How do i get this tone (guitar)?
i like it that Otep's guitars are very clear, yet still distorted and metal sounding. also, i like the tone for the tag before the second prechorus in A Farewell to arms by machine head.
both sound muddy and distorted, yet clear and defined.
how do i get that general tone with EQ dials and distortion? if i cant tell me how i can...
like in this song:
My advice would be to dial down some of your bass *before* it reaches your amp. Bass = warmth, but too much of it = mud. By cutting your lower mids (300-800 hz depending on the guitar) and lowest lows (below 200 hz, esp below 100hz) you will trade off some of your warmth and some of your distortion for clarity. I prefer to cut before I boost, but you can also try boosting a few db around 3khz - this helps define your "attack" frequencies.
So, do all that before your amp. On your amp itself, start with your mids between 50 and 75% and treble and bass all the way down. Balance your gain and treble until it sounds about right. Now you can add in a bit of bass for warmth and not muddy farty noise.
Keep your gain low - it basically should never be over half-way. The more gain = less note clarity. You'll have to use your ears, as these are just guidelines.... the final result will depend on your guitar, pickups, amp, and speakers - and playing volume, believe it or not. Different volumes will require different eq tweaks.
I used to crank my mids all the way, but at loud volumes I was having problems with feedback and this weird chiming quality to my tone, so I'm now playing with my mids closer to halfway than fully up. I prefer it over cutting mids because that's where your volume is at - cutting mids means you lose all of your volume, and you'll no longer cut through a mix, you'll just disappear.
Playing through a tube amp helps.
If you don't like your amp's distortion, you can try pumping it up with a DS-1 or a Rat, or running something like a Metal Zone through your clean channel. I like the Metal Zone, it's a pretty sweet heavy pedal, one of the best. The Boss OD-20 is an amazingly versatile pedal as well, it can do any number of different Boss pedals very well. It's Rat model is pretty good, and its DS-1 and MT-2 emulations are as good as the originals. Consider it.
PS I feel the same way about Mastodon's guitars... clear and defined yet metal as hell.
