Dude, what is up with the low end farting?

 

[Torniojaws]

With that rumbly and sloppy bass rumble, and messy mids, it's probably some Behringer V-Ampire or similar cheap half-emulation.

Line 6 spider...

 

[Philchef]

haha... Vamp or Spider or something like that was the first thing that came to my mind as well.... or this is a fucking expensive amp and you want to show how shitty it is

 

[onqel]

It sounds terrible .. my first guess is that you used some sort of limiters/clippers in series with an impulse in the end.. it didn't sound nowhere near a (guitar)amp to me

 

[motomoto]

I'm sorry but this sounds too awful to even try guessing.

Low end is really fucked up

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

This?

Sorry bro, but I have to agree, it does sound pretty atrocious :/

 

[Philchef]

if i turn up the volume i get afraid to kill my speakers
Download it and put it into your daw... man.. those bassattacks...

 

[greyskull]

man that sounds bad..... if ever there was a time for multi band compressing the low mids... this is it.

 

[cobhc]

OUCH! That shit hurts!

 

[kickinwing65]

haha the responses are awesome..

here is the answer:

Guitar > Firepod > Cubase > 3 Q's maxed with a mid boost on one > Line out > Zenith VCR > some old 6 hr tape that had blues brothers on it > back into cubase > cab model.

We basicly overdrove the tape on the vcr.. Don't ask me how we ended up recording things with a vcr then overdriving it... it was a long night.

we did it again with less gain and it got rid of the horrible noise but im too lazy to find the clip.

btw.. this has to be the most retarded thing ever.

Haha! I wonder how it would sound with specific EQ tailoring. I bet you could get a workable tone out of it.

 

[Philchef]

i tried it for fun and imported the guitartrack to a project i'm currently working on and eq't it a bit... you CAN get a workable tone out of it...

 

[kass]

holy shit lol

 

[feles]

Lol, interesting technique for guitar sound! Not so bad.
Anyway my Line6 Spider with the Framus 2x12 cab and a LDC mic sounds soo similar. I can't record a decent tone out from it . But for practicing it's fine.

 

[PostMortem1666]

Holy shit!!!!!!! I am going to have to give this a try!!!

 

[Damian B]

This?

Sorry bro, but I have to agree, it does sound pretty atrocious :/

Hahahaha you were actually pretty close.

 

[kickinwing65]

found out the slight compression and characteristics the tape adds to the sound is slight but noticeable.. ran a few mixes through the vhs deck and it made it warmer and somewhat fuller... interesting

 

[Wolfeman]

Haha I was gonna guess old 70's or 80's tape deck or stereo... I suppose I was close.
