Guitar Tone Clip (Garland Amp Quadtracked)

[Soundlurker]

The "less gain" thread got me thinking, it seems I use too much gain so I made this test using the vintage channel for 2 tracks and the modern one for another 2 tracks. Both are with less gain than I usually use. The modern channel is lower in the mix and a bit scooped, while the vintage one has more mids. I think they blended in pretty well. It's an old song I chose to retrack because it has drums and bass (both don't sound too good but anyway)

What do you think?

 

[Decimator]

Oh shit! That sounds brutal... Nice work

 

[cobhc]

Sounds good man, I'd love those settings for some of the free reamp stuff

 

[KeithRT99]

sounds thick.

First you have to buy a horrible Stagg guitar and leave the stock PUs
Once you have that, gain should be about 10 o'clock,
vintage: bass 3 o'clock , mids : noon, treble: 3 o'clock
modern: bass 11 o'clock , mids : 3o'clock, treble: 3 o'clock

sounds awesome!

I still want a real cab!!!!!

 

[Soundlurker]

Ok, I'll PM you an mp3, because I really feel I'm still not doing justice both to the amp and the cab. Apartment recordings

 

[reneisgod]

wow that sounds excellent man

 

[kaomao]

this amp is sick, you should tell your amp tech to start making this amp on a large scale!

EDIT: I mean this is a great sounding amp!

 

[Soundlurker]

That's a comment common for pretty much every of his products but he insists on keeping every amp custom, which I think is actually cool. It's a pity you have to wait months or at least a couple of months for your amp but you get your very own amp with unique features and exterior. Thanks for the nice words cheers

I made a little experiment and came up with this:

The Thickest Tone In The Universe
The Wall Of Sound

8 tracks

 

[cobhc]

Hard to tell with just 1 note

 

[Soundlurker]

any more than one and it will probably be all over the place

 

[kaomao]

I can't remember how much you paid for it.

 

[reneisgod]

ever thought about creating some impulses with this set up ?
pritty sure they would sound friggin awesome man !


Anyways just a thought, (hint) dont you go rushing away creating impulses for all us cab-less goons haha :zombie:

 

[Soundlurker]

Well, these clips ARE with impulses ( GuitarHack's ). As for my cab, it's really not going to produce great impulses in this shitty room or the iso booth, and volume is an issue, as well.

 

[kaomao]

hey Shadow_Walker how much did you pay for that amp?

 

[Soundlurker]

The person who made it asked me not to tell because every amp he makes is unique and its price may vary a lot. Anyway, it was very cheap for what it is

 

[reneisgod]

thats awesome man sounds amazing, best sound ive heard anyone get with the impulses thus far.
did you do much post eq to this ?
details details details !

 

[Soundlurker]

No eq on the guitars, just C4 with settings pretty similar to Andy's preset.

Of course there's a bit of post processing going on - Izotope Ozone 3's multiband dynamics and loudness maximizer, but again no eq.

In case you don't know I can reamp your di files for free and they will sound just as good and probably better because I'm using a crappy Stagg guitar with stock PUs. Check out my thread and if you end up being happy with my service you can support the site by buying merch so that more killer amps/preamps will be available in the future.
