"Cheem Terms"

[Newbie]

Hi guys,

Just wondering what does "Scooped Setting" means?

Does it mean you lower your treble and mids and roll up your bass = scooped setting?

PS: There are also other terminologies around, maybe can consolidate in here. (For setting/tone terminology).

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Newbie

fat tone? ~les paul tone?

As always, tone is a very subjective topic. One man's meat may be another man's poison.

To me, a warm tone'd be something very involving, something rich and soulful, as opposed to a very clinical and sterile tone. Analog pedals, circuits, tube amps are all part of a warm tone's equation.

Fat tone, very full and fat, as opposed to a thinny, whinny tone. Les Pauls have a fat tone, owing much to its design, its body, which is thick slab of solid wood, and also it's fixed bridge. All of which contributes to better vibrations.

I just making quick references, there are many other points to consider and learn. Hope I've helped, even if it's in a small way.

"Scooped Setting" means lowering your mids and increasing the treble and bass.

Let's say you set your amplifier to this settings,
Treble: 6 or 7
Mid: About 1 or 2
Bass: 9 or 10

You'll get a scooped sound. Usually for metal sounding guitar.

Hope this helps. Correct me if I'm wrong.

that's the typical association but other EQ settings work for metal in general, it's ultimately how you want your tone to be

Yes that's true sub . Metal bands that I often listen to like Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage turn up their mids. Sounds good!

i don't listen to those bands but i turn my mids way up... i employ as minimal treble as possible.

As mentioned, all is subjective. Haha, I like my metal tone to have a fair dose of mids as well.

And yes, I stand corrected about the LP issue.
