I’ve removed a lot of mids but I’m still feeling somethings sounds off. I can’t tell if the tone feels to bright to me any advice would help. (Having to record on my phone so apologies for the shitty audio)

#

maybe to me (though my ear is somewhat untrained) its a little too bright but thats about it

Like a tad chunkier even tho dimebag has a really thin tone

#

Could just be that it’s a helix bc they always sound a bit off

it needs a decent bit of work but its pretty decent, i also agree dimes tone is NOT thin

#

seen him so many times irl and its so different for one and two its heavy and crushing, not thin like youd think

The basic tone is ok and actually close I think - you just kinda need to tame it a bit.

#

The biggest issue to me is the bass - which u can fix by a simple low cut - a bit push at the root note and a bit away on the lows after that. Then you still have to much low mids for that CG tone - and some anyoing frequencys which also coud be due to the bad recording. The anoying pinch harmonics is a playing issue - nothing to fix there on the sound board rly.

#

simple and short example

#

U hear A/B/A - so orig. / edit / orig. for comparrison. Compare it to the recording

#

Thats basicly a low cut + tamed mids + a high shelf but also a high cut + and the remove of 4 anoying frequencys, biggest issue is 2500hz imo. Might be abit over the top but I hate mixing guitars without drums and bass anyway - shoud just show direction.

I would also say go to your cab and mess around with the microphone position and distance

#

Also what amp and cab are you using?

Add a eq pedal

#

A physical EQ pedal for like 30 or 40 bucks is all you need from there
