What do you think of these 2 amp sim sounds?
I'm going for as heavy and as tube sounding as possible.
These are raw, no eq, no compression.

One
Two

In "naked" form I seem to prefer clip 1. But it might as well be clip 2 fitting a mix better.
What did you use?

Too much distortion on both

I prefer clip one - it has more balls.

even on my bloody laptop-speakers that sounds great...both are good, I'd prefer version2. Am interested too to know what you used.

Definitely clip #1. Might be harder to fit in the mix, as Sascha pointed out

Well, thread views don't mean anything it seems.

What kind of advice are you looking for? If you know the sound that your looking for - heavy and tube sounding - you can choose for yourself? Or don't you know what 'tube' sounds like and now you want 'our' advice on which resembles it most?

I seem to like clip 1 more, but maybe just because there seems to be more low (in my speakers), although - as said - if you use it in a mix with also a bass and kickdrum, clip 2 might fit better.

btw with this much drive and distortion I get more or less the same sound when I play MrRay or LL3 thru one of the amp sim VST's.

I'm too close to these sounds now... spent too much time poking & prodding them, so I'm looking for some educated advice/opinion.

*The* acid test...

...trying them in the context of a song.

Yeah.. maybe I should do that, then post those clips.

I was thinking that I should pick the sound before making the song, but maybe its better to slap some drums and bass on these samples, THEN ask you to check em out.

#1 sounds OK so what is it?

Guitar amp sim advice needed...
