First (real) reamp ever... what do you think ?

[LePou]

Hey guys,

Long time relying on amp sims but recently got myself a real amp.
I just put a mic in front of the cab and try some reamping.
I have used Lasse DI from the modelling challenge.

Signal path:
Logic -> Edirol UA-101 -> Radial ProRMP -> Mesa Mark V (Extreme mode) -> Recto 2x12 -> M-Audio Solaris -> Edirol

So...

sounds good, a little bit undergained maybe...

cheers

+1 on the gain thingy. It needs more aggression which mark V is capable of. And DO A MARK V AMP SIM NAOOOV

 

[LePou]

Yeah I agree with you on the gain. A bit more would have been better.
No thanks for a Mark V sim... too complex...
And I personally don't need a Mark V sim anymore.

First thing you wanna do is - change that mic. Solaris is good for vocal tasks, but get yourself a SM57 or i5

 

[LePou]

I used the only mic available at the moment, getting a SM57 is on my plan.

sounds damn awesome for me, tight and wide, though there's one thing that calls my attention, that this is a reamp, don't you feel that when you use the real deal you need to use the real deal? with reamps i feel i don't have control over the amp sounds so that's a major thing to consider at the very beggining, not saying your tone sounds bad, you really know how a tone should sound, just saying my opinion is you can squish an amp capabilities when you actually use it when recording.

 

[LePou]

Thanks for your comments.
As it was my first reamp (and recording) of a real amp/cab it's hard for me to comment on squishing amp capabilities when an amp is used for recording. I don't have a lot of experience in that area. Lasse, lolzgreg, Ermz, Catharsis, etc may have more to speak on that subject.

It's undergained yes, but that tone sounds damn good!

 

[LePou]

Thanks John. As you can see I just got back in the real world

ps: And if you ever consider to make a Mark V sim I will be there to do all the reamp you would need.

i like the gain how it is. in a mix this would be more than sufficient gain wise
