Guitar tone quicky!

Nice tone dude, Darth I don't know if I agree about the Podtone needing to be Pod > EQ, I really think the vintage warmer helps a lot in just adding the saturation of the guitar tone, making it so much more chunky, that being said Im horrible at Pod tweaking, gave up and have just started using real amps haha.
 
yea man sometimes rhythm guitar bus saturation is apparently ok, but.... welp alright, pointing out the obvious here, the first thing i thought when i heard the OP clip was the first breakdown in that oceano song with the video, and without stating the obvious (which is pretty much stated in lanes sig) then i can tell you there is no saturation needed if that's what you're shooting for. ts7 > treadplate > treadplate cab with condenser > hard panned, dual tracked, and nothing on the guitar bus but some eq with a hp around 100hz and a lopass around... i don't know tinker with it, and a small dip, pulling out some of the shrill hi-mids, and... fackin...that's it. bass is critical. CRITICAL. the guitar tone alone, without bass or anything else in the mix, should sound thin and weak. if your guitar bus solo'd does not sound thin and weak, you are doin teh mixinz wrong.


edit:

what i mean is..... your guitar bus solo'd should not sound thunderous and span the entire frequency spectrum with nothing else. in the context of the whole mix, with bass and drums, THEN everything should sound volumous and powerful, but you need to.... well you need to read lasse's tutorial on CONTEXT that is either stickied or in his signature somewhere.
 
I didnt mean it like that at all, I'm not making my rhythms so saturated they unleash the fury of hell and bury the entire mix, I personally think it just adds a little more realism to the tone.

This is the last thing I did with pod, think the guitars are taking up to much of the mix? I'm a bass player myself so I'm actually prefer the opposite haha.
Eugh I just realise this pumps to shit, my bad. I got a bit excited with Slate FG-X haha

when my gtr bus is on solo, should it be like a flat weak tone? Because mine is really punchy, but not overpowering in the lows.

It's very common on guitarist starting the songs with the tone, and so your head asks for a massive freq fill, but that's not the case if you're dealing with drums and bass guitar, all the instruments should fill the spectrum, the guitar just needs it's very own place, having different mono sources correctly panned gives a wider image than stereo sources everywhere, so i'd say get your amazing tone once you've got a good bass and decent drums filling the other areas, and yes, your guitar will most probably sound weak solo'd. I've learned that here, and it payed well, you have to really notice the bass doing something, bass is bass, guitar is guitar, but good bass + good guitar = cool tone. Hope it helps, it's all referenced from this fourm, and i can really say it works.

Yeah, I've heard this a lot. To avoid instruments clashing with each other and what not.

@Seth, how do I bounce the audio files as .wav?!
