Well, that's not really relative to this thread now, is it?ross g wrote:just show them your online resume and tell them to back the f**k off...
Anyway, I was just joking around and being a smartass. Then again, I would have thought that was pretty obvious to most people.

hows this...
picasso is to art what master volume controls are to tube amps: something to argue about on KVR forums!

This is how I currently get what I consider to be "that tone". I tried to make that statement argument proof, but I'm sure somebody will suprise me':?'.
It's all done with free vst's in energyXT:

It Starts with a noisgate (FLOORFISH), then GreaseTube is like a tube OD, it runs into two parallel instances of the SimuAnalog JCM900, one set to chanel A "clean", voiced as close as possible to a Fender with a good amount of breakup (drive about 7.5) , the other instance is more typically Brit sounding, B chanel "drive" set to about 6 where it begins to get gritty with the Danelectro. Then each goes thru it's own tube compressor set to hit just the peaks (ratio is pretty light). Then both JCM900 signals join in the Boogex, which is tweeked for further Fender tone and light breakup (reminds me of poweramp stage)and loaded with a Fender Blackface POD - NO CABINET impulse. Then thru another compressor plug, set to hit just the already compressed peaks again lightly (looking for waveform distortion without clipping here). then through FX and finaly a TLs Pocket Limiter.
The Boogex impulse I use is found here: http://www.noisevault.com/index.php?opt ... cat&cat=19
It's the "Line 6 POD Impulses", unzipped there is a folder called "Blackpanel (Fender Deluxe)" and inside it is the one called "No Cabinet".
All the levels and eq would need to be tweeked for your axe - I use baritone strings (.014-.070") and four Danelectro lipstick tube pickups in series, so there is probably no chance the levels & eq shown are right for you, but you should experiment with all this free stuff! It's fun and the best direct tone I've found yet by far!

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

...someone assumed I took it more serious than I did...but I do wonder why I say to the same members many times "I don't swear at you, please don't swear at me"...here in my neck of the woods I have never once had to say that, well not at least since coming home from the service...you know when we grew up...
i think john knows it was it sarcastic humour, it was the jousting of the day...occasionally big boys say bad words too...no one's trying to fight or offend anyone...
