hi everyone

I was recording today using pro tools 7.3 with the m box 2 and noticed my guitar sound had no highs. Its a telecaster and should have that snappy tele sound. I tried some treaking but no go.

any suggestions would help

thanx charlie

Are you just going straight in, recording direct? It's really hard to get a vibe that way if so. Mic up an amp or use some amp modeling software.

are you able to ascertain if its the Mbox?

Like try another cable, another guitar.

if its not the Mbox - is the Tele tone control broken?

If it was me I know it would be the tone pot turned down after I'd posted and tried all the other suggestions.

Check you have the input set to 'Instrument' and not 'Line'. If that doesn't help, try a DI box that between your guitar and the interface

I agree that it's most likely you aren't using di input.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's an impedance issue as well. mismatched impedance can suck the life out of a guitar.

thanx for all the ideas. i'll check them out when I get a chance. I,ve recorded direct with this guitar on the same exact setup.

I think it's something else.
