Made this little clip after waking up today cause I wanted to test my "new" amp. Used an Audio Technica 4040 stuck anywhere in front of the upper right speaker of the cab. Probably a weird-ass angle because my mic stand is made for a vocal mic and therefore too high to really use on guitar cabs, haha ... :) Now I only need vocals for this ...

Any thoughts/comments?

Oh, and thanks to 006 for pointing out the Digital Fishphones Gate. I've had it for years, but only used the Spitfish on vocals. The gate is A+!
 
Ouch, I need help. I dig my guitar sound so much that I am contemplating staying in and recording some more ...

... instead of going out to drink Zombies (cocktails) with this girl:

WTF is wrong with me?

record some more and give me the number of that girl! that way everyone will be happy :cool: :lol:
 
really dig the riff at :51... nice tone bro!

The Savage seems to have a slightly thicker and juicier mid thing going on when compared to the FB. I've really gotta try a Savage one day...


cheers

Thanks Charlie ...

I don't know, I had to tweak the guitars quite a bit because I basically just stuck the large diaphragm condenser in front of the cab and recorded the tone without adjusting. Might be the Les Paul with the 10-52s. My B.C. Rich sounded much thinner ...

Oh, and I dig the riff at 0:51 too, haha. It's one of those riffs that you come up with just to have a new riff in the little demo-recording to try out your new amp. And 2h later you realize that the riff is fuckin' heavy, hahaha :)

Would you be willing to post how that sounds with only the guitars, no backing track, and no EQ or anything? Just raw guitar tracks?

Sure, man!

Here you go:

a) totally unprocessed (except for summing bus limiter):

http://www.faderhead.com/blogs/mp3/savage_guitars_only.mp3

b) final guitars (like in the end mix, just soloed)

http://www.faderhead.com/blogs/mp3/savage_guitars_processed.mp3

Shows you how little a guitar sound that is cool in a mix has to do with a good guitar tone, haha :)

I think it's possible to do a lot better at the original sound with a different mic and with more attention to detail (because in the room it sounds much better!), but in the end it is all about the final result ... and I am damn happy with that (considering it was a 3 second mic-placement thingie) ... :)

Hope this helps!

I'm always glad to hear other people not being scared of EQ on guitars. Really sounds awesome man.
 
Otherwise it sounds very nice, but is it just me that is bothered by the lack of attack on that guitar? Dunno if it caused by the drums, but it sounds as if the guitars were compressed with a slow attack that cuts off the initial crunch :S

Instead of GRRrrrrrrrrr, it's more like grrrRRRR

But ah well, could be preference ;)

I kinda understand what you are saying in your example, but I don't hear it in the guitars. To me it sounds even.
