hi,

i've got some expression i'm not sure i really understand here...

scooped ?

headroom ?

break up ?

if you can tell me what is all about it will be helpfull... hum...

Scooped: most likely referring to scooped midrange or, dialed out so to speak... mostly bass and treble.

Headroom: the amount of clean volume before the signal starts to clip, or distort

Breakup: clipping or distorting of the signal

thanx a lot dude...

the only i had understood was "break up" ! :lol:

so a "scooped" tone is more like a modern tone, metal, nu-metal ?

now i can define what i'm looking for : maximum headroom which means good clean at high level without break up !

you're welcome

scooped doesn't necessarily mean modern, metallica for example in the 80s had a very scooped tone. It's just the absence of midrange.

nothing's more explicit than a good example...

Yeah but in the 80's when all that scooped crap started Metallica WAS modern. :lol:

hey ! teachers !?

what "crank up" means ?

thanx :wink:

 

[Elpelotero]

crank=to turn up very loud, most likely to the point where you are bothering neighbors and damaging your ears! :twisted: But it really refers to just turning up loud so you get the tubes to saturate with electricity and "break up" or clip.

 

[user 7737]

got the point ! that's what i tought

thanx !
