Kazrog said:They're great for demos, and thank you! However, when I a/b with the tone I'm getting now out of my 6505+ miked up, it's staggering how much better the real thing sounds!
sah5150 said:They sure are fun for screwing around with! I combined 2 different tracks of your patch with 2 of one of DIOBOLIC's patch to get this:

I ran all 4 tracks to an aux w a C4 tweaked from Andy's setting. I panned your patch tracks hard right and left and DIOBOLIC's +-60 down about 5DB in the mix. Guitar was a mahogany bodied star with an EMG 81. Some people really like it, some don't, but it sounds pretty good to me... I normally use lower gain, single tracked sounds, but I'm doing some heavier stuff now and experimenting.
Just killer patches...

Kazrog said:Sounds a bit scooped to me... I'd recommend duplicating the "5150 TS9 421" tone, and changing the Mic model to "57 on axis." Then try two tracks with the 421, two with the 57, and you should have the mids you need. Right now, the tone you have is severely scooped and won't mix well I don't think!

That's not to say they suck, but I'm not getting the type of sounds that others using the patches are getting. The patches sound weak with my guitars and I don't know why. Guitar number one is a Schecter Hellraiser C7 with EMG-707's and the strings are a little thicker than what comes stock. Guitar number two is an ESP/LTD EC-1000 Deluxe (black) with dual EMG-81's and 11-50 custom gauged set. Both guitars are mahogany body and neck, both necks are set. Both batteries were brand new as well as the strings before I had d/l'ed the patches.
Any guesses as to why they don't sound right with my axes? I could record some tracks this weekend or Monday to show what I'm talking about if you would like.
