I am really enjoying your videos! I downloaded a few of your presets off the fender cloud and they sound amazing! Best presets I've found. I look forward to learning more. Thank you Damion!
hahaha that's awesome. I was just messing around trying to learn new things and then I unlocked this sorcery. Hope you're feeling blessed homie, thank you for watching!
Wow - you were'nt kidding - that is a SHOCKINGLY simple trick; hidden in plain sight - but a true game changer. Setting a loop like this is gonna save soooo much time trying out different mic configurations.. Super helpful EQ tips in this vid too brother - Keep up the awesome content - you've helped immensely in just 3-4 weeks
Haha glad I could help, sorry I couldn’t remember your last name! Thank you for asking about this on livestream and inspiring a whole video! If there’s anything else I can help with, let me know. In the meantime, know I appreciate your support!
I have been really trying to improve my tone and you answered some of what I have been wondering about how much low end and mid I should add. Thank you for sharing
I was just trying to figure out how to re-amp. The best part of this when recording into your DAW, you don't have the tone "imprinted". Meaning, you can change settings on the rig after you record your guitar parts.
Haha yeah man. I haven’t used it much for reamping, but I tend to record the dry signal, too. I still love some of those NeuralDSP reverb pedals. I also use automation within my DAW, which opens you up to another kind can of worms. Which amps are you using the most on the TMP?
@@damionandy Dude, this thing is amazing. I have a CCR amp, a "Eugene's Trick Bag" amp, a parallel processing amp, I just got done messing the Orange amp, I have a SRV tone. You name it, you can pretty much copy any tone you want it's amazing. As far as a favorite amp goes, I don't know mostly just been tone copy pasta for me. But I have a "Orange Heavens" preset that kind of blows my mind. Tangerine Head with an IR I got from SweetWater when I bought the thing.
Low-end is not where the guitar plays, that area of the sound spectrum belongs to the bass and kick drum…. And THAT is an entirely different video😂. Great stuff here! Thanks for sharing!
I agree! When you're jamming at home that low end chug makes the tone sound full, but in a live band situation the guitar is supposed to be in that mid range area... I run the sound in my band & I've actually had a few pro sound engineers come up and tell me how good the mix is and how clear everything is.... it's tuff love but each musician in the band needs to stay in their lane and know their role
btw nice statement love your mids. but you have to be careful. mids are a very populated area in music. so you have to choose carefully which mids to boost, since there might be a singer and a keyboarder and another guitarist. Best thing you can do, is to "tune" the whole bandsound together, so you can avoid "mid wars" between the keys hornsection and the aretha franklin vocalist choir and the organ doubling the second guitar. if you know what i mean. In most videos i see concerning guitarsound, there is allways the argument with "play in the mix" but seldomly there is advice about how to important it is, not only to get "your mids" right, but that the whole band gets their own little "midspot" to chill. the teamwork of the whole band is the key, no guitar riff can shine, no matter how many mids are involved, if the synth guy shits the hell of a wall of a sound occupying every bit of the soundspectrum. i amm so often surprised how effective it is to lower e.g. the keyboard mids in a certain spot, instead of boosting the vocals and or the guitar what ever.
My comments are mostly coming from a traditional band setting, but you’re right. In these videos, I’m not covering mixing all together. My aim is to raise awareness of the mix as a whole. It’s really easy to be bass heavy on modelers, from my experience, so I’m just trying to help haha
Because it’s mostly a minor inconvenience, not an actual problem. I just hope if enough people mention it, Fender will address it. With the volume issue, it is still the most fun to use and best sounding modeler for me. I own the AxeFx3 and haven’t turned it on since I got the TMP
@@damionandy I appreciate the response. Good information. I’d like to request another video from you using the Tone Master to make the guitar sound “better”. Meaning using your expertise regarding sound engineering while creating rigs and using tone options, and explaining why it makes the guitar sound better. Your discussion about midrange and low range, and how they effect the guitar was a lightbulb moment for me. I bet most players would like to hear you explain further about this topic.
@@Cleveland_Chris have you seen the latest video I put out? I kinda cover this. Would love if you watched it and then left me a comment with questions for me to answer in another video
I have the foot switch accessory from Chad Boston! Check the link in the bio. DAMION20 will save you 20% if you decide you want to accessorize your modeler (he makes everything for every modeler)
@@damionandy It sounds solid so far, (if I've done it right lol) I've not had any problems with it, just a basic setup, back to work and will play with more later.
It's the best way to home in on your preferred sound, it's awesome! 😉 After the latest update with scenes, the urge to buy a TMP is really triggering to my GAS nerves... If my multieffect breaks right now it will be the TMP! Like your channel! 👍 ...and you have a dog!
sorry Damion, the moment the dog came in you lost my attention. there is no way you can compete against this furry presence ! :) Give him a nice headscratch from me.
cutting the lows, sounds worse I think. .. taste is very different.. its audible even in the 20 hertz range ... maybe the speaker doesn't response correct.. ? or some settings are off.. like ohms or something. in my experience all the "life" and realism in sound happens in the lower end . listened to (the thrill is gone) with bb king and Stevie ray on my stereo that went down to low 20 hz range ... there was bass notes my friend had not heard before because of the low end cutoff on normal speakers at 40 50 ish hz... Over and undertones give the music realism.. deaf people go clubbing and dancing.. they FEEL the lower frequencies.. and dance to them. even lower volumes too. cutting low end .. is something I do when speakers are not up to the task , ... our ears can hear down to about 20 hz. cutting the low and... from an elephant rumble for example... would be like hearing it from your TV speaker... even if you are 2 meters from the animal. The low end in a tigers roar ... makes you freeze in fear. But it's also the most challenging frequencies to recreate. even for a midrange instrument like a guitar .. actually especially for guitar ... in my opinion... You absolutely DONT want to cut the lows ... unless you MUST. because the speakers can't handle it.... try a blind test on some friends.. Celestion creamback is better speakers imo . /
Sound is subjective, but as a sound engineer - I keep in mind the entire mix. In the lower end of frequencies, your kick drum and bass eat most of the frequency spectrum. While I understand you enjoy the lower end side of guitar, that's okay haha. Just keeping in mind of a mix, I still cut. You aren't taking away ALL low end, but you are taming it. At the end of the day, your rig, your sound, your choice
@@damionandy sound is preference.. some like to ride Kawasaki, I love the Harleys .. but a Harley without straight pipes... that's almost embarrassing. lol .. Bassnotes below 30 hz is very audible, but normally left out from mix. tvs / pcs/ and cheap stereos are the norm .. some adjust and are used to it .. most people don't realise the amount of power consumed by lower frequencies. that power ... is transformed into something.. you could put a million watts into 0 to 15 hertz. tell me you don't feel anything ... when its inaudible.. your hair, clothes and inner organs will feel it . ears might pop.. no its not noticeable in a small 2 inch speaker. . but an 18 inches that moves air.. ? ... your bones will rattle and you will FEEL the music .... why do they put giant subwoofers in cinemas ? . dedicated to ONLY super low frequencies . ... with a huge price tag.. if you cannot hear or feel any difference ?. subwoofers in cars break windows end more . people love to FEEL music.. my completely deaf (x) girlfriend went clubbing a lot .. she could tell songs apart and dance to bass and drum ,. the higher frequencies .. mid or highs.. was as dead as her ears to her .

That's awesome! What’s been the most valuable take away from the videos? Also, what’s your favorite preset?
I literally googled how to change the looper position yesterday 😂 it’s a game changer
hahaha that's awesome. I was just messing around trying to learn new things and then I unlocked this sorcery. Hope you're feeling blessed homie, thank you for watching!
Great tip, this is a gamechanger for me! I really appreciate your consistent support for us TMP users over the past year!

Out of curiosity, if volume is an issue, why don’t you use the Helix or a different make?

yeah. May sound simple, but until you actually do it, you don't realize how nice it is.
