Rockabilly Slap
This is the slapback-echo sound used in rockabilly and country.
The BLACK PANEL amp produces a clean sound that is bright and
sweet, with a powerful midrange and high end supported by a thick
bass.
By making the low and high ends more prominent while keeping them
balanced, and also suppressing the midrange if the situation calls for it,
you can bring out the dazzling resonance of the guitar even more
beautifully.
The sound of a guitar that has single-coil pickups with heavy tremolo
and reverb applied is also distinctive.
Mersey Beat
This is the famous Liverpool sound of years gone by.
This sound features a mild distortion that still lets all the notes in
a
chord come through clearly and distinctly.
Raise the midrange and presence on the BRIT COMBO amp to create
a
lively, energetic sound.
Adjust the GAIN knob so that the sound doesn’t distort too much when
you play chords.
Using a rear pickup provides a powerful sound with no muddiness,
producing a beautiful resonance when mixing open strings with
chords.
The sound may distort excessively if you’re using a high-output guitar,
such as one with humbucker pickups. If this happens, reduce the gain
to obtain a better balance of guitar sound and distortion. In some cases
you can also adjust the sound by cutting back the low end.
Dynamic Style
DYNA AMP is an original amp that uses relative picking intensity to
create changes in distortion depth.
First, adjust the GAIN knob so that a clean tone is obtained with soft
picking and heavy distortion is obtained when you pick hard.
Now mixing arpeggios played with a gentle touch along with firmly
picked chords and solos results in a guitar sound with huge dynamics.
Now, to create a broader, more open sound, cut the midrange and raise
the low end and presence.
Using this in combination with the EFX as well as delay and reverb
creates a sound with an even greater feeling of scale.
