pedal to suck low end out of gutiars?

[dannygold]

For the kinda guitar parts I do I always take tonnes of low end out... like below 100 hz if not higher. Any pedal you can recommend to cut low end? I often record direct and reamp later, but even turning bass all the way down the amp and treble all the way up sometimes doesn't cut it so often I use plugins to HPF pre treat the guitar before reamping. I would just rather record thur a pedal or DI that savages the low end. Jingle jangle, you know?

EDIT: I know I know... guitar not gutiars. It's the keyboard on this net book!

You can get a good parametric EQ pedal and use that, and of course work on your mic positioning I guess. Backing off from the grill should hopefully reduce low end as well, right?

The TS9 Tubescreamer sucks a ton of low end out. Even when I'm playing distorted through my Orange OR80 and then engage it for solos, the low end rumble is gone.

all of these pedals should do the trick. id say pick the one you like most, but for cutting the lower freq's it might be better for you to get the bass version and just push all the faders down from 60-400. kind of like a high pass, i guess. hope this helps.

My first thought as well

This may be slightly off topic but Greg Fryer makes treble booster pedals he designed, I think, with the input of Brian May, whose Queen recording tone has always been hugely hyped in High Freq from guitar.

Not quite the same as low-cut, but that's a high-boost viewpoint...

oh exploded, i dont think a ts9 sucks out all that much bass. im a bassist and have had a ts9 as part of my arsenal for years. it makes it a little dirty but i still have that low end. if i really want to cut the bass freq's to go for a more mid rangey cut through sound i just turn on my morley and push it up, with the ts9 on of course.

Boss pedals aren't slutty enough. Ibanez TS9 doesn't remove enough low end for the OP.

You need a TS808. And to be perfectly slutty it has to be a vintage one or one of the reissues in the wooden boxtutt

[shortedaman]

for a bassist i'd say a ts9 and a Morley is pretty slutty. but that's just my opinion

Another thing to consider is the microphone. I often use a Beyer M260 ribbon for guitars, which has a pretty strong rolloff below 150. That plus the appropriate EQ on the amp, engaging the 80Hz high pass on the pre-amp, and of course the correct playing style, makes for a fairly light low end already before any EQ.

Nor would the OP want distortion... jingle jangle, remember? Unless the TS does clean sound? I wouldn't know. Not a distortion guy, expect maybe light tube amp distortion.

I do have that mic... good idea. I guess for me a lot of it is that I'm tracking direct using then amp modelers for ruff mixes and then reamping later so the mic doesn't enter into until much later. I mean I guess it works fine to HPF it with a plugin... it's just that I know I'm not using those freqs so it seems like it might be better to just cut it going in... what about the EH tube eq?

use linear phase eq itb imo if you work with reamping
try to suck the 120Hz rumble out with notch style filter and use a hpf 80Hz maybe, also kill some nasty highend with a slight high-cut
don´t use a pseude colour eq, look for accurate phase
it´s cool if the speaker is more relaxed imo
i don´t know your room, but less energy down could also help the room, if you want to put room mic(s)
guitars live in the mids in a mix, even with death metal
low end has to be fast and dry, no nasty build up imo, precise movement, focused
peace
