How do i get my audio signal to Twang?

What causes Twang?

How do i make my preamps ,eq's settings sound more Twang ?

What gives it that Twang sound?

If i record a basic dry D.I signal how do i make it twang?

Twang is caused by something that is twangy. The twanginess of the thing makes it sound twangy. When you play it, it goes "twang", giving it a certain - how do you say - TWANG!

Got it?
 
I've heard that if you wrap the mic cord tightly around your anus in a puckering fashion, then something will twang.

This is true... documented in recent AES white papers. While complex in theory it's simple in practice. You route the audio signal into a tele pickup with some quick soldering or clips, then out from the guitar's jack. Twang parameter control is achieved through pickup selection and the tone potentiometer.

Hey, glad to see someone else keeps up on this stuff! The white paper goes on to say "Early attempts at incorporating this principal into a 19" rack mount chassis proved un-successful. Intense spectrasonic analysis proved that the twang factor was closely coupled with the wood of the telecaster, including the neck and associated hardware. Much more research will have to be done in the areas of quantum physics and the virtual folding of guitar necks before this can be realized"

mmmmmmm....Twang....I love that stuff.
Didn't the argonauts, or astromutts, or somebody famous drink this stuff? All orangey and stuff....tasty!
 
I found this over at another forum...slightly different topic but I think it still applies...

someone somewhere else said:
Yer all crazy. Run a line level into your face, at say... 9, or 74 ohms. Make sure your using balenced cable, cause shit...

Place the mic on your uncle, he's a prick (i assume, aren't they all) and then just friggin' re-amp it into your face, you see?

Thats how they got the bonham sound dude, so shit.

Toss each item into the air and hit it across the street with a swing of a metal baseball bat. Twang. If you can aim successfuly at a car you'll get a double twang.

It don't mean a thang if it ain't got that twang...dowap dowap
 
The twang is in the guitar, not in the mic or plug-in or box. Surely you must have suspected it.
 
Have you ever wondered if walters is actually a molecular biologist or a quantum physicist who just asks these kind of questions so he can sit alone in a room and laugh at the responses while playing computer chess???




Me neither...

Personally, I think Walters might be a certain prominent member of the HR forum who uses the Walters persona to vent frustration at the endlessly repeated "best microphone" and "why doesn't my first recording sound like my favorite CD?" type questions. Or maybe not just venting frustration, but seeking a little tongue in cheek revenge also. :D :D

Ever wonder how Walters can have four red chicklets and not be banned?
