It's actually a very dark sounding pickup.harddriver wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 3:13 pm That's a good solid FW tone PLX! Congrats... The pickup definitely has more punch and depth to it, does it seem bright or is the asymmetric wind doing what you theorize that it tames the brightness of the Floyd Rose bridge. I like this pickup more than your A-8 High Order.
What speaker IR did you use for the cip?
Did you use your digital cheating/EQ matching on the clip?
Did you use all of the Sunset sound equipment, API550, Pultec, UA 1A compressor, EMT plate reverb.
I'm using the one erryone says Ed used on that record.. the Celestion G12T-75. I tried a bunch of other speaker IR's, but that one sounded right for this clip.
I'm running the exact same signal chain Jim Gaustad is using in his video. All settings are the same as well.
As far as the EQ matching with Fab Filter.. in my humble opinion that was a black hole of despair and wasted hours. It seemed promising at first.
I watched several YouTube videos where these kids were using it to EQ match some of those CHUGGA CHUGGA tones, and it worked for them. I figured it would work for the 'boomer" guitar tones as well.. but it really doesn't.
In the end, I was turning it down so far in the mix because it just sounded anemic and shitty. So, I just quit using it. You're better off using your ears and your gear to 'get there'.
