Do you like this 5150 tone?

Ignore the shitty drums, was just to support the guitars ;-)

Pretty sweet, though definitely too scooped for my tastes - it's hard to perceive pitch. Still though, really present and rockin'!

+1

And too much presence for me

Very similar to early in flames sound

 

[abyssofdreams]

yep, that was my aim
actually I referenced the guitar sound that is on clayman...
I remixed the last part a bit, put the guitars a bit more back, also less scooped and a tad less lowend (it was overpowering before).
Also no tubescreamer this time, here's the result:

Oh and I've let the mastering breathe a lil more, I think peaks are around 10-9,5RMS this time

what do you think?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Wow, not it's really good, man... I'd use less gain but the tone is really good

 

[JoeJackson]

Instantly reminded me of In Flames ... even before I read the whole thread and even before I read the filename
Would you share some details? Settings, eq's, comp...

 

[abyssofdreams]

Sure, nothing special:

Guitars quad-tracked.
Wagner Sharp (settings all at default though mids @ 0).
Mesa Impulse.
CurveEQ (Clayman, mainly boosts @ 60hz, 1k, 2k)
And last but not least some C4 multiband.

Guitars could be crispier/tighter though, strings are like 2 months old now while playing almost every day...
I tried to counter that whilst boosting too much of the heights..

 

[Metaltastic]

Wait, so it's not a 5150?

 

[abyssofdreams]

nope, you mean because of the title?
hmm, misleading I guess... I just meant a "5150 like tone" ;-)
I can't edit the title somehow...

 

[JoeJackson]

D'Oh ...

misleading is pure understatement!

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Digital? WOW haha

It sounds really good man

 

[Djabthrash]

The updated version sounds very "Clayman-esque" !!!

You succeeded !

Personally as Dandelium said i'd use a bit less gain maybe.

About the bass i think you should do some bass programming instead of playing those bass lines with the guitar. It will sound wayyyy better. Now that you have a kickass guitar sound it'd be too bad to have a really poor bass sound, uh ?

 

[Djabthrash]

Digital? WOW haha

It sounds really good man

[Ericlingus]

could you post that clayman curve eq file?

 

[kaomao]

goddamn that's great ! It seems a real amp lol

 

[Ericlingus]

what impulse did you use? Is it a guitar hack one?

 

[deathtotaliban]

personally the high end is too fizzy for my taste, it sounds brittle to my ears. It is definitely too scooped, and is there some compression I'm hearing on there?
