Orange tiny terror mids

[professorlamp]

So, I don't know why I'm only just noticing this now but I seem to be getting the honkiest tone (or atleast I think I am) out of my amp.

Typically I dial the tone knob at around 12, not too bright/bassy, put on some headphones and find a good mic position but when I finally get to putting it under a microscope and listening when I'm mixing I find myself constantly making up to a 6db cut in the mids just to get rid of the honk.

Here's a quick mix to show you what I mean

Maybe I'm just over scooping but do any of you other orange users have this sort of problem?

I've had this problem through other cabs aswell, from 4x12's to 1x12's it still exists.

Weird, the diference between the 2 doesn`t sound like a 6db cut to me . The non scooped one sure is a bit on the honky side but not that much . Good tone btw .

I prefer it without the mid cut

I think it works better with the cut in a mix sense. I know you weren't talking about the other elements, but I think you'd have a really cool sludge/hardcore sort of sound if you upped the bass a little, dropped the kick back a fair bit and left it at that with the mid cut guitars.

I was more thinking in a mix sense actually, should've stated that

The amp really is just honky as fuck. I keep my tone knob at like 9:00 with V30's, it's kind of insane.

I prefer it without the mid cut

I agree.

I think both tones are very good and are certainly "usable."

Also, if I were getting these tones out of a Tiny Terror I certainly wouldn't be disappointed.

 

[professorlamp]

fair enough, thought it was just me
suprised you liked the tones too

edit: also since some of you seem to like this tone just thought I'd let you know it's coming from a 1x12. I know for a fact that's not where the mids are coming from as I had the same problem with my 4x12 as I already stated

Those tones have a great vintage 70s rock sound. Really prefer them to the modern stuff.

Yeah it is a pretty mid heavy amp. shame as the sound is really good it just needs an eq to shape it a bit more for modern metal.
