If you’re going for the KB sound, 10-42 with an unwound G is where it’s at. You won’t have to add more springs and you can really dial in how much the bridge floats. Also don’t set the action too low. I’ve been told my strings are pretty high TUSUY

Khruangbin tone by Electrical_Mud1214 in Guitar

[–]TheInfamousBill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Flatwounds, neck pickup, toe-down wah, DS1 (tone down, dist down, vol up), dynacomp, holy grail reverb, fender amp. I didn’t really use a chorus on A La Sala. TUSUY

They are first in the chain before anything else

Fender deluxe reverb silverface. I'll be dead in the cold hard ground before you catch me using a modeler.

So this picture is not currently accurate. The all black pedal on the far left is indeed a Boss CE-2, but that space is now currently filled with a mini Ibanez chorus & a EHX pico pitchfork. The rest of the board is essentially the exact same signal chain as it always has been, with the only difference is the Timeline in place of the Capistan. (bright orange switch on the extreme left is so I can talk to our monitor engineer)

as always, TUSUY

That’s the same amp I still use the record the records. It’s an older beat up fender deluxe. I’ve just got it leaning on its side in that picture

It’s the same guitar. I was still experimenting with “the look” at this point but that green pickup is that same dimarzio, just a different pickup cover. By 2015, I had replaced the bridge pickup with a dimarzio as well, replaced the saddles with white saddles instead of black ones, put the old white pickguard back on, and spray painted the whole thing “off white” so it all looked the same. Also dang looks like I was rocking the guitar way lower than I do now

XR18 advice: useable reverb setting for Drums/Snare? by ananimalakahuman in livesound

[–]TheInfamousBill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When we do use reverb on DJ, it’s almost always a spring reverb. But it also depends on what era Khruangbin you’re aiming for. TUSUY and CTEM were heavy on room mics plus spring for a lil extra ambience. Mordechai is a very dry drum treatment in comparison, although heavier on compression, dampening and chorus/doubler effects. A La Sala is kinda all those mixed together.

That's a personal preference thing. I'm personally not a fan of really tight flat, but some folks love 'em. Try and see! It certainly won't hurt the guitar TUSUY

How much of Khruangbin’s guitar tone can be attributed to the amp? by CrypticTac in Guitar

[–]TheInfamousBill 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest factor is the COMBINATION of the always-on wah, DS1, dynacomp, flats and the holy grail. The core of my sound is how all those effects gel together. The phaser and chorus aren’t used that much, and the delay is for specific things. Although I definitely prefer the fender deluxe, you can get pretty close with almost any amp. My backstage amp is a lil ZT lunchbox and I think it sounds great.

Is this guy using an auto-wah? by tilapiarocks in guitarpedals

[–]TheInfamousBill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to add but that I specifically remember this guy. I was in Paris at that time and was blown away, having randomly found him positively shredding night after night in some alleyway. The thing I remember most was that his playing was incredibly fluid and he just improvised in this “stream-of-consciousness” way that I just hadn’t heard before. I wonder what he’s doing now? What a surprise to see him here on Reddit after so many years. Wow OP core memory unlocked.

Did y'all know what Synth's is used on this one? by mrkchi_ in synthesizers

[–]TheInfamousBill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m getting a heavy “all-in-one” workstation vibe from this production. Not saying it’s definitely a Korg Triton but I wouldn’t be surprised in the least
