Probably my best guitar tone so far

[~BURNY~]

Sorry to Rick Rose you guys... (didn't use the main riff section though)
The mix/mastering suck but that's not the point.
I'm finally happy with a guitar tone...

What do you think?

 

[Calippo Tecks]

Yeah, that's a decent guitar sound you have here.
Very curious about the chain?
<edit> I can see 6505 in the filename, but what impulse or cabinet did u use? </edit>
I didn't expect this was a 6505 tbh.

 

[~BURNY~]

It's my mesa standard cabinet.
Don't tell me you thought it was an ampsim... I'll just get a rope. lol

Very nice! Reminds of the Sneap tones from about 5 years ago.

 

[~BURNY~]

Wow. Thanks. I wish I was half as good as Andy 5 or even 10 years ago.
Actually, I tried to calibrate my ears to The Blackening. Damn.

+1. This tone is sick.

And to the guy who thought this was ampism...

Edit: Burny, what were your 6505 settings? (if you don't mind sharing them)
I'm trying to dial-in my 6505. I also have a a TS9 in front. Any specifics would be awesome! Thanks.

 

[~BURNY~]

Thanks. No problem.

liiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit harsh on my ears, may wanna shelf off some of the highs with a soft analogue EQ. in a mix context this tone would drown out vocals... but you said it's not mixed yet so i'll give ya the benefit of the doubt ;] when tracking, if i'm not sure, i always err on the higher/ more shrill/fatiguing end of things, cause it's much easier to tame that then it is to inject life into a tone that's too dark/dull. IMO.

You could by happy with the tone, sounds very good.
Congrats dude.

 

[Mago]

sounds awesome to me too!
post at 2? wow

 

[lolzgreg]

Definitely a cool tone, but agreed that it is a bit harsh.

 

[amarshism]

i swear theres a note off in that riff...

likin the low mids and chunk of them, but am getting a little harshness off the upper upper mids

 

[~BURNY~]

Agreed. A bit harsh indeed. Also listening back, I am annoyed by the slightly nasally mids but that's still a nice improvement over my previous attempts.
I suspect that 4 identical sounds don't stack all that well. I wish I could afford a Krank.

Definitely something I had in mind my doing this one. I usually always end up with muffled tones and it seems to me like no software eq can fix that in a natural sounding way.

 

[KillDivision]

Great, what ampsim is it?


Sorry.

Great tone. I like my guitartones to have less gain, but it's a very good tone.

totally. some surgical notches and you'll have a grade A sound for sure, bro

 

[dasbrootal]

i dig this tone a lot dude. what kind of character does that MPA have when driven fairly hard?

 

[koalamo]

I'm hearing a little too much bottom end on some parts could just be my room though. Otherwise great sound dude, posts like this definitely make me wanna not use amp sims. ever.
