I'm looking for some tips on scooping a guitar. I'm going from almost all mid-boosted punk to playing alot of thrashy type metal rhythm, and as much as I try I can't get the dirt tight enough with the mids in there.
I've tried scooping on the amp, but it sounds like ***. I've found I get better results from using slightly boosted mids and scooping with an EQ in the loop (I have a serial loop).
The amp is a Rectifier, and I'm using a Furman PQ-3 Parametric EQ for this. I tried using a Boss GE-7, but it 1) didn't have the headroom, and 2) was too broad a sword for this delacate a carving.
Basically, if you have any tips on what freq(s) to cut and by how many db.....and what freq(s) to boost and by how many db.....well, it would be much appreciated.
P.S. - If it's any help, I'm using James Hetfield as my starting point.
