need some opinions on this tone (8505)

that sounds pretty damn good for 8505

sounds a bit muddy...kind of like too much gain or something, but I'm not an expert I wouldn't know how to fix it
 
I really like your tone. The only thing I don't like about this clip is the snare, sounds overcompressed to me. I think a longer release would make it better

thanks, i agree on the snare compression so i made yet another version of this clip with a different snare. Its the Slingerland 70's snare from Superior 2.0 Avatar and took off all compression and added a transient designer. thanks again for the tip! :headbang:

Great! I dig that new snare sound! Just another little thing, I thing it should be a little louder, but just a little, because it gets kind of lost when the headbanging riff begins (0:40).

You also added more cymbals, right? Those sound better too!

Man, I hope I get my music sound like this some day
 
yes reaper is the shit! :D

Thanks!, yeah more cymbals seemed to add what was missing in the mix i found..
 
Quick question: whenever I try to copy someone's signal chain, my guitars always sound really under-gained and nothing like the original examples.


I just used the chain you posted in the picture and here's my result: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1570706/wtf.mp3

I'm running my guitar through an M-Audio FastTrack USB through the guitar input.

Does anyone have a possible diagnosis?

You have to use a boost in the beginning of the chain like a soloC or a tubesreamer.
