rate my guitar tone (raw mix with TH1 & impulses, S2.0 and bass)

[updog]

While we can only use an Ibanez RGR321EX with stock pickups (yeah I know... worst DI's ever) and I'd want to try different ampsims before deciding which tone will be final, right now I'm trying to get a best possible tone for our band's demo in case we'll end up using TH1.

I wanted to put the tone in context so you guys can form an opinion. Do you think the current tone is even usable? Would you think it would be better to record everything again with a guitar with good pickups?

The mix is very raw at this point, but this clip is the solo part of a song and it doesn't have all the solo guitars yet. Tell me what you think.

You think so? Thanks man!

Yeah, I intentionally turned the guitars up a bit for this clip

sounds super man
but the rhythm guitars need more bite for this format ( IMO )

good job man

The guitars have a nice crunch. I would back a bit off of the mids (A LITTLE) and then add some more presence and you'll be set.

this is what i was kinda trying to fucking say haha

Thanks a lot guys! Doing that right now.

I backed the mids off just a bit, but presence was already at full... Tried to achieve the results in another ways.

I think it has just a bit more bite now. What do you think? Should I do some more dramatic changes? How else I could increase "presence" other than turning the virtual presence knob?
