Mids Anyone?

[Jonny R]

For my heavy sounds I use a G2D Morpheus

The Tone control on this only adjusts the mid-range, which means you can dial in plenty of mids, or pull them out for nu-metal if you want.

Works great for heavy sounds where you want good mids.

The avatar was definitely the tip off. What do you use for your overdrive? When you set your GE-7, are your bass and high trebles frequencies flat, or do boost them, cut the mid bass and mid treble, and raise the mid(W). I'll have to try that out....

I use a BOSS SD-1 for my overdrive. For my GE-7, yes it's a W shaped with more emphasis on the high-mids. Hard to do on a keyboard but I'll try...something like this - V'''. I use slight boost just to get a little more gain saturation, but not too much due to the noise you will get.

as we got a female singer in the band we tuned to F coz the vocals fits better on the old songs when we played an half step up. We stayd with that..... Never missed the low E since then and 2 sec I'm on Drop D#
I think we are not the only band playng in F. I heard for example Placebo play an weird F tuning.

I'd be afraid of ... *SNAP*!! :11:

The White Lion tune "Little Fighter" was played tuned up a WHOLE STEP (F#)!! OUCH!!

I don't necessarily boost the mids anywhere. HOWEVER, I don't boost the bass or treble either! I guess that makes the mids peek through naturally.

I don't understand.

On 10 on most of the amps I use....well the Selmer do only have treble and bass
Same for my AC-15 clonetop.
My park is also between 8-10.
The fatness dissapears without the mids.

I often use my capo wildly with different tunings and I just recently wrote a cool song in F. Having a female singer in my band kinda drove me to play things higher up as well

Tightly wound strings. Hard hitting picking hand. Standard tuning snaps on me. Half a step or even a whole step up, that's dangerous!

A cutting guitar is all about the mids...No mids,no cut!

I hate that scooped nu-metal tone! I love going onstage right after a "scooped Rec." guy gets offstage. The difference is
kinda like a mouse getting crushed by a tractor tire. Quite fun!

 

[BluesNRock87]

i used to have my amp set to 10low, 0mid, 10high. Than i dropped the low to like 7 and kept the rest the same. Now i have matured to 5.5low, 3.5mid, and 6high. I guess thats scoopped but not nearly as bad. The mids make my amp sound like crap. I am maturiing towards more mids?

I love mids! Can't get enough of 'em. Can't cut thorugh a mix without them...and besides that, I really like how they can sound...IF the mid profile is nicely proportioned: it can lead to a singing, almost vocal, spongy guitar tone that just ROARS. :argh:

Marshall amplification would have never gotten anywhere if they hadn't had their fantastic sense of what a good, strong midrange should sound like.:headbang:
