How do Opeth get their live guitar tone?
Read First: Opeth FAQ - Ultimate Metal ForumThere has been much debate over this - namely wether a majority of Opeth's distorted sound comes from the amps or their pedalboards. I managed to find an interview with Peter that puts some of these matters to rest. We have a Boss GT6 pedal board, which has all the effects in it, like distortion and delay. We only use the clean sound in the amps, always, which is a good thing. We don't have to use the amp distortion and rely on that. See similar questions...
What are you using for your clean tone live?
Reb Beach - Interview 2005I have said before, I use a Guild Hartke bass head. It is made to be loud and clean. It has an effects loop, a graphic eq and compression. It's like it was made for a huge clean tone. People always remark on my clean tone and it just sounds like it was made for guitar. There is no weirdness, which is what I expected when I came up with the idea and tried it. See similar questions...
What are your thoughts on live tone?
Reb Beach - Reb's GearThe guitarists from Cinderella have always had GREAT, fat tones. Not only because there are two guys, but both guys use stock, ancient Marshalls and beautiful collectors' '59 Strats and Les Pauls. I work very hard on my tone and had some comments that it sounded a bit thin out front. So we cut back the distortion (or "hair" as I like to call it) and the soundman was able to crank the rhythms. Otherwise, the kick drum and bass eat up the lower, fat frequencies of the guitar. See similar questions...
How is the filter knob on the RAT distortion pedal different from the tone control on a guitar?
RAT: Home of the Pro Co RAT Distortion PedalThe RAT pedal's filter control is a variable low-pass filter that allows a selective high-frequency cut after the signal has been amplified, equalized and limited by the distortion circuitry, thus allowing the control over the higher-order harmonics that is an absolute necessity in order to obtain a smooth, "fat" lead guitar tone.
