Kranks DON't work....

[MetalJonesy]

(rev jrs anyway) for epic music, or music with depth and slow tempod stuff (ala. APC etc). been doing a cover for a course project at 132bpm and its just chords im playing in the heavy section, and the krank seriously dont hack it!!

its deffo designed in that department for the riffing and chugging. spent 3 hours in the studio today with 3 different mics and all sorts of positions with the cab in a dead room and i got no where. spent ages tweaking the amp in the control room too and have come to the conclusion its deffo caus it doesnt suit the song im doing!

heres the clip of the song, the heavy part is around the 2.16 mark

so far its layered 6 times to help it flow a bit better, each layer a different tone to get a more suttle drive

could have done with an Orange!!

gtrs are a bit loud on the 2nd clip accidently. the 2nd clip is one which has the same gtrs as the first, only just another layer ontop, with my krank recorded from over a mtr away from the cab to give a very even mid range open sound.

Did you try without a tubescreamer? What kind of cab?

Doesn't actually sound too bad at all IMO, but could do with maybe dirtying things up a little.

 

[MetalJonesy]

yup the first clip is totally no SD1 and eqd to FUCK!!! the second is that same gtr track with the mic a mtr away with sd1 to tighten it up.

the cabs a marshall 1960A with v30s and g1275s

I wouldn't say the Krank *won't* work for this type of music, maybe it's just your preference, cab, speakers, guitar???

Are talking in terms of sustain or just general tone feel?

[xFkx]

These songs are in dire need of teh MARSHALL tone !

*and quadtracking... maybe the krank can stay for the chugg effect, but layer it over with some dirty, slobbing marshall :]

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Yep, I agree! A Marshall would will this song in nicely! Is this the Rev Jr.?

-Joe

 

[MetalJonesy]

yer its the rev jr, with different settings and quad tracked and layered 3 times to give it the sustain and feel

Post the DI's and I will give it a shot with the big brother Rev if you like.

mate, that snare slaps the hell out of me...love it! got any samples of it or is it all natural?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Needs a vox or an orange.

 

[MetalJonesy]

i agree with it needing an orange!!!!

the snare is slate sample (3z1a), as with all of the drums! however the cymbals are my samples and i tracked the hats

just realised i already packed the di tracks into a rar file Guitarhak, they're located at:

Your thread title is partially correct. I couldn't get anything really suitable with the Rev so I gave it a shot (with my just repaired 6505) and couldn't get anything either. Both were too tight, the Rev much moreso. Sorry dude.

I did have another go at your AILD cover with the 6505 though (thought I would give the 6505 another test and see if it had a shitfit again). Results are in the original "Krank Rev into Mesa OS" thread if you are interested.

metal....i has orange ?

 

[MetalJonesy]

yeah im just downloading those clips guitarhack.

and if youd like to reamp the tracks again through the orange your more than welcome, i sent you them originally, and they are still blended in as the tone you got helped strengthen my tone, so if you have the time that would be wicked:-D

 

[ahjteam]

Try boosting 3dB at 280hz, it made the guitars sound a bit warmer imho

 

[MetalJonesy]

theres loads of bottom end already in the guitars! and after boosting it i totally lose the definition. i may give it another shot with a different set of reampd gtrs!

 

[Keiffer]

maybe post your mix w/o the gtrs.

exactly what are you after?
