It's nice of Yellow Matter to sponsor this. But when you say latest software, are you referring to Trigger, or the Mastering pack? Heck, wouldn't it be awesome if he put up one of those Dragon compressors

Thanks for playing, and thanks for the votes!
You are online but not receiving my messages for some reason on msn?

Hey Greg, thanks - that was my guess. It shares distinctive characteristics with your prior reamps.
Haha all the info is uploaded. Thanks everyone for voting and participating. I hope you enjoyed, and learned!
I definitely thought you were JQ actually Greg, though I agree with Ermz (congrats btw dude!) about similarities with your other stuff (the honk of JQ made me think of those first Mills clips you made though)
And looks like I ended up going for the all-digital dudes for my top two choices, but hey, all that matters is in the end result, so congrats WildHades and Tokyurot, FWIW as I mentioned you were my top-2!

I love this gain
hahahhh, this definitely proves it's not the gear but the one behind it.
half of the finalists are sims, and a Bugera wins. In fact my fav was LE456!
Congrats Ermz and the rest

Congrats!
What "module" do you usually use on guitars on the mixsatuator? Ive been using tape3 recently, can't tell if its the darkest though.

So Ermz, that's a lot of plugins on your guitar bus. Do you usually process that much?
I didn't do anything to mine aside from HP/LP. Maybe I should consider otherwise next time.

Thanks guys. Your kindness will help me get through the coming few days of 40+ degree temperatures.
@The_Shred: Yeah I use Tape 3 as well. Usually quite sparingly, it can do weird things to guitars, though it also levels them out and gives a little bit more perceptible 'squish'. I use it when the guitars don't sound compressed or soft enough.
@Greg: It depends greatly on the source track. Commonly, yes, usually due to the tracking being done poorly, or the tone being substandard for some reason or another. Of course the issue here is a really cheap head and cab. There is a lot of junk in the tone and it helps to remove it. However, I did another reamp, very close to this one, with absolutely nothing apart from HP and LP, which I personally think sounds better. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285689/Reamping/Sly-3.mp3
All about the source really.

Definitely didn't think I was going to end up in the finals... My tone wasn't really amazing, so I guess I just got lucky. I've been able to tweak my tone to whole new levels after taking part to this competition, and I learnt a lot, which is the most important thing.
So yeah, it was me who had some of that DIs-leaking-through thing going on... I'll explain:
There's an option in TH1, to route your signal to two different amps (sounds like a nice feature, but I haven't found any use for it to date). So if you don't have anything set up on the other route, you obviously only get a dry signal through it. I'm really not sure what happened, but apparently at some point the mix level was set to 50/50 (either I accidentally did that, or it went there by itself for some reason. Hasn't done such thing afterwards though, so I suspect it was a fuck up of my own). I didn't listen to the final mix too much before uploading (a huge mistake really) and there you go. You can imagine the FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU when someone pointed the DI's out and I realized it was my mix
