bubinga5 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Strings, preamp, pickups.?. I'm aware he is scooping those mid's, but the zing and tone he's getting from the higher frequencies is great.He's playing a KSD 705. Any ideas.? http://youtu.be/r5dFOGetYMg Edited October 9, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Compression, lots of it and scooped eq. My guess...... Yuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZilchWoolham Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sounds like a pretty normal clean, modern, slap-happy tone to me. In the video annotations he mentions he's using an "Audere Audio" pre-amp, but I'd assume you could get something similar with most hi-fi styled pre-amps or Class D amps, which do seem to be dominating the market. Should be fairly easy to dial in with common equipment, and of course, in agreement with the previous speaker, in every way the opposite of what I'd consider good tone! (Go for it, though!)

dannybuoy Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Steel strings, scooped EQ. Sounds awful to me though, he could do with a set of flats and boosting the mids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sounds like Melvin Davis. Presense, but not a strong top, scoop, jazz and new strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZilchWoolham Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Also, to get that ultra-high end, you'd want as much headroom as possible. And maybe use the DI out on your amp instead of the cab, as even relatively bright cabs do tend to round out the sound a bit.
