Hey guys, my guitar tone sucks. Ive been trying to find out why for quite a while and im 99.9% sure its my DIs as i have mixed other peoples Dis with no problem.
I am using Ampsims and have a horrible harshness that i really cant get rid of with EQ or by trying to dial it out on the sim.
Ive been reading around the forum and have seen a few threads about cables and how they can effect inteferance and clarity.
The cable im using is one i was given about 5 years ago, looks cheapish (not really cheap), has been repaired a couple times and is fucking massive!!! like 30ft! lmao
Now ive realised this is probably way too long. I cant afford to get a new cable right now (seriously poor) lol.
My question is this: When I plug my guitar in and turn it up distortion and all but dont strum anything there is no noise as in no noticable inteference noise. Does this mean there is no inteference? Or can the Actual signal when im playing still have inteference?
If so will i notice much of a difference if i cut about 3 metres off and use that?
Thanks.
