@tarkenton38955 жыл бұрын
Amos uses 35' scale basses I think, but if you're using a regular 34' scale you'd ideally want a beefier low string to start off and then set intonation/string height based off of that I like using really beefy lows if I'm going to A or as far as F# it since you're only looking for A, experiment anywhere from .140 to .145

Check out his description, the RME does most of the processing which is then edited in Pro Tools.
@warrenoids10 ай бұрын
The RME has no production capabilities. The tone generated is mostly through the Darkglasses, yes, but I'd wager that there are some post processing happening within Pro Tools after it's being recorded. To answer the original question, yes you'll get very close with both Darkglass pedals.

Do you have any tips on the impact while thumb picking? It hurts my nail a lot so I can't quite get to practice it more than a few seconds at a time.
@TheComodous4 жыл бұрын
Hi Funkaforfan, I'm not using the nail at all in the upstroke, it's more the side of the thumb at the hight of the knuckle that's hitting and plucking it. If you do it this way you get a more consistent sound between the down and up stroke (the nail sounds different) To do this the trick is the have the palm of your hand as close to the strings as possible. Then your thumb is parallel to your strings and not digging underneath. This way the palm is also in the perfect place to mute the strings you don't want to hear. At least, this is what works for me. Hope this helps.
