The ELVIS Guitar Thread...

[Dave's Bitch]

Very nice indeed.Good job king

[ashstralia]

dude, it's pretty cool, there needs to be more separation of the instruments tho.

i'm a huge fan of the wall of noise, i bow at that altar weekly. when you've got a groove smoking, every instrument deserves it's own little eq/stereo spectrum house.

[ELVIS]

most of the Fenders made in the late '70s are very heavy. how about yours?

good tune, btw.

Thank you...

It's my heaviest guitar, so it's about right...

[vandeleur]

Good stuff king enjoyed it , definitely has a bit of SRV up front .
Post more dude ,most people on here are honest and will give you decent feedback .

Don't take this as payback for all the smack you've talked about other people's tones here for YEARS, I actually mean this as constructive criticism.... the guitars sound OK, but are a little flat, and dark sounding. You may want to bump of the presence a bit. Which amp was that?

[ELVIS]

That's basically my ADA MP1 into a Behringer Bass V-Amp Pro with some analog effects and EQ in between...

I can get 1000 different tones like that but I usually hover around one sound...

I try to get as clean as possible while still having some balls...hopefully anyway...

I'd be interested to hear one of your Marshalls....

[ELVIS]

That's a mistake I do often...

Sometimes I cut too much presence trying to quell buzz...

Guitar tracks always sounder warmer when placed in a mix...

Mixing's a little harder than it sounds, huh?

With a couple mics ??

I've played around with that and at one time that's all I used...

A Fender Deluxe plugged into a 4x12 sounds nearly identical to my '73...

But overall the tone is not much different than my digital setup...

My next step is to get that new ADA cabinet emulator and see what that does...

That thing seems like it adds a real low/mid kick...

Oh yeah, I've been messing with that stuff all my life...

[ashstralia]

getting it bright sounding but not shrill is an art in itself...

It is. And I only recently was hipped to the trick to take the "fizz" out of emulated parts by an actual producer friend who's now offering pointers... would've been nice to know a year ago, but hey!

[ELVIS]

Sometimes it may be better to leave the fizz in until you see how it all fits together, then slowly dial it out without cutting too much off the top end...

[ELVIS]

For instance, WACF has a lot of fizz...

But it sounds perfectly fine...
