Using Receptor as a Guitar Modeller. Options, options...

[Chankro]

I'm wondering how many of us are using Receptor for Guitar processing. I've made a search of the word "guitar" and the result is very poor

Today is my second week with the Receptor and I've been experimenting with Guitar Rig. I don't like the factory sounds, but after adding 5 or 6 parametric equalizers in series I've tweaked some tones thar are not so bad.

Izotope Trash has very interesting Speaker Modellers, but I can not make it work at Receptor What other software are you using for guitar? Are you happy with the tone?

Waves GTR? It's a great product, but I can't find a receptorized version

Yout might try Camel Phat and Camel Space, I really dig these little guys. We're not talking amp modeling but for some crunch, warmpth, delay, chorus, they have some really cool possibilities.

Thank you
I'm downloading the demos.

I got IK's Amplitube 1.x working with just a little registry fiddling. I'm not sure if the new version works (because I don't own it), but I think it would since CSR 1.1 (no-dongle update) works fine. But for basic sounds (especially mellow bass and acoustic guitar-type treatments) I prefer Amplitube 1.x over GR2 (which seems a bit unstable, though I have not used it that much).

Gotta admit though, for "shredding" GR2 takes the prize in my book

(not that I know how to shred, being a keyboard player primarily )

i had the ultimate guitar receptor rig: a roland-enabled strat & midi converter, midi footcontroller with multiple expression pedals, and midi controller keyboard; i ran the outputs from the receptor into a 74 super reverb and a 74 twin reverb, both with blackface mod (synth sounds ran into the twin and axe audio into the super, some stereo fx into both). turns out the receptor introduced too much latency for me to handle (since i had to use synth plugs, not just FX) and i ran into too many frustrating ground issues for the rig to be practical. waiting around for multis to load was also a bit of a problem, because that was before i discovered the magic of snapshot banks. plus, approximately 0.0% of the clubs i played in had a stereo PA. so i dropped back to using receptor for just keys, back to simple distortion pedals for the guitar, and i'm much happier. guitars were meant to be plugged into amps, not computers. at least that's what has worked best for me. to each his own, i suppose.

Hi cbreeze34,

You're right: It's frustrating to try to get good guitar tones from a computer. I've actually bought the Receptor to be used as a tone generator for my midi guitar, but I just wanted to explore this possibilities while I'm waiting to receive my Fractal Audio Axe-FX.

Txeers!
