Put your guitar sound here (many clips already)

[championrabbit]

The disclaimers, already?

Greg

No disclaimers; I'm in no sense dissing people who are complete novices in recording terms, merely pointing out that bad-sounding clips of amp-sims in the context of this thread are counter productive.

If I post a clip here that sounds like crap, is in stereo and covered in oodles of delay or reverb then I fail to see how that would be helpful to anybody.

This thread could have gone one of two ways.

1. Useful list of links to great guitar tones that developers should be striving for.

2. Vanity thread where people post clips of themselves playing, regardless of the crapiness of the sound.

Which would you say describes the thread better?

Regarding my clips I used some effects but I described why I did so. And I don't think they were hiding the sound but rather used to actually "demonsrate" it.
I might post something more later on, using entirely dry clips.

This is demonstration of my metal sound:

cheers unspoken,

good hi-gain chugga-chugga sound. very close to rammstein etc... There is no way I can get that sound with Guitar rig demo. Now I am waiting for amplitube2.

I wasn't directing my comment at you; your clips are objectively decent I'd say.

I think that the kind've sound that you recorded and posted probably is the kind've sound that a fair number of people want to make, although not me...

So, what sound is it that you're after?

Personally, while they aren't bad, I think the Guitar Port tones suffer from the same symptom the POD is suffering from: Too much low mud frequencies (the Pod Pro/XT seem to be better). Funny, it's the same with the VAmp, just not as drastic.
I've got some patches with the bass knob literally turned to 0, another bit of lowcut on the mixer... and yet I often apply some further lowcut while mixing.
Seems to be valid for a lot of the highgain amp models.

Think my example is too muddy, Sascha?

No, that's why I excluded the Pod Pro/XT. Only seems to apply to the small versions. I actually wonder why... allways thought the main sound should be similar, if not the same. Maybe one day I can do a true 1:1 comparison.

I guess I like pretty organic sounds; my rig is a late 60s 50w all-valve head (Selmer) into a Weber attentuator (then into a 1x12 closed-back cab) which let's me dial-in enough master gain to allow a touch of drive/sag. That's my clean/breaking sound, and then I use a Guvnor pedal to push it into overdrive for a more full-on sound.

Sometimes I also use a Joe Meek Fathead strip for some really vintage distortion/compression ahead of the valve head.

Pretty old-skool I guess, but also pretty face-slaying!!

I have the POD 2.0, not Pro or XT.

Sounds like a nice setup.
Post some sounds, please.

So let's hear it!

Well, I only have a POD 1 for comparison, so maybe that's why... won't update it though as I'm more pleased with the VAmp anyways.

[zeoy]

Wow, lots of new stuff! I think I owe some replies here but I got work to do. Maybe later ...

[Beardedone]

Here is my Ibanez AS80 run through my VAmp2 set up as follows: bass at 2, all others flat, tube preamp model with no cab, compressor on 1.5, reverb at 2; left Vamp output direct into my soundcard, right output to a Pignose 150 crossmix, single microphone with a Behringer B2 pro 4 inches off axis. Each track separately in with each track running an auxillary bus panned 25% Left and right respectively thougha PSP Mixpressor. I threw a shot of PSP Nitro on the last chord jsut for fun .

clean tone test

Thanks for the tips guys!

Cheers,
