It's a fret wrap. The strings can vibrate behind the nut and create a lot of extra noise if you're playing staccato stuff with heavier strings or a bunch of gain (like metalcore haha). I usually don't use one these days but I'll use that or just a cheapo hair tie if I'm recording and it's causing a problem.

I dig your taste in 'Guitar Tonal Palette' Brotha! That sound WAS "ALL OVER THE PLACE" in the 80s. Your rendition of Steve Stevens' work on Idol's "Flesh For Fantasy" was REALLY good! The 'Strat-Nasal' tone, also called 'Strat'-Quack is important in recreating a LOT of those 80s 'clean' tones. Excellent example is Robert Plant's 'Big Log', Jamie West Oram's guitar work on The FIXX's 'Red Skies', 'Saved By Zero', and 'One Thing Leads To Another'. Ty Tabor of KING'S X really took the 'Strat'-Bridge/Middle' tone to new heights, by overdriving a Lab Series amp with a Fender Strat Elite (his was a red one), but he used clean tones with it as well. The Strat was and is a workhorse, but the Tele was used for clean tones as well as rock tones back then also. Billy Squier used one, on 'Don't Say No'. Anyway, great video. And you're definitely 'digging' in the right place for 'guitar tone'-pioneering possibilities, IMHO. And I grew up in that era. And I STILL play, on a MIM Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas HH/FR Black Purple Burst Quilt Top Strat, through two Peavey 1st Gen. VYPYR amps (30 W/ 12", and 75 W/ 12" respectively), and use an MXR M234 Analog Chorus (buffered), an MXR 117 Flanger (for limited 'Jet Plane'-swooshes of colouring), and all that with the amp's reverb and a touch of slap-back echo. It gets me in the neighborhood of those 80s 'clean' tones with the 'Fender Twin' -amp model (Mesa Boogie Rectifier & Peavey 6505 amp models for high gain tones). Building for a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier or another EVH 5150 III 6L6 50W mini-setup, in the near future.

I feel that chorus used in series rather than parallel integrates more naturally with the guitar tone and sounds thicker. Reverb is always used in parallel.
@kylekarich3 ай бұрын
I agree, I usually do that in real rigs, have a chorus last before I split out into kill-dry effects. It all depends on the sound you're going for. It can definitely be cool to have the core guitar signal (that is being fed to everything else) chorused, especially when going into a second chorus or pitch effects.

I had no idea all this time that this jangly sound was direct to board. Although I've heard that you could achieve that sound with a Roland jazz course amp which is all solid state. There's a lot of different ingredients that make up the sound though. Noticing that you're playing a Tyler the selection of series versus parallel wiring has a play in that as well. What position were your toggle switches on for this sound?
@kylekarich3 ай бұрын
Yep a lot of the most famous examples are either direct to board, or a guitar amp without a cabinet (line out) - but of course you can do it with a normal setup & some EQ! The Jazz Chorus is a kickass option used by a lot of bands. Operation Mindcrime uses an Ovation through a Marshall lol. So your mileage may vary. Any time you hear me play an example in the video (besides when I'm demonstrating the switches on/off) all pickups are set to parallel. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of the classic Schmo tones are either bridge pickup in parallel (by itself, just bridge), or a notch position (2 or 4 on selector) with ONLY the middle pickup set to parallel, & the outer pickup left in series. Something to think about - there's no right or wrong though.

Great video. I also dig that Tyler you got there. I’ve been obsessed with this guitar sound for half a decade now. Of course me being obsessed with 80s pop has to do with it as well. But also some of the studio players like Lukather/Landau/Huff etc are the guys that made me fall in love with this tone in the first place. I always thought to myself if I ever get a guitar in the future this is one of the tones that I’m going to be chasing after. But anyways, Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for this video - I've been wanting to know how to get that clean 80's tone for years! I noticed the Nembrini ADA MP1 actually has a Clean Chorus preset which gets you halfway there immediately, but your additional tips really add that secret sauce. The only comment I would make, as rockin' as your backing music is, it sometimes overpowers your voiceover (or maybe it's just my old ears) 😁keep up the good work!

Million dollar question. Suppose you're poor and you're lucky to have a Boss Katana 100w 1x12 with a tablet using the Tone Studio editor and a Schecter Omen Elite. For now im using one amp but want to get another one to run stereo. Is there a way to get close to this??
@kylekarich5 ай бұрын
On a budget I would highly recommend people interested in these tones get an affordable recording interface & play through a DAW. Not only will you be set up to record, but it's much easier to get these sounds with a handful of plugins compared to the substantial investment required to create a "real" rig that can do it. With your Katana, as you said, moving to stereo is important to really hear this style; I'd say the most important element not in the katanas is going to be pitch detune, which you'll find in pedals like Eventide & multifx like the small helixes. If you go that route make sure to get a good ABY box.

Congratulations, hands down the best video on KZfaq and the whole internet about this topic ! Enjoyed all the tones you got, but the one you get in Flesh For Fantasy is absolutely perfect, all the ingredients are there and it sounds glorious, I like it even more than the original, Stevens would be proud.

@sleeplessnightsofficial63345 ай бұрын
Love these videos Kyle! As I no longer have much actual gear and record mainly into my DAW these days would it be possible to get a video from you showing how to get this sound in a DAW? Mainly the compression settings and tweaks to really make it pop. I have got close a few times but not quite as good as this! Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
@kylekarich5 ай бұрын
Sure thing. I have some more videos planned in the future. This video was done entirely with plugins but I have since built an analog rack & want to use that too going forward. I would say whatever DBX (VCA) plugin you have will get you in the ballpark. I compress pretty heavily after the amp for this sound, 10dB of reduction is not out of the ordinary.
@Yury55765 ай бұрын
Hmmm. Somehow you got the most uninspiring, dead sond ever. Also cabs don't make a dead tone. And direct into preamp signal will not give you an instant 80s clean nirvana. Try alniko speakers with an open back cab. Mic it properly. Another of the 80s tones were done with say a jc120 amp. Speakers and all. Many used modulation effects (chorus, phaser). You need to study up on the subject, before preaching on YT.

I fairly recently obtained a few pedals for schmo tone (even before I ever heard that term)... because playing some of the sounds with multiple amps is just plain fun. It feels good. I haven't watched much of this video yet. I had a boss chorus CE2 for years and had several delays, but I wasn't trying to get those tones before. But I got the itch and picked up some items I thought would help. I got a Keely 30ms, a TC Electronic SCF and a Walrus Eras distortion to help me go further. I almost got an Eventide Tri Chorus but I ended up choosing the TC SCF.
