dude that's very close....haha

almost fooled me for a second


do the ringing power chords too! do it!

thats one of my fav. KSE songs

 

[Ericlingus]

I like it! what did you use to achieve this tone? Specific details would be appreciated. I must admit you are really good at acheiving tones using amp sims.

 

[Tommy Gun]

Yeeeesssss..... Tell us your secrets so we can steal your soul.

 

[Rolv]

Killer tone man! We need them details!!

 

[abyssofdreams]

neat! glad you like it. I'll get back to this thread once I'm back from rehearsal

 

[K Odell]

yeah bro, I am uber interested in some details about that tone. So big sounding!

 

[Metaltastic]

Listening with headphones at work, but it sounds really good - if this is Wagner Sharp again, this is definitely the best you've gotten it to sound yet (I always found it to not be saturated enough, but this definitely has it)

 

[Mavaan]

Nice job,very punchy tone.

Could you give some tips what you got in guit channel and 2-buss.




Cheers!

 

[MetalJonesy]

[Metalus]

Sorry for the long wait but I was testing another setting, here's a short chug clip:

I still don't get the highend right however I'm liking this one a lot more now, sounds way more 3D to my ears.

About the clip, still all digital, still no chance to crank my 5150 (the walls are thin^^)

4 tracks Revalver (6505+), HP/LP filtering, Post EQ just a wide Q on the mids, not too deep though.

Bass is an old 4 string Warwick I have here. Heavily compressed with a channel strip.

Drums are mainly Slate samples, Kick15 and Snare13 afair.

What else... oh yeah, Fast release comp on the 2bus, about 4db of reduction on average. Attack around 25-30ms.

Then just some stereo EQ to boost the highs, some clipping/limiting for volume and I'm done.

 

[abyssofdreams]

this one has a more controlled highend, somewhat smoother, not so brittle^^

[Ericlingus]

no curve eq this time?

 

[abyssofdreams]

nope

 

[Ericlingus]

sounds really good. Care you share the settings? Did you do any extensive amp tweaking in revavler? What impulse did you use? Did you use any tubescreamer?

 

[Mavaan]

Nice guits,abyss.Like it lot...

Does here anybody anymore use real amps?
Have you testet yours 5150 with Hot plate/impulses?



Cheers!

The guitars on the first part of the original clip almost sound gated, and the second part of the first clip is a bit sludgy, maybe down to how tight it's played? I'm not sure.

 

[cobhc]

Settings for the KSE Clip would be much appreciated dude.

 

[Trep]

Nice guits,abyss.Like it lot...

Does here anybody anymore use real amps?
