Hardcore/ Metal tone. (Memphis May fire, Attack Attack ect...) PODFARM

[KyleAWashburn]

Hi,

Like any guitar player I am looking for the ultimate tone for my recordings. I have the full version of pod farm 2.5 platinum but cant seem do dial it in the way that i would like. To cut this short the tone I am trying to emulate is in the following examples:

Those are some pretty solid examples of the tone im trying to nail. I believe that the secret may lie in the Criminal head, but im not sure! Any help or patches will be greatly appriciated! Thanks!

Post what you've got so far.

I believe your right. Sounds like the criminal head with the 57 off axis. 0% room. Treadplate cab. Those shitty high frequencies are somewhere in the 4k-4500 region. i think there might be some around 2 k also.

I really am looking for somebody to help me with the criminal head though, maybe even gracious enough to post a patch! I hope this can help you help me! Thanks to everybody!

I think it sound pretty ok if other instruments are doing the right mix. because if the drums and bass sound pretty good, it will bring up the guitars sound to fit it right. We have to listen all the instruments to be one, not just only 1 of both guitars tracks.

Sorry oz_golf, but i simply don't agree. You do have the right concept about a mix, but i am purely focussing on emulating a certain guitar sound and looking for help with doing that.

Try this tutorial with free vst's if u use reaper: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7SbVOE7W3k&feature=related[/ame]
It sounds awesome imo. Here's a song i mixed with that guitar tone: http://soundcloud.com/gujukal/attack-attack-stick-stickly
Very similar the tone i think you're after. You could instead of using those free vst's use Pod Farm and just follow the mixing tutorial.

well, I learn this from Joey,

Im not saying what youve stated doesnt apply, im saying that i just purly want a better guitar tone right now, and dont want to worry about the mix
