NEW Mesa Trad Impulses!!!

This question has been bugging me since I started using impulses. When you sweep the signal through the head, what are the eq settings? Are they 'flat' or eq'ed to your preferred guitar sound?
 
Impulse clip sounds a tad undergained. When using impulses I've found I have to use more gain than usual, but when I do it works out great!

Great stuff though, thanks!!!
 
Great stuff! I have a question for pod/ pod pro users if i may- Is there a way to record with your output not using the cab sims yet being monitored through the speakers with the pods cab sims on?

Just a thought, as i get irritated recording with a fizzy direct sound. :)

You can mute Gearbox´s monitoring volume and turn on the monitor switch of your track (on the DAW). If you have the gearbox vst it´s even easier as you don´t have to open Gearbox.

sorry for asking such a noob question but here it is:

Here is what I think I do understand, you guys use as gear chain:
guitar>cable>[preamp>poweramp]>IR

in order to replace the pain of micing the amp properly.

What I don't get is the part between poweramp and IR. I always thought that unless you have a really expensive amp, where you can break out after the preamp stage, that in order NOT to ruin your amp you HAVE to hook it up to a cabinet, because of the missing resistance.

Can someone please explain exactly the way you hook up the quipment between preamp and IR ?!

Thanks a lot
OOT
 
Again some of the best impulses I've tried. Thanks !

I "reamped" a song with the new between -half, "amp" is revalver 2

This is probably the best guitar tone I've ever heard from Revalver.
Very nice work.
So only one impulse, right? Is it quad-tracked?

Is this all-Revalver distortion or did you have some pedals/preamp before the audio interface?

Congratulations,
Keep it up

I think that the XLR outputs have speakersim on even when when you set its output to "stack poweramp". on the PODxt pro I have...
 
Will it work to duplicate a track and add one dead center impulse on one and the fredman one the another?
I have tried, but didnt notice much of a difference.. did I do something wrong?
 
You're doing wrong if you're just copying-pasting the recorded guitar track...
Always record it twice, or it will sound kinda mono and thin...

I would record 2 tracks with center impulse and pan them left and right (ex. 100-100) and another two tracks with the fred45 and pan again (ex. 70-70)

I bet that would sound good but it's not the idea of "Fredman technique" at all. The idea is to record the same performance with two mics and adjust them to taste. So, I think MrLee is doing it right.
