Yes I forgot about this! Mika’s Playing is great and his whammy bar use is incredible. Really looking forward to seeing it.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. Loved the released Mika clips and I actually bought his newest album after browsing his website.

Hey! No specific date for this, but it’s one of a handful in our pipeline to get finished up. Don’t want to make any promises but most likely within the next couple months.

Does anyone know how Mika gets his tone? It sounds to me like he has very little bass (maybe he has the bass rolled off completely?) and quite a lot of treble and upper mids, but I’m not an expert.
Can anyone guide me?
Can’t tell for mr.Tyyska, but I myself tend to reduce bass on my guitars. I even had to solder additional capacitor in my Yamaha. For me this makes tone brighter on clean sound and sharp and clear on distortion.
I do the same, ASTN. I completely roll off the bass on my amp, although it’s only a cheap Roland Cube 10 practice amp and I am only playing at home at low volume. I turn the treble all the way up.
Have you ever seen Akira Takasaki’s EQ settings? He rolls off the bass completely and uses loads of treble.
I dial my bass back a lot too, especially in a band situation. I like my mids a lot, I tend to dial those in a little higher than most. Treble I find to be a mixed bag depending on the amp.
No, I didn’t see that guy.
I’ve come to this decision due the period when I experimented with different pedals and amps. I found that if you add a bass then at some point your drive becomes fuzz without much details in sound, rolling the bass off - on the other hand - makes sound detailed even on hi-gain devices.

Ooh, he’s got a Miku pedal. Would love one but $200 is a bit pricey.

I guess Mika guy having Miku pedal makes sense )
He wrote a song using it called “Mika”! It’s very, very creative.
