About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!

True temperament frets with an evertune bridge is probably the best studio beast out there.
@@BlazonStone 100%. Realistically, I don't have any issues recording with straight frets/no evertune. Really only cheaper/production guitars should need an evertune to make up for bad intonation/cheap nut. A really solid, high end guitar shouldn't have bad intonation issues to begin with, and therefore shouldn't absolutely even need an evertune.
@@BlazonStone Gotcha. Honestly I don't mind tuning all that much considering I can near one take most things & my guitars are set up very well & have locking tuners etc. and hold a tune extremely well. Mostly use hipshot hardtails & locking tuners. Very rarely ever floating trems. I haven't played an evertune guitar yet that came close to sounding quite as good as my main PRS for recording either, and I'd rather take the slight bit more time tuning once in a while to get a sound that I prefer.
@@BlazonStone Yeah, there's something for everyone. If I could find a guitar with an evertune that beats out the sound of my favs I'd use it in a heartbeat.
true temperament guitars look stupid and are dumb
I'm not going to argue that one. They do look really fucking dumb lol.
Wow after 10 different videos you are the only one explaining bending on an evertune. thank you
Dude played some killer lead.
Thanks sir
@@ChrisRiffinski tasty,tasty work on that track
You would be in a room with 5 guys when things start to "heat up" wouldn't you, Glenn?
Did I do it? Did I earn a spot in a viewers comments video? Hi from Georgia, USA!
puppyy780 hello from a fellow Georgian
puppyy780 hello from a fellow Georgian
Hello from another fellow Georgian.
puppyy780 how's the Irma preparation going?
LeopardSniper12 I live in North Georgia, so I'm not too sure. I know the highways are crowded, since I work in Atlanta. lol. Otherwise, I think people are taking heed of the fact that south Georgia will be hit fairly hard and are evacuating.
That double tracked solo was amazing
"Hi. My name is Jari Maempaa, i'm the lead Singer and guitar player in the band Wintersun, and I LOVE THE EVERTUNE"
Only one shot at bassplayers? You're getting sloppy Glenn! :D
That guitar solo was fucking beautiful.
Oh my, thanks
Is that part of a full song, or was it just something you put together for the video?
Just something for the video
Impressive stuff man. I always enjoy your appearances in these videos, keep up the good work! :)
Chris...you didn’t play lightning fast or use mind exploding technique but you might just be the person that writes the nicest solos on guitar throughout human history
Ever since I saw this I knew i needed this. Recently got a Chapman Ghostfret 7 Pro. Immediately sent it to evertune. Just got it back today and I don't know if i can ever play anything else again. I had high expectations and it still blew them out of the water.
Great T-shirt, Glenn :)
All you need now is one of Mr Meeseeks teaching a Bass Player how to tune up! xD
+AstraVex hmmm....
Only one?
At least he's not suggesting getting them to make a bass player buy new strings.
"Meeseeks usually don't have to exist this many decades"
So... is jerry secretly a bass player?
Ouweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
did you try bending your knee?
I wonder if we could get a full instrumental album or EP of Glenn's "shootout" compositions. Some of these are just so good and well-written, I could listen to them for days lol.
There might be something coming!
I play bass, I have to admit I never realized there were screws underneath the saddle. Time to see what I can do with them. Thanks for the tip Glenn!
Cheers from the Netherlands ;)
I purchased my first LTD ESP EC1000-ET 6 string evertune a couple years ago and loved it. Now I have a Signature series seven string with Fishmens and it blows the 6 out of the water. Great thing about the evertune. I can drop tune the six to C without upping string gauge.
After my classes I stopped to grab food and watched this in my vehicle (custom stereo with subwoofer) and can honestly say I enjoy your drum mixes now. I never liked the clicking of the kick because it was all I could hear but hearing the intro alone convinced me. The low end makes all the difference. I can now see 100% why he says to check your mix in multiple environments.
Great that you've had a chance to try this Glenn, evertune is one of the best things I've ever bought for the studio!
Pfft. Us bass players have been using "evertune"-esque gear since the dawn of time. Hell, why do you think we say "Duh... it was in tune last week?" all the time?
Because bass strings are heavier and won't go out of... Ah, I can't even write it with a straight face!
The Evertune Bass Bridge is (according to the FAQ on the Evertune homepage) in the "final stages" of the prototype testing (Although it seems to have been there since 2013, pretty much...)
Being neurotic about my tuning - both when recording and when performing live - this is something that I hope leaves the prototype stage and "gets real" soon enough. Although they will probably sell about two units (One for me and one for the guy who was to baked to tell that it wasn't and entire bass that he was buying), it would be a most welcome inovation!
Plus: Wouldn't it be awesome to say, with a straight face: It was in tune last time I picked it up!
And then it WOULD be.
Erik Arkö You have great grammar considering you wrote this with your face. Go bass player!
Nah. Just using bassplayertranslator.com. I actually wrote this entire post slamming my face at the keyboard.
I wish bassplayertranslator.com was a real thing.
Erik Arkö I envisioned you slamming it repeatedly into your phone. I have an app for that.
It looks like this year Evertune is finally going to be rolling out the Evertune Bass Bridges
That harmony!!!!! Actually in tune!!! Wonderful!!
This just makes me want one of the new Brian "Head" Welch signature LTD's. Evertune + Fishmans + dope looking purple finish
I’ve sold almost my entire collection of guitars over the last few weeks and replaced them with Evertune equipped guitars. There’s no going back dudes!
Dude now I’m looking at the LTD MH-1007 with Evertune! Thanks for the vid
Just got one, so stoked.
Just picked up my first ESP yesterday and it has this ET bridge. So far I really love it. One thing I will say though, is even right at the perfect threshold for bending, it still doesn't quite react to bends the way a typical bridge would. You can definitely tell the difference, and it just requires a little bit more of a bend to get the pitch you're looking for. Not a deal breaker at all, just worth knowing before you buy it.
Thanks for the great info Glenn
Hell yeah, I have two guitars with evertune.
They are awesome. I need two more so I can have them as E, Eb, Drop D and Drop Db.
Saves soooo much time tracking rhythm guitars.
@Jordan Payne Late answer but if still wondering: You can quickly go to drop tuning BUT you will lose the "evertune-effect" on that dropped string. If you want to drop tune with "evertune-effect" on all strings you need to adjust the screws too.
@Jordan you shouldn't go from standard tuning to Drop C# without re-setting up the whole guitar and replacing the strings with a thicker gauge anyway. Even dropping the low E to D, it's not a big deal but it's still not ideal, especially for recording.
Graph Tech tusq/graphite nut, a roller bridge and locking tuners would probably work just fine as well, as well as being a hell of a lot cheaper, but in a studio situation, absolutely! It’s awesome!
Great review as always!
Absolutely stellar guitar work!!
Thanks, but not as awesome as your last name!
I like how aggressively you pointed at the bridge in the beginning.
That demo was amazingly played and it sounded awesome. Great job guys
Getting one installed in my 7 string Ibanez right now!
Odds of a band showing up to the studio with an Evertune-equipped guitar.... not likely.
Bob SoloMan They normaly show up with old strings on a Guitar that hasn't been setup in two years
Hence why Glenn has it. For our lazy asses
Matt Heafy of Trivium and most likely the guys in Wintersun are recording with an evertune
We showed up with two of them and by the end of the session our engineer was shopping for one of his own!
When the automobile was introduced, that's probably what the buggy whip salesman said to the guy with the Model T. How'd that end?
I think the Evertune bridge is a game changer for any player. It really works. But I'd think that for the gigging player, it'd be indispensable.
The odds now of a band showing up with an Evertune-equipped guitar may be low, but I'd bet heavily that those odds will go up dramatically in the near future.
When cars went from hand-crank to electric start, do you think people complained? I'm sure there were a few, but here we are. You can get a hand crank start car today if you want...in a museum.
i love the lead sound on this
That actually looks really cool!
Loving the T-shirt. So much
A fine review sir, indeed!
Can you start a second channel that's just Rafinski doing mean things to guitar strings?
Awesome track!
So you can drop C tune it and with a little work and adjustment keep it in tune?
Great review, the harmony guitar was interesting to hear as it was almost 'too' perfect. I wonder if you will end up using slightly different processing to make it sound more human. It almost sounded like a harmony pedal!
Love your T-shirt
I wish I saw this video 6 months ago. I spent days reseating the bridge on my guitar just so I could have the intonation in tune at much as possible up the neck of the guitar. Three of the saddles were all the way back and crushing the adjustment screws. I had to remove the bridge, protect the finish, fill the holes with dowel, and very carefully drill 6 new holes in a perfectly straight line at a very particular angle and if any holes were out-of-line, I would be doing it all again. Then to restring it, I had to use a strobe tuner to check the intonation and make adjustments.
It looks like with Evertune, I would not have had that problem in the first place.
Wow. Now THAT's a game changer.
About fucking time. Been waiting months for this.
"Say little Johnny, since grandpa was delighted by the VERY expressive style of yours, he decided to grant you this beautiful guitar..."
That guitar solo was so awesome! Anyone know what scales he was using? It sounded like he was harmonizing in either 4ths or 3rds, but the whole thing was really sweet, so if you know what scale, I'd be more than grateful.
Fuck me gently, I was looking to refresh my memory on this for altering one of my guitars, but got distracted by the fact that 4 years later, you appear to be only a quarter of the man you are here. Christ on a bike. Seriously, not blowing smoke up your arse, you've done amazingly well.
After discovering Jackson thought it was a good idea to use plastic screws with my tune-o-matic, making intonation a DREAM to deal with, I was in the market for a new bridge. I'll have to check this one out.
This is pretty neat.
Love my evertune!
I want this shirt!!!
I am super excited that EverTune has a bass bridge in the works, they say it is in final prototyping. I would love to have one at some point, they seem awesome.
Hey Glenn, greetings from Spain!. I have a question with kind of a long intro. Lately amp modelling is getting a lot of usage, specially for the road. Bands like Periphery run every stringed instrument into an AxeFX, the Kemper rack and head is also getting a lot of good press and even Bias went into the market with the Bias Head and Rack. You've recently checked Line 6's Helix software and a good amount fo modelling pedalboards are now out there. While I still prefer fiddling with an analog amp when it comes to songwriting (It puts me in the vibe), seeing the quality of those products they seem like a no brainer for bands touring in tighter budgets just for sheer practicality. And now the question: If drum sampling and modeling had the same spike in quality and variety than guitar guitar modeling got, would you mind a band touring with let's say a Roland TD-1KPX digital drumkit instead of an acoustic one?. Costwise is in the ballpark, but if you're going to tour in a van or a minibus... it's a lot of space to save. Also, no need to mic it, easier setups and less variance due to the acoustics of the place and conditions. I think that it would be a nice choice if they amped up the quality. Keep on with the show!
i need that tone... NOW!!!!!!
It's a nice bridge. I wanted one for one of my Jacksons. Problem is it's a neck thru and I was worried about routing as I have a tone pros bridge so that makes me very skittish on the idea. I wish Evertune made a Tone pros style but I'l assume it's impossible . I solved my tuning issues with the planet waves auto trim locking tuners. Really good tuners and makes restrings very quick. Nice video though, love the channel.
I love my Ola 7 string with evertune. Got a 6505mh going into the 4x12 6505 cab with celestion 30s of coarse. Add the maxon od808 and decimator noise gate...... Hard to stop playing.
Nice ad, I'll probably buy it
That T-shirt is insanely good
I agree :D
2:44 it actually went out of tune in string 5 and 6 or it could have been unusual fret finger tension either side?
My OG Floyd Rose has been beyooooooond awesome for rhythm and lead tracking. Never got to try an evertune yet, not sure if I'm willing to give up my tremolo
I'm Mr Meeseeks, nice shirt, oh yeah
hi glenn what line 6 amp profile and cab combo did you use ;-) a bass player dream
That's cool!
After getting an Evertune installed in my studio guitar I think you have to be insane not to have at least one. It saves soooo much time and makes tracking fun again instead of being a complete nightmare with tuning and intonation.
Great invention, I'm sure it would be good for tracking. For myself though, a massive rout means removing too much body timber and I couldn't be bothered setting up for either great intonation or string bending but not both at the same time.
I'll wait for the Line6 version..
Bear On Guitar ah, okay. Cheers.
It looks like a lot of effort for bends and vibrato for a minimal effect. However I am sure this is a dream for someone running a recording studio as far as getting recordings out faster. However I am sceptical about live performance. Would you recommend them for shows or just for recording?
Hi is it possible if you can do a video on a Line 6 Pod XT Pro? Thanks
Is that LTD in the video a custom made one?
I can only see MH1000EV-STBLK and EC 1000EV now, both are black. The one in the video is awsome!
Need some help please!
So you can't bend the strings with Evertune but when you start to tune lower with the tuners on the headstock you're giving free space for the string and within that free space you're able to bend. Can the string lose it's tuning within that free space that you've just given?
that track sounded fucking amazing
I used a tele with an evertune on the road and never had to tune it. We went through the mountains and the desert and it didn’t move. I did notice that it seemed to fight me when I did big Albert king bends. Not that it was a bad thing. It just felt different. Cool gadget but it looks weird in classic style guitars though.
Hey Glenn,
I was wondering if you've ever considered reviewing music from bands that are starting out? Cheers from SoCal!
Devin Townsend has a video on this as well. I think said he hadn't retuned the guitar since he put strings on a a couple weeks before.
need to test one of these. Really have my doubts on the "feel" when bending. If you don`t bend, buy a banjo.
You should consider installing true temperament frets in addition to the evertune. Have you ever heard of them?
I actually had an Academic Project about guitar innovation most people don't know about, like a roller-bridge, Earvana Nut, True Temperment frets and Evertune to name some
Hey Glenn! I need your help. My guitarist is always slightly out of tune which becomes a problem during live performances. I showed him your video of the evertune and he won’t buy it because “How am I gonna do bends during solos?” Even though you clearly show how it’s done. What can be said to him to make him change his mind?
that shirt thoo!!! awsome
Mat heafy has been using these for ages. He's got one installed on his black Gibson.
Does it work the same as fr while dropping or pulling the tune up?
I have been recording an acoustic album past few days and good grief I feel like I was tuning more than playing lol. Getting one of these installed on my Schecter. Gonna be nice not having to worry about tuning all the time. 🤘 Would be awesome if Evertune could conjure up something for acoustic lol
I was a little sceptical about these evertune things bechause Richard Kruspe ( from Rammstein ) said that he couldnt get a cool sound out of these bridges, but now i think they are ok
Awesome video, but wouldn't the evertune in a way change the guitars initial tone in theoretical sense since its a more dense object? If not, then I might just slap that onto a future tele Ill be investing into.
That rythem guitar tone was awesome. which amp and cab were you using?
watch the video dick
he said exactly what he was using
Do you still use Evertune bridges? Just curious what the long term judgement is on Evertune.
Glenn i have to know
do they make a whammy bar version of this
also i MIGHT forget to change strings i i ever do get this
theyre working on it
Hey glenn
Have you ever planned trying out the string butler?
They are coming out with a bass evertune Bridge that is still in the final stages of prototyping but it should be done pretty soon and I don't really care how big the routing has to be for it, this would be a lifesaver especially because I love to dig in really hard on my bass strings and I hate how it Sharp's every time I hit the string and it's tables out during sustained
Where did you get that AWESOME shirt!?
Love that fucking shirt lol. And funny you brought up the accidental chorus SG again, since you just did not too long ago
They don't make these for bass, do you think I could fit one on a six string bass? Would it even be necessary to put the evertune on a bass?
I love the Fact that most Gear channels on UA-cam never mention Price ! Phillip McNight being the exception . A lot of us Musican's are cash poor so please let us know the prices for things in the future . I love this but doubt I can afford it ...
Hey Glen, do you think that nylon tipped sticks work just a well as playing butt end?
I'm obviously not Glen, but if you're playing butt end it doesn't matter what the tip is. Just...remember to go easy on the cymbals.
Hey Glenn...
Does the evertune stay in tune if you break a string? (like the tremel-no system and other similiar ones I've seen in the past)
Seems like an indisposable studio tool for sure, but personally (on a bad day) I've broken at least 2 strings before finishing a setlist at a show. It can be a major pain in my ass so this is my reason for asking.... have had multiple songs completely ruined because of this haha.
Thanks man (from sunny San Diego, what's up?)
each string has its own spring, and tension setting. if you break one, the others don't move.
Actually, your neck may straighten a little because of the lack of tension from the broken string, but the evertune would compensate for that
Yes it does. Chek out the Rob Champman videos about Evertune. He cuts some strings and the others still in tune.
For vintage nuts, chords it sound better as a bridge our is this part of the compromise?
God dammit Glenn, I was taking a bong rip right as you said that lol
I've been wanting to get an evertune. I think they're fucking rad.
No wammy, no way lol
That dang Ken Susi tho, what a fella
The clean sound sounds really mellow like a jazz guitar and doesn't seem to have a ton of sustain on the higher notes. This thing seems like it saps a lot of energy from the strings vibration as a byproduct of all the moving parts.
That solo ALMOST doesn't even sound double tracked... like it's so laser-focused that it doesn't spread in ANY other way but beautifully.
best tech progress since the Kahler and the Floyd
