[dimitar]

Yes.What sort of sounds?

[Midiworks]

What sort of sounds?

Something "bluesy" or such, that will make use of
soft/light distortion and clean amp sounds.
Single coin and humbucker would be great !

Hi Dimitar,
from you I would love to have something for
HEAVY distortion !

But sure you can try the soft way too if you like.

Thanks to both of you !!!

[dimitar]

Ok!

Always for you

Guess the rest of us guitarists aren't worthy of submitting guitar lines.

Thats my problem from a long time.......

OK, here you are.
Used my Ibanez 335 clone (very old, very good, no freaking Artist series model - unfortunately tough to tune...) and my Anderson strat.
Tried to cover most of the ranges with each pickup or combination of them. But be aware, I just noodled around.
Used the Hi-Z input of my Edirol, fed directly by the guitars, straightest way I can go for now.
MP3s are 160kbps/mono (around as good as 320/stereo), so that should be sufficient I think.
You'll have to cut out the interesting bits.

Some sounds are suitable for more overdrive, some only for a slight bit of it, some might better remain clean.

Neck PU of the ES.

Bridge PU of the ES.

Neck PU of the Anderson in true single coil mode (not exactly a '63 strat but usually quite OK sounding).

Bridge PU of the Anderson in humbucking mode. No high gain PU but pretty much harmonic IMO.

Cheers,

[Midiworks]

Thats great Sascha thanks a lot !
Downloading atm

Edit: Very nice and usefull takes, thanks !

[Midiworks]

Btw, to me it seems there's another major problem with native guitar amp emulations, which actually isn't related to the actual software: The input stage that is!
By now, I have been trying out various combinations of soundcards and *whatever* sort of devices to bring my guitar signal up to line level (which defenitely is required).

Yes Sascha, you are absolutly right !
Thats why my amp has a input gain knob,
no such problems here.

[Sascha Franck]

So, did the files work for you?

[zeoy]

Hi Midiworks, I can record a few SRV licks using either my Levinson Blade R1 or Tokai AST-56 (both single coil strat type, Blade has an active EQ option). If you are interrested I can upload them on Monday (I hope it's not too late). My record chain is gtr->M-audio audiobuddy->audiophile2496 (CRT monitor turned of )

Cheers

Yes ! Very nice and usefull takes, thanks Sascha !
Guess we posted at the same time.
(see above)

What I am still missing are some open chords,
maybe picked, to get that chorus sound flying.

Also I wonder what an acoustic guitar may sound like... (Dimitar ?)

[Sascha Franck]

I'm not Midiworks, but I think a true Strat (which IMO the Tokai pretty much is) would be good to have... my Anderson is a bit sweeter than most strats.
