    Best EQ VST for amp sims?

    What about apulSoft apQualizr ? I use pretty much everywhere for some time now and so far I`m loving it. Maybe it`s not that CPU efficient tho ..

    Getting a nice tone with POD Farm/Guitar Rig/Amplitude...

    Good point :) lowering the PUs will slightly alter the tone by a little more high frequencies roll-off and making the output less harsh, but really not much, but it should make it slightly more transparent and lets the preamp breathe more.

    Getting a nice tone with POD Farm/Guitar Rig/Amplitude...

    Just a simple line preamplifier to preamp the instrument signal level to a line level and to convert high-Z input into low Z, to lower the chance of hiss and keep the high S/N ratio....of course, these interfaces does in fact act like DI, but if it`s not a higher-end one, dynamics and SNR will...

    Getting a nice tone with POD Farm/Guitar Rig/Amplitude...

    Well, could possibly work, but not every impulse/simulation sounds less plastic/synthetic with much cutting and EQing (preferably with fine recorded impulses with natural and rich top-end behind 10k or so) What I hear in the first place besides non-tightness is that there`s something missing in...

    Getting a nice tone with POD Farm/Guitar Rig/Amplitude...

    Hi, I would suggest to make the time to tune the guitar to perfection so the strings cooperation in chords is ideal, perfectly tuned instruments (check the octaves also) sounds sooo much better and works a charm, when tight and precise playing and picking notes is evolved. The second thing is...

    What are you G.A.S.ing for right now?

    Not much for now, but I`m getting an Profire 610 myself for christmas and later 2x EMG 707 TW`s for my Ibanez S7420 :rolleyes: and some anti-lazy move-you-lazy-ass pills to fill the bill :)
