me. How is the ma distortion? Do you not like it? Sometimes a huge amount of distortion just make the guitar sound thin/muddy and small! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@JamesBoldi]

Well, going into my Yamaha mixer is when the volume and tone is lost. And I've tried boosting more highs and mids. If I turn up the volume it begins to clip. And if I leave it at low volumes it just isn't a clear reaction of the amp. And trying to EQ in Protools Express makes it clip again.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +James Boldi Ok can you just bypass the Yamaha and go straight into the M Audio? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@tennislife3571]

[@bloodlord1989]

Nice playing. I also noticed some of the licks where close to what Tim Pierce does with the blues scale if i'm correct. I don't much about music theory,but i know the minor scale,pentatonic scale , blues scale, and the Arabic scale mostly on G#.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks blood lord! Maybe! I'm obviously a big Tim Pierce Guitar fan, I would say most of what I know I got from Olly Alcock from when I lived in Carlisle in the North of England. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren.

[@bloodlord1989]

Produce Like A Pro same here. I wasn't really a blues fan,before I came across some of Tim Pierces videos and now most of my music is starting to have some blues in it lol. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@Producelikeapro]

blood lord agreed! He's the man! However Olly was a huge influence on me and many fellow guitar players from England. Thanks for the compliments it means a lot! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren.

[@PawnShopRockers]

Hello Warren.... I'd call that clean on the side of "slightly woolly" (spoken with heavy English accent- please). Very cool tone range. The amp adds something to the dance. It's not a Roland Jazz Chorus / Sterile sound either. Cool stuff and nice playing. You back up your talk with chops. Kind Regards, Slacktooth -

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +PawnShopRockers yes agreed, a 'clean tone' for me is ever so slightly driven. Thanks for the compliment on my playing! I really appreciate it, guitar playing is still a huge passion of mine! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@PawnShopRockers]

I'd like to record and produce "kids" coming up in the ranks. I'm past the prime for a rock star. So helping others get a good tone and sound would be fun. The cost of a home studio is what I'll need to figure out.

Hi Warren, I'm so grateful I have found your channel. You are so experienced and have a very nice way of teaching the things you know. Thanks for that. I have a question about your guitar volume. Do you open up your guitar volume to the max and then find the sweetspot of the amp? Or do you set it lower and then find the sweetspot? Thanks in advance, Justin

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +juastino Aw shucks thanks!! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes I use the volume full up and set the tone on the amp, then only adjust the volume on the guitar to change the tone. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@juastino]

WOW! You actually reacted!! Unbelievable Warren. I feel blessed :) I can only imagine how much work this is for you. Thanks for the great tip. I have a Kemper and really love the sound of of the Ampfactory profiles. Now I know how I can get the sweetspot working. I would love to know more about your songwriting techniques. Especially on how you decide what keys you use to get the best out of your vocalists. I'm producing an album with 8(!) vocalists and struggle to write songs that are within their reach.

Hi fixfinance thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it! The Marshall cab is in a separate overdub room. You can see the overdub room on a couple of my other videos. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren

Guitar tone's comes from the guitar and the amp and mic placemennt. Sort that out and your recordings will sound amazing . Spend time experimenting with mic placement. Control mid range it kills your ears. Warren, love you man keeping it real.

Hi +Carl Davies Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@mizupink]

Hey, warren! Where is the output of the head going to? Also, what’s your opinion of running the outputs of heads into a cab sim?

[@secallen]

What a great video. You solved my amp settings conundrum! All I have to do now is learn to play like that! How did you learn?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +secallen Great glad to be able to help! I had some amazing mentors like Olly Alcock in Carlisle, great guitarist! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

If you only have tubes in one stage is it better to have it in the preamp or power amp? and why?

[@VictorVGeiGer1]

Hay Warren, Epic guitar skillz!. I've had a hard time getting good guitar tone for years now. Recording a real amp has always been a volume issue for me so I turned to vst amps but I could never really get what I though was a great tone, especially with high gain, through vst. That was until I tried BIAS from Positive Grid. It's a tube amp simulator combined with impulse response tech they call amp match. IMO it sounds epic, I'd love to get your opinion on it if you've tried it. Thanks for the great tutorials man.

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks thanks very much Victor Geiger! Yes I love playing guitar, just wanted to be Brian May or Jeff Beck growing up! Haha still do! I will have to try out BIAS, that sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip!! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren.

That Bias plug in will bring a core i5 computer with 8 gb of ram to a standstill. It does sound good, but is a real resource hog

[@thearno2885]

Hi Any chance of doing a video using Amp sim plugins only?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Pter da wolf Yes! I have one in the works! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@utubehound69]

Hi warren I'm Mauro from Argentina. I'm a big fan of your videos and saw them a lot of times, I'm getting started with my home recording and getting good guitar tones and I have one doubt about a video you made for getting guitar full and fat tones. I founded your example of setting the amp for playing soft for clean tones and hard for more distorted tones really helpful but my question is about more distorted tones such Buckcherry, Slash, etc.. More hard rock style... How do you think I can find that sweet spot for full and fat tones ? Thanks in advance Warren !

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Kreiser13, thank you ever so much!! I would say set your amp to a crunch tone and drive it from a pedal like a gain pedal! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@shawn2571]

Doesn't all that thickness wreak havok when trying to mix with bass and drums while recording? Or do you use a high pass filter?

[@okiseeyou]

bro make a video just of you shredding

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks minel! I would love to do that! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
