Help I'm getting THE WORST tone from impulses...

[amd123]

Okay gear is:
Sonar 6
Schecter Omen 6
Digitech RP155 as my DI box???

Im using SoloC and 8505 w/Catharsis's Impulses, I hear everyone getting AWESOME tones, I load up soloc fiddle with its knobs and load an impulse and I get fuzzy/digitalized tone?

Post clips, it'll be easier for us to help you

load an impulse into what?

i hear about people quad tracking, whats that?

Boogex - you gotta bring down the amplifier controls to 0. [Tone, drive and dynamics]
KeFir - You gotta play with the length. Bring it down to 0.01sec/2%, mix to 100% and gain to 'duh'.

Edit:
Quad = Four. So you play four tracks as tightly as possible, pan them 100-80-80-100.

I suggest that you take a day off and go through all the useful threads.

when you say "duh", what do you mean

you guys sure that its not because of my gear?

Yeah I'm gonna say getting some decent gear would help you out... interface with a decent pre and a nice DI box for starters

 

[Metaltastic]

A good interface is absolutely essential, so without further ado...

[amd123]

hmm so do you guys think i should keep the rp155 or return it? I mean the only purpose it servers are less than sub par recordings that i can do solo improv over

 

[Metaltastic]

Ack, isn't that just one of those two-pedal multi-FX processors? Definitely return it if you can, get a good interface, and get all your tone from ampsims on your computer!

Troll or lack of lurk

Omen pickups aren't the greatest, but I blame your interface. Also keep in mind most clips on here are heavily processed and EQed.

 

[amd123]

with what? what are some good vst plugins i should check out?

 

[GarethSE]

stick to just eq'ing guitars
and even then, don't eq guitars at all until youve got raw tones that sit nicely in a mix

I had the opportunity to record Schecter Omen 6 few days ago and it sounded like shit :/ When I plugged my EC-1000 with the same setup and settings it sounded like day and night.

 

[Urgul]

And get some good interface too

 

[GarethSE]

i like my omen 7, plays beautifully
them stock pickups are pretty rank sounding though
