I just got my first SC guitar, a Strat with 59's pickups.
So levels are so different, and it affect settings in compressor, and amp if not hb etc.
An extra compressor and use either depending on guitar?
But not used 100% of the time, so amp need adjustment too.
Or a general boost pedal first after guitar, to make signal just about equal as HB guitars?
I got a tip that Xotic make a real transparent boost pedal, not sure how much of sales pitch that was in store, but maybe good.
Just plug and play is nice, and no settings on amp gain+master might be needed.
Just started experimenting.
How do you go about it?
Any other ideas?
I'm not a gigging musician, just home studio - but want consistent result that is easy to manage. Getting a song done usually takes years - and make that mix go forward a bit and then do other songs and pieces for film etc. So coming back later to same song convenient if I can get the same guitar sound. I won't settle for a mix unless sounding professional enough, so learning the trade you could say. When I practise piano and that is better - I remake takes for piano - and the same for bass, drums and guitar too.
Thanks.
