For my Tele that is.  http://images.misupply.com/downloads/Line%206/PODXTdemo_Tennesee.mp3
Just wondering if anybody that has a podxt,can tell me the settings that would get me close to this tone? On Musicians Friend, it shows to be the Tennesee Gent amp model sample, using the podxt. But I just can't seem to find the settings that gives this tone with the fret buzz znd all.The tone itself I can get fairly close to, it's the fret buzz that's got me stumped. Is there a specific fx that I need to get the fret-buzz? Thanks again

You know Terry. I think you might be asking too much of it. Kind of like other specific "attack and sustain" things that might entail a sophisticated "envelope", as in a dobro simulator.
It might just be easier to lower your bridges a bit.
Here's what I've been using for tele and it seems to work pretty good.
Blackface Lux amp.
Drv 2 oclock
Bass 12
Mid mid 10
treb 2
presence 4
ch vol 2
all o'clock.
Comp thresh -53 Gain 0db
gate -71db 9 decay.
Condenser mike 50% room. 2x12 speaker model.
Delay Analog 274ms 0 feedback 30%mix,
Reverb cavernous 0 decay set to suit.
Into a set of solid state peaveys flat eq.
I have to set the output down to play it at home and get the comp to act right. Up for live situations.
Like I said I just save it to a bank of "spinal puppet/ cliffs of dover" or some such that I'll never use. To get different presets for different situations or clubs I save the same setup to all four channels of a bank and tweak each one to have different defaults like tremolo, auto-pan etc.
I'll have to try the "paisley patch", but my time is just slammed this week.
Enjoy.

| Sounds more like the player's technique, not an effect. So much sound is in the hands of great players, not the processor! [This message was edited by Ken Fox on 25 June 2006 at 04:40 PM.] |

| All I hear on that clip is a clean guitar, single coil pickup, with maybe some light compression. Ditto on the above comments about technique. Snapping and popping goes a long way! |

| I'm with Doug, Ken, and (uh oh) Eric here. That sounds like a single coil pickup, maybe with both pickups on, a compressor, and a Princeton. Those Pods are great little modeling devices, but sometimes, you don't need a model---you need the real thing. |

Terry if you like the fret buzz just lower your strings a wee bit until they rattle just a bit on the lower strings so that way when you pick the lower strings a little hard or even really hard you make the fret buzz really stand out. Now say you don't want that fret buzz sound on a slow pretty ballad the just lighten up on your touch when you play the lower strings and the fret buzz will not stand out so much.
It's really hard to interpret what you may be hearing or wanting to hear in your tone but maybe that will help. If not maybe I can play a few licks and email them to you and if you like them I can tell you exactly how I got it other than my touch because I don't know how to explain it :-)

Bob, thanks for the advice. I'd appreciate it very much if you could email me a sample of your tone. It may be just what I'm looking for.
It's not that the tone above is the only Tele tone I like, I like several Tele tones.
It just happened to be a sample on Musicians Friend. Thanks for your offer Bob.

Terry, this is a nice little clip but I am from the school of..
it's more right hand technique than anything else..
It sounds single coil'ish..not real bright not real boomy..maybe mid pickup selector on a Tele or maybe even a Strat...
My ears think they hear a thumb pick but not finger picks...
but what the heck do they know, they can't even tune a Steel correctly !

| Lightly compressed Tele with reverb, 4-way switch in series position. A stock Tele 3-way isn't going to sound like that in any pickup position, although it will be close with a phase switch and a boost pedal - high grade, like a Klon - cranked up to make up for the signal and lows loss from the out-of-phase setting. Or you could go with a Strat in switch setting #4. Either way, roll off the tone control 20% at least. |

| Terry, the fret buzz you are refering to is actualy a bouncing of the string off of the fretboard.you can get this by pulling the string up with a finger and letting it hit the fretboard,called popping..The recommended way to do it is using a thumb pick for the muted base strings and your first finger to pull and pop the other strings.I use a flat pick and pull and pop with my middle finger.What ever works..Here is a web-site that will give you what you are looking for.You will have to use the dreaded Quick Time to view the videos.This is a very good site. freeguitarvidios.com ..instructor Peter Vogl.This should be your answer..Have fun..PJ [This message was edited by Papa Joe Pollick on 26 June 2006 at 11:20 AM.] |

Thanks to all your replies. popa Joe, I also use a flat pick and middle finger. I just can't seem to work that first finger in there for some reason.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
I think all of ya'll mentioned compression in the tone on the above link. How much compression would be enough?
another question, I think Tony has or use to have a Hot rod Deville with 2x12s. I'm sure some of you other guys have owned one. What would be the settings on the amp you guys would use to get a good Tele tone? Reason I'm asking is a friend of mine at church just bought a Hot Rod Deville with 4x10s. He told me I could plug into his amp and see if I like it, But I need to know how to set it for my Tele. Tony,and any of you guys, could ya'll help me on the settings for a good Tone. I use a flat pick and my middle finger. I'm to old to learn to play with just fingers like Tony does.

I'm of the same opinion as Ken Fox...I ain't no Tele expert, but that just sounds like guitar-amp...no EFX. I don't detect any compression really, but I do hear the buzz/snap caused by either a low action or the hard-picking/pulling up slightly on the strings. IMHO, that's certainly not advanced guitar work, and shouldn't give anyone a problem that has played lead for a couple of years. Get all the notes down, practice it about 50 times, and then work on the bass-string technique-sound. I agree with the one-pick aspect too, but it's hard to tell if it's a flat pick or a thumb pick.
Stuff with a relatively simple sound like that shouldn't require a processor, just someone who knows how to play the guitar. In my mind, gizmos should never be used to substitute for a technique you can do with your hands.
