Teles have been around for a long time and loved, recorded, played live by countless professional guitarists of wide ranging genres.
If you don't like it, that's fine. But if you can't dial a decent tone, that's probably you. |

I'm sure there is a polite and delicate way to handle this, and that I would be a better human being if I were able to accomplish it.

It doesn't change my point, teles have been recorded by engineers and producers in countless classic recordings. So one has to wonder, is it the failure of the player in dialing a good tone or the engineer in capturing it? On a side note, don't just tag people as 'butthurt' just because they disagree with you. I'm don't own a tele and neither am I a fan of its piercing bridge tone. But I would never question its ability to produce great tones because many of my favourite guitar tones were incidentally recorded with a tele. This includes stuff ranging from the Stones to Led Zep I to Jeff Buckley. So, after reading a full page of harsh opinions, it's just a thought that jumped out to me. Pardon me if I should have put a 'tame' filter, but my point still stands. |

Previous forumers so far have given constructive comments: add this, tweak that, use another tool etc. I appreciate these suggestions, and intend to try them out.
U, on the other hand, compare me to industry professionals (I'm obviously not) and essentially scoff at my attempts. Ur defending a piece of wood like its a mark of ur honor, u've contributed nothing positive and u've chided me in the process. And when I call u out ur, wat, upset? Sorry, not sorry. Like I said, its my personal opinion, I'm not trying to convince anyone. Dont butthurt la, lets just agree to disagree. |

First of all, it wasn't a comment directed specifically at you. It was a light-hearted jab at all the negative comments on the guitar, yet you seem to have taken it as a personal scoff. It's not. Siapa makan cili, dia rasa pedas. Relax. U, on the other hand, compare me to industry professionals (I'm obviously not) and essentially scoff at my attempts. Ur defending a piece of wood like its a mark of ur honor, u've contributed nothing positive and u've chided me in the process. And when I call u out ur, wat, upset? Sorry, not sorry. Like I said, its my personal opinion, I'm not trying to convince anyone. Dont butthurt la, lets just agree to disagree. From what I gathered from the last few posts, I get the impression that you lot are saying that that the guitar is the problem. All I'm saying is the problem isn't in the guitar, but the users. That's all. Lastly, what constructive comments? Has anyone actually ask you what genre you were recording? Or what tone your guitarist was trying to achieve? What amp and amp setting was he using? What mic was being used? What is it in the track that doesn't sit right in the mix? Without all these information, how could any suggestion be considered constructive? All posts were just off-handed light-hearted comments like "icepick", "get a superior guitar" and "campak jauh jauh" etc. You seemed to accept those comments, so why is it that I semi-jokingly question the users, it doesn't sit right with you? I'm not upset, I'm just bemused by your reaction. |

Anyway for the sake of forum peace, I'll leave it as it is and will not reply any further on the tele discussion. Have a good weekend and rock on folks!
PS: I guess this just highlights the difficulty that Quarantined has brought up earlier. QUOTE How do you tell your guitarist that his tone/effect/guitar sounds bad?? hahaha It's much easier to question the equipment than the user. |

Pardon me if I should have put a 'tame' filter, but my point still stands. can one mellow out a teles ice pick ? yes, bring in a marshall JMP, hook it into the "normal" channel and the tele's ice pick would be drowned under the marshall growl. or put the mic further, in an iso room, bring up the volume . or use a ribbon mic all the above can be found in many bigger studios, or least teh studios that the great reside in but most of us dont have such equipments, nor the skills to use them (cause dont even have them), what most of us have is kinda like an SM57 (a bright mic) , hook it though a humble interface (like a scarlett or line6) then record it though our respective pirated or freeware DAW. If its a studio? its a marshall MG, not a JMP likewise even the tele, which sound different from model to model, nocasters have mud wiring, FCS can go from fat to icepick depending on the season, squires which are icepick for all seasons. but i guess you get my point its a bit wrong to compare our humble selves to the players in Valhalla, we tend to be blinded by why are they diff, kinda like "why employee can, and you cannot?" logic. then you find out, sure she can ma, she sucks diks for sales |

Tekki, the comparison to the pros is just an example. I'm sure there are countless amateurs and indie bands who have gotten significant mileage from a Tele, studio or live.
And mind you, many of the classic records were recorded with ancient technology often with strict limitations. Led zep I was recorded in a week, and funded solely by Jimmy Page's earnings from his sessions. (I couldn't remember but I believe he used a small Supro amp for that album?) Still sounds amazing and comparable to his later LP tone. Much of Stones classic songs were recorded even earlier. DAWs, software VST effects, cheap guitars and cheap digital amps these days are far more better than what they had those days IMHO. To borrow your metaphor, it's more like "Oh I should give up climbing my career ladder since my family didn't have the dough to send me overseas for a PhD". Having said that, all this Tele chatter makes me wanna go play one. The last time I did was a decade ago when I was deciding if between a Tele and Strat. |

I like the tele, been my go to for a while now, but i recognize that trying to get a heavy djent tone out of it is near impossible with the hardware i use it with. Likewise i know it tends to icepick for fun, dislikes heavy attacks and pierces like no tomorrow.

I think some perspective is needed, this is the studio that recorded Led Zep 1, Stones, and many other records in rock history Page Recording Led Zep 2 - 1969 this is how big it is BBKing I dont know about you, but id willingly give away every new and cheap effects, call it heresy and baptise myself in vintage snake oil to own a studio bigger than my house. well, if the family is not of a wealthy background, the odds of a kid getting a foreign PHD is very low. speaking of recording QUOTE(pleasuresaurus @ Apr 20 2018, 10:26 AM) you use any IR stuff? i kinda got into it recently recabing a dry signal might help it |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Apr 20 2018, 10:48 PM) speaking of recording I did actually toy with the idea some time ago, of perhaps using an IR loader for the DAW, then thought I'd just get the Helix and load it in there instead. But after playing around with the Helix I felt that my current setup wasn't really doing it justice, so KIVed the whole plan until I can get a decent speaker solution.

My mixing also barai anyway when using digital amp sim 1 super important thing are the guitar input level, too low=dull, too loud=clipping/harsh so must find "chill" zone haha Another is the IR cabinet itself...it didnt provide the "airy feeling" so later on had to add buss/fx.send for some amount reverb/delay to get the feel like we usually listening to actual guitar amp speaker from 1,5,10 meter. Someone did mentioned about delay to cover harshness/sharp notes <<< true, chorus pedal with rate,width,intensity knob at 0 also can do the trick |
