Close actually. It's guitarsuite run through the vamp2's "tube preamp" model and into a peavey bandit 1x12. Kinda similar idea to reamping but just for speaker movement. I'm not sure if it's actually an improvement over what it was with just guitarsuite but it needs a bit more tweaking with the starting tone/eq on the vamp and bandit to tame the highs some(maybe wouldn't be a problem if it was a tube head?). Overally the biggest difference I think was it brightened the sound up and made it much crunchier. I'll add some bass later tonight and post a clip with the original gsuite tone as well.
Too crunchy as a matter of fact.
Back off on the gain....only use about 1/2 to 3/4 of what your using now. It will liven up the tone more.
Also work on playing it a bit tighter, 2 guitars with less gain will sound bigger in the mix. But they need to be tight ...
Lose the V-amp all together. It makes the sound cheap and thin. Ive trird this (i own a V-amp) thinking it may help give it that tube screamer vibe ... it doesnt. If you cant afford a TS then i would sugest the boss SD-1 its relatively inexpensive.
The peavey has a 10" speaker i take it, doesnt sound like a 12"
What are you micing it with ?
If you can scrape some cash together and get a Sure SM-57 or an Audix i5 it will make a big difference. Ive had some good results on an 8 inch speaker with the i5 ... kinda impressed me actually .... lol You can get either mic for about $100 new or under $100 on Ebay.
You may want to look into the line 6 tone port, just to get a good signal going in. Any good Mic Pre or Direct recording pre will help......
You may know all this already ... lol
What is your current setup ?
What exactly are you running ? Amp, guitar, pickups, preamps, effects ...etc
