Yep, it's an old trick we've been doing in the studio since the 1970's. ;) I would also add that, if you're actually playing the guitar along with a band or track that includes a bass guitar and kick drum, then you probably don't want to "preserve the bass" as you put it and add all that low end back in at the end of the chain. Listen closely to great rock mixes from the 70's to modern, and you'll find that in many cases, the guitars are actually quite thin, but the mix is setup so that the bass guitar and kick drum take over where the guitar falls off, providing a seamless "tight" bottom end and clarity between the low end instruments vs the low-mid-range of the guitar.
Wait, there are still people who understand how to mix and master a track properly!? Where do I find them? 😂
This is incredibly helpful, thank you for this!! Also thank you for setting up a preset live during the video. It really helps prove the method works.
Hey thanks!
Probably not my style of playing but I really appreciate how good this video setup is! Super crisp and colourful 👌🏻
Amazing trick. Thank you!!
Thanks for that trick. I will definitely try that tonight.
OUTSTANDING vid - great info, thanks!
Thanks to you!
Thank you. Very informative. Trying it now.
Just what I needed! Thanks!
You're welcome man!
I use that pedal trick with any distortion whether it be amps or the quad. Volume up and gain down and sculpt the sound with the pedal as well as with the amp. Good job.
Wow awesome tips, thanks!!
Thank you!
Super awesome rad 5000 to the max! I kept trying several other wacky methods to kill the muddy low end, but this does the trick. Thank you!
Thank you man! You're welcome :)
Great, I love this
Cool tips bro thanks 😊 🙏
That JTM tone was fantastic!
Thanks!
Great advice!
thanks!
I love this, great tip!!! I wish I’d known this a long time ago it woulda saved me many headaches. Subbed!!! Keep it up.
Thank you so much!
2:30 I would REALLY like to see that video about your multi-band noise gate technique!
I'll do! thanks
I can't find the video where you show this technique? Is there one or maybe a quick summary of the idea written here?
Veramente interessante!!!! Può essrre d'aiuto anche per altri sistemi secondo me!!!
Tutto il mondo del digitale…ma in realtà anche con ampli reali
This is a really great vid and it has helped me a great deal. Can I get the same results by using QC's 9 band graphic eq blocks. What settings would you recommend please?
Hi! It’s the same in reality you only need 2 band eq :) cut the low before the amp and raise after
Ciao, sono da qualche giorno possessore del QC, sono anch'io amante dei suoni high gain, ho riscontrato esattamente quel problema di cui parli nel video, il "boomy sound", proprio fastidioso sentire quel rimbombo dei bassi nei monitor, non sapevo come risolvere, per cui il tuoi consigli sull'uso dell'EQ mi aiuteranno senz'altro. Bravo!
cool tips! Did you know you can toggle blocks on or off by quickly tapping twice on the block? Might save you some time.
Oh thank you! new thing learnt :)
This is basically how the old MK-series Mesa amps should be setup. Cut low and some prescence before the gain stage (EQ is pre-gain on those) and brinc the low and bite back with the classic Mesa 5-band graphic EQ (smily face curve).
Yes this is true due to the fact that the eq is pre-gain as you said
@@MadSteex WOW thanks for sharing ! awesome bruh
The advice is really great! Could you please share the exact numbers for 1st and 2nd EQ just to understand where I can start?
Numbers? what you mean? the frequencies?
@@MadSteex yep exactly, how I should setup the eq for dumb users 🥲
@@TheMrsvp You can simply cut before the amp the 200-300 Hz but remember to preserve the bass with a second EQ after the cabinet with a low shelf of 3/4 db from the 300 HZ...Use mainly your ears
Low cutting the DI before the amp is TIGHT!! (also, can you please share the gating trick with us?)
Yes, I'll do a dedicated video ;)
Awesomw tip! Im managing to get it to work well with a single amp but I normally run stereo (2 5150, 2 cabs, 7ms delay infront of one, and panned left snd right) however im still struggling to get it as tight as good as this in stereo. Tips?
If you are talking about recordings and not live: ua-cam.com/video/h74WX-wFlXE/v-deo.html
@@MadSteex thanks for the reply! Unfortunatly its for live, im struggling to get a big tight stereo sound without it sounding supper mushy and boomy. Would you have any eq tips? I wish I could just have more hands to play more guitars live!
@@kierancassidy8429 I think you could try to use the same trick I suggested with the link before
@@kierancassidy8429 If you can go to a DAW, you can try with the Trans X plugin by waves or the Abbey road saturator by waves which sounds amazing when you saturate high frequency, sounds compressed and could help on the picking
@@MadSteex thanks man! Ill give it a try
Hi, would you say these are standard settings for any of the high gain amps on the cortex or will the EQ settings you had before and after the amp be massively different?.Thanks
Almost standard… maybe just a bit of tweak depending an the amplifier if has more bottom…but more or less is the same process
@@MadSteex have you got any patches you have uploaded to the cloud on the cortex and if so what’s your username?.Thanks
@@gazzaduce3424 here are my QC captures/presets www.presetsforall.com/shop
@@MadSteex cool.I’ve spoken you before and I’ve bought your arch enemy pack.Hopefully there are some more full metal patches as I like them ones over just a certain amp.
@@gazzaduce3424 There will be! :)
Is the preset available on the cloud want to try this trick with my current preset
Hi the preset is available on this pack www.presetsforall.com/product-page/evh-5150-iconic-neural-dsp-quad-cortex-capture-presets
Is your guitar plugged into the QC or a DI Box first?
directly
@@MadSteex Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
And now i would ask, IR or cab? And what’s your idea on both
Always my own IR from my cabs and microphone. Cause I know the specific sound of my cabinet and I've captured very well every details. I'm not able to find a great sound with other 3rd party IRs, I'm sincer.
When I can I prefer always to listen my playing through a real cabinet, different feeling. But to record, is faster and easier to use my own IRs. Instand great tones
Thank you very much for the answer! I ask because i had difficulty finding any good sounding cab in the QC, you end up trimming it a lot and still feel really boomy and undefined, you might have to do a video on using and trimming your cab sim i would listen for sure!
Why not upload your captures to Cortex cloud in stead of using a service which wants to install crap on my pc?
Which crap?
@@MadSteex I went back and clicked the link again and was presented with all your presets for sale, cool. Earlier I clicked the same link and the page wanted me to download and install a .exe of some sort to access the presets so I closed the page down. Will try the same link via TOR Onion and see what happens.
@@neildeakin4454 maybe was ads.. don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ if you need more info let me know via mail on the website 😉
To anyone else reading my first comment, the link took me to a store where QC captures/presets are for sale. The first time I clicked it took me elsewhere but I suspect it could be my browser got infected. Will give my system a check with Bitdefender.
@@MadSteex Will do fella. Deffo not adds. Some sort of malware or ransomewear attempt
Great video and excellent idea - but your first download link goes to a pretty dodgy website.
Is for human verification :) wait and click and you will find the downloadable product
It also comes up positive for viruses :(
@@moomarsguitars it's clean man.
