Sorry for SendSpace...

First you can hear Dimitar playing
his Carvin Legacy, than the new model.
30 seconds each, so you can really compare.

EDIT: EQ was set to zero.

Gähhhhn. To copy a poor sound is an academic finger excercise at best. Sorry, no winner here.

Best wishes, FRitz

P.S. Never heard a good tone by Keith Richards. I ALWAYS thought that his playing and tone sucks.

For clean sounds, Hiwatt Custom 50 1x12 please; it has that David Guilmore sound

I cannot agree here.
As I wrote the EQ was set to zero.
I like the Carvin a lot, but like always it needs to
be set up and EQ'ed right.
Or does anybody plays its amp with EQ at zero...

Its about authensity, about the tube sound simulation
and about the way each note reacts in nearly the same way as the real amp,
this is what you can hear very well in this mp3.

Any other VST or harware amp sim,
ever came so close to a tube sound before ?

I don't think so.

Hä? You gave us that mp3 with no eq. So what? Why isn't it set up right and EQ'ed? I don't get it.

It's not authentic. What's obvious is, is that Dimi doesn't know how to mic his amp to make it sound good. That's all. Sorry sir but this is not convincing. Yes, it's very close but it's through a thick curtain and around the corner.

Indeed! Not just for Keith Richards' tone, but for other tones where there's saturation without breakup.

I DO like Keef's tone, though. Maybe not always and in every song, but that spanky-sounding "Start Me Up" tone is awesome.

Mick Taylor's sound was better imo...

Jafo · Post by **Jafo** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 1:23 am

Yeah, now I have to listen to Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed... That should get "Don't You Want Me Baby?" outta my head!

Mick Taylor was my first influence...

YOUr a friggin ass Fritz. All you talk about and post is your gay ass POD, and say "what amp is this" HOw bout its a POD, and maybe you have no idea how to mic an amp. LEt me ask have you played the LEgacy before?? My guess is no, YOu shrugged when MW put up my 5150 combo, Again those are no eq's and you ask whats the point? Then your an idiot, Becasue the point is = IT is up to you to decide how to compress, eq or flat out destroy the sound, if it is an emulation of an amp model, it should sound like THE AMP!! NOt how good the amp could sound when a pro engineer produces the shit out of it. I guess all those Drum samplers that give all the raw sounds and lets US decide what sound we wish to make by EQ and compression are worthless too.. Maybe get some recording technique and not expect to be handed everything on a silver plate.. NOt everyone wants a polished ass guitar tone,, then whats the point?? We all have the exact same sound,.,now that is pointless!

Guitar players, The soundclick MP3 demo page got updated !
