Solo Tones: Thoughts On Gain, EQ & Audibility - That Pedal Show
Рет қаралды 94,458
Күн бұрынIn this episode we stumble around a general discussion on being heard when playing solos. A friend of Dan’s had asked him what he needed to think about tonally when starting to play guitar solos: it sparked an idea for a show.
Many of the concepts we touch on here have been covered in previous episodes, but they’re always worth a re-look for the already-initiated and close to invaluable for anyone new to the subject. Gain, EQ, volume… and a bit on delay, rounded up with five tips for better solo tones.
Enjoy the episode!

I am so grateful to you guys for talking about delay instead of reverb. I find that sooo many people over use reverb with solos and I find that all it does is do the opposite of what they want. They want space and want to be heard. But reverb usually pushes you back in the mix, where delay give you space but also clarity and audibility. You’ve helped so many young players out there! Great job!

I liked your comment about thinking of your solo volume as needing to take over the space left by the lead vocal. In jazz, setting your solo volume to match the trumpet or sax is also a good place to start.

My additions for soloing/gainstaging are 1. a fuzz to boost any drive pedal and clean up with guitar volume (old and new school?) Also I noticed on clean tones a nice additional compression that keeps dynamics/transients natural with more focus on the mid frequencies at the same time 2. a boost pedal in the fx-loop to saturate the power tubes more 3. EQ Pedal: Negative EQing for tightening up the rhythm sound & pedal off for soloing (more bass/top end and volume) Thanks for your work - useful & HQ!

I remember the first 3 hour gig I did and after my first couple of solos I panicked since I knew I was out of ideas ha. That show really taught me pacing, what to practice and the importance of phrasing and economy. With regard tone, my lead tone is often cleaner than my rhythm sound. Like Dan said, I want it to come in like the vocals with a similar quality, cut and level. I also find for high gain, when it's needed, a fuzz will give a fat cutting sound while maintaining clarity (fuzz dependant of course).

Fellas, in light of the recent shows,I have a challenge for y'all. Please do a show on several small amps that have relatively large headroom and are reasonably priced. Amps that will allow the pedals to do a good part of the work (Like the Supro 1970RK) ...I believe that if y'all are going to fight the good fight against silent stages, more solutions need to be given as alternative to modelers/digital amps. Y'all did that with the Ox and BOSS tube expander and y'all have done a show on small amps. But we need a show on small amps with a lot of headroom that are for home use and gig worthy. Cheers!

Ive almost never use my tone knob before until I've got Allan Holdsworth playing ! That completely changed my perspective on solo tones. Those reedy/wind instrument sounds he could get by rolling back his tone knob are by far my favorite solo tone ever especially in Hard hat area where he was playing a modded dual-rectifier. He had an incredible control and musical approach over is compressed saturated tone. I know that it might not be everyone cups of tea but I found that whit his combination of tone/touch/melody created some of the most emotionals guitar solos ever.

Totally with you on the Klon circuit. It's been my solo boost of choice running after my other OD's for about 12-13 years now I think. It just does a psycho-acoustic trick that I haven't ever quite had anything else do. The dynamics, headroom and the EQ shape can put me up front without blistering volume & it also has this ability to make single notes thicker without too much compression. I always say switching on that circuit makes it sound like you've gone up a gauge of strings.

Great and helpful episode guys! I think the best solo boost I've found is that really short slap back, almost a doubler. I like the way Matt Schofield put it, "it's like the back wall." Mine happens to be a broken EHX Memory Toy that I got for 25 dollars and can only get one repeat out of (feedback pot is broken), but it is probably the most consistent pedal on my board, and adds spread and perceived volume to whatever sound I'm using. Thanks for more great tones this week!

Another great show chaps. One thing Mick alluded to with his tip of 'play half as many notes as you think you want to play', is the use of 'space' in a solo. Audibility and tone are rightly crucial to being heard above the band, but the use of space, i.e. when you don't play, can be a great juxtaposition and bring attention to your solo. The 'gaps' you leave can highlight and accentuate the notes that you do play. A good example is Phil Manzanera's solo in the Roxy Music song 'Oh Yeah'.

The D&M covers the OCD and Klon roles and a Keeley compressor is close enough. It’s much more useful when you show HOW to use a pedal to its full potential instead of just demoing it with all the knobs at 12:00.

New to electric guitar, I just bought my first looper and realized I needed to get away from my sound to play the solo and literally thought “Gee I guess I need a box to step on to give me ‘more loud’” so having the best options all explained and demo’d like this could not have been more timely. It is now clearer how what I need will depend on clean/gain and pickup type.

With a clean tone, it's so easy to just hit a Klon-ish pedal or a clean boost to get where you need to go but I was racking my brain for a long time on how to boost an already gunned high-gain amp and an eq pedal in the loop was absolutely the answer (FOR ME).

The bit with the high gain sounds explains exactly why I’ve always struggled with amp in a box style pedals! Thanks for showing me properly how to boost a use a high gain tone! I was doing the exact opposite of everything you said in this episode!

Full on Rock - love you gents! Amazing how a little back beat and nifty bass line makes the guitar pop.

The end jam had some really cool feels in it! Klon easily my favourite solo sound, does service to both guitars. Also love where Dan comes from with his solos, and Mick's way of playing. Almost makes me want to have these jams as separate things to listen to. Some licks I've got to steal quickly. The backing tracks were definitely the right choice. Brings out so much feel and progress to your licks and playing. Hats off to your guy for the composition.
