Hey all!
So i am currently trying to record my MP1, now i used to plug my guitar direct into my interface and then go through Pod Farm. This can produce some great tones for a mix but i kinda wanna use my MP1 for my tones. My current signal chain is as follows;
Guitar> Protone Dead Horse OD> MP1 Distorted(ISP Decimator G string 2 in the effects loop) Output A and B> Firebox Interface Line Ins 3 and 4> Logic X> Ignite Amps Cab Impulse responser.
Now i would then add compression after my cab and the Ozone 6 EQ, but for some reason my tone is just not sounding as good as it does when using pod farm. I began sending my MP1 out mono output A to my MIC inputs on my interface but i remember rnolan suggesting running the MP1 in stereo live, so i decided to do the same when recording. I would then double track the same riff and pan them left and right.
I realise i wont be able to use my normal amp tone when recording so i have tried replicating amp settings on videos on pod farm. Keeping the ODs between 3-5, master gain 5-7 max, then bass around 2, mids 4-6, treble 12, presence 16 and the output level is around 11 o clock. My MP1 has some issues with OD2 so it sometimes can really squeal past 4 if the treble and presence is maxed out if the gain is up around 5 and OD1 even on 0. Sometimes the squealing cuts in and out in time with the lights flashing when editing. I did send it to MJMP but we could not figure out the problem so i have to work around that problem. Luckily i am able to use the noise gate to cut out the high noise that is around 4800 khz as it does not seem to start directly after i stop playing with the noise gate off. Other times though the squealing is evident when i am playing and the noise gate cant really cut that out, so i change my settings.
I just wanted to see if anyone out there is recording an MP1 direct and able to get a great distorted tone. I have recorded the MP1 clean and added distortion on after through Pod Farm, but i want to really focus on capturing the MP1 sound.
If there are any settings you guys can suggest that i can dial in and try out that would be great!
