I've been on a total Steve Evetts binge lately...
I've been really into his mixes and have a hard time figuring out what exactly he does to achieve this kind of tone... It's like honky almost but in a good way and it sounds fucking awesome. Been trying to wrap my head around it.
Examples would be Architects The Here And Now or Our Last Night's The Ghosts Among Us...
The recent Architects video shows a Blackstar and/or Orange heads being used and articles have said he's a big fan of Chandler pre's and other vintage outboard gear. I figured it may be a combination of dynamic/ribbon up close, the dynamic for lowmids- having a gradual shelf on the high end and then maybe a ribbon for the upper mids and smooth highs and I'm guessing automates a condenser he may have had placed a few feet in his room... Boost pedal on a low gain setting and no mids being scooped?
No idea about the guitar build/pickup or cab/speaker and how that would play
I have no idea
This is all off of assumption though since I have none of those resources to play with. But I'd figure that would be my general approach to achieve that sound.
Any of you guys that dig his sound? I'm hoping a few seniors on here with experience with vintage gear or information on Steve or with general knowledge of getting in that ballpark would chime in. That would be awesome.
Thanks!
