I wrote "how sad it is that we need these fckn samples so often to get a great sound" - did I write always? No. Guys, I'm not against sampling/replacing and I fully agree with your opinions. But do you really want to tell me that you are not happy when you record a good drummer who hits the...

I always thought how sad it is that we need these fckn samples so often to get a great sound nowadays. Ha ha so its great to hear that there are samples used on the black album too!

Some new ass kickin stuff. Really awesome. http://www.theinternetnowinhandybookform.com/schmapple/dreamonpro.html Ha ha :p

Oh yes of course :goggly:. Another thing why the comparisons suck anyway :-)

What other differences? You mean the " + higher presence"? I meant the impulse response which was recorded with higher presence (I found two Engl V30 impulses on this forum, basically the same just with different presence settings). Yeah I think a tone between both would be the best. But...

Ok, did some research :-) The tone was too fizzy - I think that was the main thing which made it sound thin. First, I tried the ENGL V30 + higher presence impulse response. I used the preamp out of the 6505 and then used Boogex to load the impulse. Second I just reamped again through...

Thanks :-) Maybe I should try this impulse thing with a Mesa response, just to see if I can get better results with it. Yeah, thats for sure. Playing a real amp is definitely more fun! Er.. didn't save the patch, but the settings were much different from the real amp's setting. Bass was max...

Yeah, I think you're right. Do you have any suggestions how I could improve the sound without getting a Mesa cab? :-) I could maybe try to dial in more bass and a bit more mids. Furthermore I should maybe use a second mic, if I don't do quad tracking..

But isn't the choise between Engl, Marshall and Mesa rather a matter of taste than quality? I mean, at least the Marshall V30 cab was used on countless great records, including Sneaps..

Thanks guys. Pickups are stocks pickups of an Epiphone Flying V, DI box was Palmer PAN02, reamping box RMP, post processing just a bit of multiband comp at 150Hz and a bandpass from 60Hz to 12k. Actually I was hoping to get some tips how I could improve the real thing... :-) Because -...

First at all I'd like to say hello, as this is my first post. Seems to be a great place :-) I've done a comparison between a 'real tone' and a simulated tone, mainly for strengthening my opinion that amp simulations suck. But now I'm a bit disappointed... because the simulation doesn't suck...
