hey guys, i made a Miss May I - Monument Guitar tone POD HD patch

[IntoEntropy]

http://soundcloud.com/into-entropy/miss-may-i-pod-hd-tone

when i isolated the guitar tone from the song "our kings" turns out its quite fizzy. the pod hd fizzes quite differently (that or i may have to tweak it a bit more). but i think i got close enough to match their frequency response without using match eq. so i guess its not about taming fizz but hiding it well enough in the mix to make it work.

settings are on the soundcloud link.

I always thought Joey used Mississippi Criminal for that album :/

here's a quick demo of this guitar tone in action. the song is by a band i'll be recording in a couple weeks and they're looking for a MMI tone so i figured hell ill try it out and see if its close. it's not far from it.
what do YOU guys think?

all i did to this guitar tone was HP 50h and LP 16k. that easily took care of "the fizz"

Tommy, mind getting me those settings? I got my POD HD Pro and I wanna try this tone out. I'm diggin it.

From memory, the cali head is gain at 75%. Bass at 10 o clock. Mids at 3 o clock. treble and presence at 100%. That's going through the Treadplate cab, condenser mic, no room.
The tube screamer was 9 o clock, 12 o clock, and the final knob is between 3 o clock and 100%.
Don't forget to put a noise gate in front of all that.
Then post processing is just HP/LP at 50hz and 12k.

I based the tone settings off of memory which I'm pretty sure is correct. But if the OP remembers them or can look them up and they differ from mine, please let this fella know.

50 is kinda a low high pass wheres the room for bass and kick?

 

[Tommy Evans]

NO! The HPF MUST remain at 50hz or it will ruin the mix and stink up your whole day!


But really, It was a quick mix I did to test the guys patch. Everyone is more than welcome to slide that HPF up if they please. It's not a bad idea at all.

fo sho!

Sweet thanks bro. This HD Pro is killer.

Totally depends on the curve of your filter. For example the Cubase High Pass I has a really weird curve, if you put it at 50hz, in other filters it would be closer to ~100hz

 

[Tommy Evans]

Well that just sounds inaccurate. Is that an extreme case of different EQ plugins being different/better than others? I've been meaning to delve into this subject, but have lazily concluded that 100hz is 100hz and a Q1 3db dip at any frequency is the same no matter what the plugin. And if it's not, it should be. Right?

does anyone have the settings used for this? Tommy was it the settings you posted above?

when you say cali head do you mean treadplate? i didnt think the hd had the cali. ive been looking for a miss may i tone for ever. so im really interested in this patch

 

[Tommy Evans]

Yes Cali=Treadplate. Not sure if HD has it or not, I had to buy the Metal Shop Add On to get it in my Pod Farm thing.

 

[irakayden]

pretty sure hd was just treadplate.so that patch wasnt for hd then?
