Removing "cheap guitar sound"

[Mark Wein]

Gotta love the Internet.

So you've been looking up bluemooze's LinkedIn page, eh?

 

[Mark Wein]

Lol. That was in a linked in guitar group I've been
Posting my lessons in.

I can only speak for myself, but some business you just don't want.

In all seriousness, I've found around 700Hz to be the "mud" zone. The tube amp that was rocking in the room with an SM57 in front of it likes a little cut right about there. This gives it back clarity and makes it sound the same as it did in the room.

But I'm no expert.

Buy my 800hz Remover Guitar Polish!
Apply liberally and turn your Teisco into a Les Paul!

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I remove cheap guitar sound by only playing unfathomable expensive instruments. :snooty:

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I pay little money to achieve that sound; you leave it alone.

I file the 800hz from my fingers. And try to wash my hands after fried foods. That fryer grease adds around 745hz boost to the strings.

What a load of bollocks.

You only say that because you can't hear it.....

a bbe sonic maximizer is just about the worst thing you can do to a guitar signal.

Those things are the worst thing you can do to any signal, to be honest.

Cadmium-zinc-telluride alloy pickup baseplates can remove the 800 Hz frequency from any single coil guitar. For humbuckers and high output p90s, you are going to want to use cadmium-zinc-polonium alloy plates.

 

[Flatspotter]

I use cadmium-zinc-molybdenum-pandemonium-plated baseplates.

 

[jaxn slim]

Mmmmm.... polonium. I like to sprinkle that on my sushi.

 

[Tiltsta]

I use cadmium-zinc-molybdenum-pandemonium-plated baseplates.

Pfffft. Plated? Why are you using plated baseplates? Solid is the only way to go if you are modding anything better than a Squier or Epi. I think the plating will take out some of the cheap sound, but not as much as a premium solid slab of superconducting alloy.

I see a prank booth at NAMM in our future if we can pool the entrance fee

I could come up with a giant pile of materials science and physics based technospeak that would essentially be impossible for anyone without an advanced science degree to decipher as bullshit. The alloys I listed are exotic superconductor materials used to generate and detect terahertz waves in things like in fared spectrum lasers, radiation detectors, and solar cells. I worked on these as an undergraduate student research project, as I have a minor in radiation health physics (my part was really insignificant, and was basically a way to learn how to do X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, rather than an actual research program). With a little preparation time, I could probably convince a lot of people that a piece of aluminum foil wrapped around the jackplate washer would enhance toanz.
