guess the amp (pop/rock)

[Machinated]

been reamping today, the first link is in a complete mix, the second is with drums and bass.

what amp do you think it is? btw its not my amp, its the bands. tone wise i went for something a bit different to normal, i wanted quite forward mids, and clarity wasnt a main concern

Whole mix

Guitars bass and drums

what do you think of the mix?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

sounds great!

you've stolen that idea of "not postin a link" from me!!!

 

[Machinated]

i thought i might get banned if i posted it

links up now

 

[Machinated]

updated the links, got a better mix up - opinions on the mix would be sweet

Well between the sound of it and your post in a certain recent thread Greyskull started, I have a pretty good idea what it is, but I won't spoil it for the rest

Anyway, the tone has great definition and fills things up really nicely, though maybe just a bit too much IMO (feels a little dense/stuffy in the mids, and also a bit undergained, though it seems you read my mind on the first part with your edit to your OP ). Overall cool though, and I've always loved your kick and bass sounds especially! (though because of how much mids the guitars have, I really can't hear the bass as a separate instrument very well, which is a pity cuz on its own in the beginning of the bridge it really sounds great!) Snare could come up though IMO, but sounds great; is this S2.0? And do I hear a shaker perhaps? Overall great job as always!

Hahahahahahahah, oh my god though, that screamed "yewww know what yeww've been foighting fowww" part in the very end sounded like my drunken stereotype impersonation of a British person

haha ill have to trace back my posts, but im not sure i posted what amp im using here......even still feel free to guess, people seem a bit scared to at the moment!

this amp is pretty damn midrangey, and i also ran a TS before to tighten things up a little, which is also going to add to it, but overall its not far off what i was aiming for (somewhere between thrice and emery). I'll try and get the midrange EQ'd right, i did some slight cuts earlier in a few places which really helped the guitars sit in.

the bass is pretty prominent in this mix, but i agree it does kind of blend with the guitars, although i think thats more down to the nature of the guitars than bass. when i mute the bass in the mixer you really feel the low end missing.

drums are indeed superior 2 - the band wanted programmed drums although with this stuff i really would have prefered live drums.

and yes, there is a shaker in there (that we recorded ourselves, and then i quantized afterwards) and got some acoustic in there as well as a ton of other layers

but yeah i wanted these guitars slightly undergained, basically down to the kind of music it is

 

[Sweetnothing]

The bass is perfect for the music IMO

The amp? hell, maybe some marshall? it has that midrangey looser feel that some marshalls have

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, I don't doubt one notices the absence of the low-end fullness of the bass when it's muted, but it's more the stuff above (definition and a little attack, though I don't like too much) that I wouldn't mind a bit more of; to me, it sounds like 400-500Hz is the offending band (to my ears anyway) in the guitars that I'd really wanna tame to make things breathe a bit better. And my guess is a Dual or Triple Rectifier in Vintage mode, btw And yeah, gain to taste of course!

EDIT: However, listening to the version without vox, those palm mutes are sounding a bit on the castrated side

 

[Machinated]

i did actually try the triple rec for reamping, but didnt really get a tone i was TOO happy with for this stuff (the amp i used was a lot more what i was after).

i only did 2 rhythm tracks on this band as well actually, although with all the overdubs it adds up anyway. hell of a lot of tracks on these come mix time.

but yeah, not a rectifier and not a marshall either........

 

[Metaltastic]

Nah, I wouldn't have guess Marshall, they don't strike me as the low-mid type of amps like this, so next guess is ORANGE! (and I'm curious as to what cab you used also, almost has shades of my old Stiletto cab so I'd be surprised if it was your Recto)

 

[Sweetnothing]

What marcus said, Orange or 5150 on clean channel

( then you'll say "PODXT" and we'll start crying )

 

[dcb]

for my taste the guitars sound too dry...

might be the diezel - as i discussed with lasse
<< they sound very "kultiviert"(sorry for the german)

i think it lacks depth...

so is it diezel ? ;-)

 

[Lasse Lammert]

I'm really diffing the general sound!
I just think you wouldn't necessarily have needed the TS. also it sound slike it wasn't recoded incredibly loud......I'd say ditch the TS (perhaps, gotta try, no idea how the amp sounds w/o the TS), raise the gain a bit and crank the master and you'll have a tone that matches the style really well...definitely the direction you were going for I think

 

[Toni S.]

I woud say diezel too

 

[Machinated]

the amp is indeed a..........orange rocker 30, through a mesa OS cab
