Well i must say it sounds quite different trough my rig.This shows that there are a lot of variables that make up your sound.
Yes %100 agreed.
First of all you guys know this is a direct recording setup? Well this is
3TM > GT5 (nothing on except subtle reverb) > EPSI > Cab sim > MultitrackI let Richard hear a different clip the other other day. It was even more mid rangey, nasal perhaps but I sometimes actually like this
honky tone and such haha. The cab sim I had that day was 2x12" jbl d120. With that impulse I used there was no info on how the cab had been mic'd or what mic type had been used. To get more grit in there I selected something with a little more bite.
The speaker I selected this time was another JBL d120, the kind from a fender twin. I didn't select it for any other reason than it was the first one that sounded brighter than the one I had used before. However this had been mic'd very close and on axis. It was also through a Electrovoice RE20 mic. I just was flicking through the speakers I have (I have 1000's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I have never tried all of them) and found that one.
I'm sure I could easily select about 10 more and get different results. Like I mean very different.
The other thing I would mention is I tend to just have a weird unique tone sometimes all to myself. So many factors to think off that can create so many flavours of tone. It's crazy.
MJMP the guitar I used has passive 30 year old pickups in there, so they are not highput at all anymore where as they may have been at one point. I'm sure this is where the gain difference is most likely coming from between that patch with your rig and that patch with my rig.
I liked the patch, I like the mid range, I don't really scoop heavily in my band. I found a little bit of compression (not recorded on that clip by the way) really helped smooth out the feel for me. Like just a bit to smooth out the attack. I really liked it even more then. I'm defo keeping that patch and working around it for things.
Hey RG try this version of Action (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyeybV4iPJA), I don't like the clip much and the album version is better (particularly tail out). Ravens version isn't too bad either.
3TM patch sounds quite good, I put a bit of TC M One XL delay/rev on it for the 2nd listen (nice). But really messy playing man (just joshing you, playing is very good, I'm sure there are lots of guitarist that wish they could play that well LOL
Hey man it was messy in places, string noise and shit but some of it was nice if I do say so lol. When I mess about on guitar sometimes it does sound like I can't actually play the dam thing. I'm trying to play cleaner and with more control these days but sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. I didn't know what to dam well play and I kept thinking shit I can't have something too shitty. I couldn't string anything along long enough and I didn't want to play any of my songs.
will check out the Version of Action.
