Paul,

Would you offer some insight on how you are running your effects these days in the studio? Are you still using the 200ms delay, or are you using only reverb? I have been trying to emulate your sound on some sessions lately, so any suggestions are MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Do more and more people nowadays want to record you totally dry, because they have all the latest effects plug-ins?

I'm thinking he wrote several years back. That records dry and lets the producers decide how much effects they need.

Cameron, as far as Pauls tone (besides being a great great player) is probably because he still uses the Studio peamp in the studio, at least thats what i've heard, but i'll let Paul speek for himself.

I am mostly interested in how he utilizes his effects. I have his course on using effects, but that it was produced a long time ago. I am interested to see if much has changed in the way he sets the parameters on his reverb and delay.

Thanks for the replies, yall. All input is welcome and appreciated.

Cameron,

That's an old instruction course. My sound starts with my hands through a Franklin Guitar. First a players hands and than the guitar dictates the biggest part of any personal tone. I have heard Buddy through various guitars. He always sounds like Buddy but he only gets the tone of the "Touch My Heart Era" when he plays a PP.

Since 1990 I have used a TC electronics 2290 delay set at 200 ms and set for one repeat only (barely audible), a Mesa Boogie studio preamp, dry, through a Mosvalve 500 poweramp. That is my starting point in the studio.

Thanks, Paul. I've had several producers request the "Paul Franklin sound." They also have asked for that "Shania Twain" sound in reference to the sound you acheived on her material. I love the sound you get, and it is always a pleasure when asked to emulate it. Do you know of anything you played on that would be an example of your favorite tone?

Thank you, Paul. Your input is invaluable to this forum.

Cameron,
Thanks for the compliment. Since there are so many new players reading this forum who might not understand where a players tone comes from, I felt compelled to answer your question using my complete belief as to where a player gets their personal tone.

Two of my favorites are George Jones "Choices" and Dire Straits "On Every Street". Since the beginning of recorded history, the end result of a players tone can vary even though all the sessions use the same gear. The end result always and ultimately is controlled at the mixing stage of a record.

Paul

Paul,
I don't thing I have yet heard the George Jones stuff, but definitely agree with you about "On Every Street"...it is one of my favorites also. I also like the sound you got on Alan Jackson's album that has "Burnin' the Honky Tonks Down." Do you still use a 200 ms delay on the faster stuff, or do you shorten the time? Or, do you turn of the delay altogether and use a short (like a Room) type reverb? Thanks again, Paul!

Paul, do you record using the distortion channel of the Mesa/Boogie Studio Preamp sometimes?

What speakers do you prefer for recording?
