Help ! To much bass (death metal guitar)

[Mutant]

Hi 8)

Can you please download this short clip and eq out bass frequencies to make the clip listenable on it's own (without any bass guitar underneath), on your monitors and tell me the correct eq / hipass or downward compressor settings.

I don't have proper monitors to do it myself (only crappy 10$ headphones )

And tell me if it sounds good to you after the eq.

Why ?
It is an experimental, artifical impulse response - i wanted it to give me a "different" sound hehe

Simulanalog JCM900

try the SD1 Simulanalog in front of it... it should help tightening up the bottom end...

Ok so no one here thinks that there is too much bass in the clip.
Thanks

Ok I dowloaded the file and I think ther isn't to much bass on the guitar, ther is a strange effect in it...like a gate, remove it.

Hehe It was just an experiment and the strangeness was intentional.

Oh you mean A GATE ! I missed it the first time

I think that i have to use a gate because without it my EMG707+heavy bottom strings sound too muddy when i try to do palm mutes ( if i press hard enough and far enough from the bridge to mute them correctly the note becomes too sharp maybe its because my palm is not soft enough or maybe it's because i'm a shitty player )

A gate won't help that if I know what you're talking about. Maybe you need a multi band comp or a limiter.

Without a gate i get a sound like "jooooommmmmm" and if i use one i get a normal "joom joom joom". (j like in a name James)

I don't know maybe i strum too hard (after 10 years of powerlifting i think i have a very heavy hand).

This thread inspired me to use a gate for palm mutes (thanks Nitronium Blood)

ps. I'll never be a guitar god like Dimebag was.

Try a tubescreamer or the SD-1 like said before

Yes try an od pedal, but I think that with the emg 707 is difficult to give muddy sounds, yes you nedd a good comp...
