Heavy Downtuned Rhythm Tone W/ Sims

[Robert W]

Been working on a good "all purpose" heavy downtuned rhythm tone. Sort of like these two variants,

2) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17738100/uts2.mp3

3) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17738100/uts33.mp3 (Clip 1 on the left w/ a 100% and 75% pan and clip 2 on the right w/ a 100% and 75% pan.)



I'm happy with the amp/cam combos in these clips, but am not sure about the ts sim I'm using or the levels on gain on them. Think I might be doing some tweaking on them a little later.

Not bad, not bad at all.
Mind if I put some drums behind this just to see how it sounds?

Lol, those clips aren't on time.

I am a big advocate of asymmetry in metal and especially metal guitar sounds, but that is too much asymmetry, it's uncomfortable. It sounds like there are some good tones in there, but processing has got the best of them right now. I definitely hear potential though, nice and gritty.

I'm still playing mix and match w/ the ts sims, so maybe that's not helping.

Not sure what you mean by processing though, as the chains themselves are pretty simple, ts>amp>cab>EQ.

There is too much of a difference between L and R channels. You need to be careful when mixing tones in stereo. If you want to blend two tones, one being the bump, and one being the grind, then mix them in mono. When mixing tones in stereo, you want to aim for the kind of differences that the average (non-musical) person would have to concentrate to detect a difference in.
