I have worked in the studio with Brent many times over the last 35 years and mixed many records with his guitars tracks. He usually uses a 65 Bassman head or Fender Deluxe reverb amp (vintage -not sure what year) for the country chicken pickin with his primer gray Tele. I found an MBritt 65 Bassman profile that I have tweaked to come close to his sound. Keep in mind he has a customized guitar and with a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele STK-T3B at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Hot Stack Strat STK-S2 in the middle with the 3 knob configuration. In the lead pickup he turns the middle pickup up a bit to add round bottom and that chimey sparkle. I have included my setting for the MBritt profile for your experimentation. Here I am playing my tele through the profile

FYI- my profile says that I'm a beginner because I don't post much. I've owned 2 Kempers for over 5 years and use extensively in the studio and live. not quite a beginner.

Yep, the beginner label only relates tot he number of posts, your video shows your chops. Conversely, if someday you see a Professional label under my name don't take it as evidence you should see me play.

sounds awesome

Love it. And thank you for sharing.
-
fantastic,, thanks so much for the insight
-
Looking forward to trying this ! Thank you

Brent Mason and Johnny Hiland (not forgetting Albert Lee, of course), these guys have such a masterful picking technique you could put them on the most sterile-sounding profile and they'd make it sound good ....

This is awesome, thanks Jed!

Well Played Sir
-
Great.

Give these same settings a try with the Super Sonic Twin B2 from the Grab-n-Go pack.

That is a cool Tele sound. I love it.
I am trying to understand the details of the sound.Could I find a downloadable profile somewhere ?
Thanks..!!

He can’t share the Rig as it uses a commercial MBritt Profile and sharing is against the licensing conditions.
However, jedseneca has been kind enough to share all the settings required in the screenshots. If you load the MBritt rig he used and tweak the knobs as shown you will get a similar end result. Alternatively, use any cleanish Fender rig you already own as a starting point and just dial the settings as per the screen shots.
The short answer to understanding the sound is : a Fender Amp, Tele, Compressor and above all an awesome player with great touch and feel (that goes for both Brent and Jed ?) -
I haven't been getting a similar results with Fender profiles but it might be the player. Hahaha.
