Just joined the forum...Been playing metal for over 10 years, and recently got back into the recording thing.
Little background on how I record guitars that might be helpful:
I mainly record guitar double tracked through a Digitech RP355 bypassed, this acts as a DI and I can get 2 tracks at once. I put Revalver on one, and waves doubler then revalver on the other....then pan hard L and R. This just gives me a better headphone sound while I track, and gives a dry recording to mess with later. I turn track layers on, loop a section to record....then play it over and over and over.
Once done, I turn off the doubler, and audition the layers recorded to find the tightest for the 2 tracks....then move on to the next song section.
Now to the topic.....
Revalver is a good plug....but it doesn't give me "that sound" i'm looking for. You know the thick chunky guitar sound without too much fizz...(Band Examples, Throwdown, Mnemic).
So in my search to get that sound, I've purchased many many amp sims....as well as downloaded many freebies....but I'm lost in tone land..
Now the problem is, there are so many options, so I tweak and tweak and eventually my ears get numbed to good sounds, so I have to refresh by listening to something else....or have a break....then back at it.
SO *********
This will be a thread for posting your suggestions for amp sim signal chains and examples. You don't have to give EQ or preamp settings....thats for me to come up with my own sound....
Just post like this (example):
This is, TSS>Amplitube with x pre and y cab>Comp...etc.
Then insert sample link
**********
If this sort of thing already exists....please direct me there.
Thanks and Cheers
