    I just listened to an old interview with Dimebag Darrell last night taking about where he gets his guitar tone and he mentioned having just an eq and a few other minimal things before his amp. It has to be sheer destiny that I just so happened to come across this video because it didn't occur to me at the time. Awesome advice brother, thank you.

    Probably too late but here's a question: I just DI recorded a bunch of guitar tracks, and I'm going to re-amp them shortly, but I was wondering if there is any pre-processing I should do on them first? Like, should I bother with a Pro-G gate, or compression, or even any EQing FX? What about normalization? Or should I simply use the raw sound I recorded, and save any FX/processing for the fully re-amped tracks (once I decide which specific sound I want from the few variations I record)? Thanks!

    Loved the information! Can you make a video on making vintage humbucking pickups sound modern? Gibsons generally do a good job, but HSS Strats are extremely difficult to deal with! Since they generally have low output and do not have much information in the mids. Thanks for all the information though! 🤘🏽❤

    Have you tried using a boost? Tubescreamer or similar? Then there's transparent boosts, or use an eq pedal to push the wanted mids. Or, use an eq plug in. Wampler and jhs both have good video on the what's and why's of these pedals. That info can then be used digitally. For instance, needing to clear up a DI, when used with a bass heavy amp sound, experiment with a pre eq to remove the low end so that the amp isn't overly accentuating the lows and low mids. Might be that you'd use a low shelf, high pass, or targeted freqs. Then if still needed, add boost to the higher freqs. Believe it or not, string gage has an effect too. Fatter gages tend to have more harmonic richness to them before processing, adding more harmonics (distortion) can make it muddy. Makes it difficult for people like me who have a real heavy picking hand. Thinner gage strings tend to rise in pitch. Some folk tune down a half step to compensate, for me a half isn't enough for normal playing, and when I do go lighter, it's too low for the rest of the instruments. So I go heavier gage. I also need to be thinking differently about how to dial tone, a compressor might work better for me rather than a boost.
