I'm the long haired, hippie freak in left corner. Still don't know the tune 100% (heresy, I know), so there are quite a few clams and more than a bit of gratuitous soloing. This is my purple swamp ash Strat with Rio Grandes. The tone, albeit it a nice one (IMO anyway), just isn't very country and is very midrangy. The Ragin' Cajun in my SCXD sounds great for rock, but I'm trying to get a twangier, less midrangy tone for this county project.
The basic tone is a SCXD with Ragin' Cajun speaker, channel 2, voice 4 (Blackface clean) which is supposed to be a scooped sort of tone. It's just about the only decent voice for cleans as the others just have way too much midrange for my tastes (with this speaker). I've got an H2O delay on the whole time to fatten up the sound. For the solos I used either an Xotic AC or RC depending on whether on wanted a just over the edge tone or a bit more grind. Close miked about midway between the center and edge of the speaker with a Sennheiser E609; I just draped it over.
I'm really considering an Eminence Copperhead to replace the Ragin' Cajun. Based on the reviews I've read and the samples I've heard, it has a much more subdued midrange which should allow me to get some more cluck and twang out of the SCXD. Any country guys in here that can point me in the right direction?
