Title: Cold Sweat Neck and Bridge Soundclip
Post by: RichieB on March 18, 2009, 10:25:16 AM

I put this together last night for some fun & to see how 'John Sykes' I could get with a set of Cold Sweats. Great pickups!

Brilliant! :) :lol:

Nice playing, nice tone, really good production job too - what guitar/amp/recording setup did you use?

Good job! I think you nailed that pretty well  :D

As you may have taken from my nickname I am a John Sykes fan.

Cheers Stephan

Thanks for your replies guys!

As I say, it was a bit of fun, as I'm a big fan of John Sykes. It was recorded it on my home setup, which is an elderly Mac running Logic Express, using all the onboard drum samples and stuff with a POD (also pretty old!) in 'Rectified' mode. I've found a bit of low shelving and a little presence boost makes it more life-like and chunky, with less of the boom. The guitar sounds sweeter thorough a real amp though -oh, for a Boogie Studio Pre-amp..!

Cheers!

Rich.

Haha, that's so cool it made me laugh out loud.  :lol:   

Great job!   Even if it is "just" a Pod and some basic software.  Why can't I do that?

Great stuff - very nice indeed. I must admit that I have never heard any John Sykes before!

Cool, the rhythm guitar sound is spot on, just like 1984 again!

Sorry Antag, you asked about the guitar -it's a Les Paul Custom. Black, of course...!

Cheers,

Rich.
