    A Question and a thought about DI and silent stage

    First question: Work with the sound guy and let him tweak the house, if your sound is good coming from your Axe FX in your IEM's leave it be. A good sound guy will make adjustments to FOH and make suggestions to you on your sound if he feels the need to. Second question: I would avoid DI's...

    Changes to 1959SLP and Plexi 100W 1970?

    One of the tricks I learned a long time ago was to swap out the tone stack in an amp to give it a different flavor. It can help revoice your amp to fit better in a mix. Use a looper block with a riff or chord progression and swap out the tone stack till you get what pleases you.

    BAD Hum/Noise At Gig

    If the noise was everywhere, there may be several issues. Neon Lights, Cheap Dimmers. Or the PA system, Monitor system and stage power are coming from separate sources so the ground is not reaching a common grounding point. The wiring may be shoddy or have ungrounded plugs or hot neutrals. There...

    Neal Schon GoT

    True, but he does use a wha pedal set at a specific place in its travel frequently. Thats part of the reason his tone cuts through. Like Mick Ronson and Michael Schenker also did.

    Neal Schon GoT

    My favorite expression when seeing a really good guitar player on so-so gear was: Give em a hockey stick with a string on 2 nails and a pickup and hell make it sound good
  12. Techboy57

    Neal Schon GoT

    No amount of gear will make you sound great, the tone is with you or it isn't. There is a local Montreal player Dimitrios Bakolias otherwise known as Jimmy James. He's a screaming guitarist with tons of talent and an amazing tone. I am a local sound tech and one night I went to see him play at a...

    When I got into playing electric guitar, I made the shift from a nylon-stringed classical to the amplified world.

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    Larger high-end sound systems always have a tendency of revealing and amplifying both the strengths and weaknesses of a sound source.

    Probably idiotic question- How to get the most out of Dyna Cabs?

    Unfortunately yes, it would make things more complex, this is how I would work to get the best tone for my live setups. And it was a 2 man job one tech placing and moving the mic and the other listening to the Front of House to get the required tone. It wasn't easy but the results were worth it.
  41. Techboy57

    Probably idiotic question- How to get the most out of Dyna Cabs?

    The obvious answer is to use your ears, I've miced thousands of guitar cabinet speakers in my life as a live sound engineer. No two speakers or cabinets sound the same and every mic has its own sound also. Sorry for stating the obvious for those in the know, but the closer to the center you...
