A very ‘exotic’ solution to a problem that’s easily solved by installing a lower output pickup.

The boy has got some skills, that’s for sure. 👍

I haven’t bought one, but a buddy of mine got one and I tried it. Glary noise gate. One knob and a switch. 25 bucks via Amazon. Best noisegate I’ve ever used at any price.

Good luck with that. I have a few sitting dormant. It’s getting increasingly harder to find bulbs for them. (Allthough I haven’t checked online)

Nice playing, btw.

Here’s someone who has definitely mastered channeling the feel and tone of the original artist

At the risk of being a bad guy……Here it comes. You’re wasting your time with fiddling with tone knobs and mic placement. No amount of ‘eq fixes’ will fix the lack of confidence that comes through in your recordings. You need to work on your playing. There have been plenty of of suggestions...

Sounds like the middle pickup is out of phase with the humbuckers. As to the 3 wire humbucker….. it used to be that splitting a pickup used 4 wires. Two were soldered together and when they touched ground it shorted out one coil giving you a single coil sound. 3 wire is the same thing, it’s...

Can’t help with vocals but great job on the tune so far.

I don’t think the new tape would be sticky. You have a clean tape path? Here’s a wild guess but who knows….. Might need new belts? As the belts heat up they start slipping. After it cools down they work for a bit until they heat up again. Belts do stretch out and heat has an effect on them...

I bet it’s sticky shed.

I think there’s some users of this machine on this forum. Came across this video might be useful.

The playing is a bit rough, but your tone is better than some previous clips you put up. So, there is improvement!

People starting a thread, especially those asking for help, and NOT contributing to their own thread is disrespectful in my opinion. But on the flip side, member responses may help others. So it’s not a total waste.

I’ve always had better luck recording with a smaller body acoustic.
