CraigGT Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 So this started when I watched a video of Matt Schofield explaining how he gets his tone. Most of the time he is using a single slapback echo and reverb on his clean sound so I set about recreating it. The slapback was easy enough using a Transistor tape but it was two bright so I added an EQ after it to darken the echo, this made my straight through signal too dark so I moved them to a parallel path and made the mix 100%. Then I noticed my straight through signal was quiet so I added a +3.5dB gain block to it (this bit I do understand after a lifetime working in telecoms) but then I noticed that when I bypassed the delay my level went up again (now getting a straight through signal through the bypassed echo) so I added a gain block after the echo and eq and linked it's gain to the bypass switch. So to get Matt Schofields very subtle tone thickner has used an echo block, an EQ block, two gain blocks, a spring reverb and a parallel path! It does sound good though :-) Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
