So i was fiddling with ENGL SE 6L6 and my Torpedo (see threads here : http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...-101-hardware-loadbox-cab-mic-miking-sim.html, http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...-101-hardware-loadbox-cab-mic-miking-sim.html, http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...ootout-guitar-tone-torpedo-bay-area-riff.html)
I recorded the same riffs with a different cab/mic combination each time.
-> cab/speakers/mic i used, close-miked each time :
1) vht 2x12 P50e + Royer R121
2) mesa 412 V30 + Royer R121
3) Engl412 V30 + condenser Blue Dragonfly
4) Marshall 412 V30 + Condenser Neumann U87
5) H&K 412 GB + condenser Blue Dragonfly
6) Engl412 V30 + SM57
7) engl 412 v30 + Condenser Neumann U87
8) H&K 412 GB + SM57
9) engl 412 V30 + Dynamic MD421
10) H&K 412 GB + Dynamic MD421
11) mesa 412 V30 + Beyerdynamic M160N
-post fx (torpedo) : low cut @ 80hz or so, exciter (slight boost) around 3Khz
Just 2 rythm guitars tracks, hard-panned each, same guitar but slight EQ changes on the SE between the 2.
Guitars Post-EQ in my DAW : slight boost around 5khz for air, and high cut @12khz
All the files are in this folder :
