Simulated amps/effects

[Line Level Recordings]

hey guys
im about to record this band
and i heard what they wanted to sound like ( iwrestledabearonce,all shall perish )

and so i thought.
i bet those bands producers use amp sims/podfarm ect.

so, what do you guys recommend for amp simulation.
i tried out the peavey revalver MKIII, it was pretty nice!

but i want to see what else is out there.

anybody want to share some of their favorite products?
(just a link of the product or a brief description would be great!)

thanks

Revalver and Pod Farm are two of the best that i have tried. and i have tried eleven and it is ok

Not sure why you would think that All Shall Perish and iwrestledabearonce used amp sims. A search would pull up this thread New All Shall Perish songs...amps??

Making assumptions like that is probably not a good thing.

huh..
well.. i guess you learn something new everyday
i just assume people just direct their guitars

thanks for the heads up, man!

for podfarm, would it be better to have the hardware pod and do it from there or DI'ing and using the podfarm plug in ?

i usually just mic the amps, but i wanna try directing.

Just get a good radial d.i. or a countryman d.i. and go direct with the plug in. and if you don't like what your getting just reamp the clean d.i. tracks you will have.

 

[Norris-wf]

You could try using the Amp with Impulses, record the di at the same time so you can always reamp or just use an ampsim on it.

I helped All Shall Perish demo their last two albums using just Amplitube and EZDrummer but that's strictly just for theirs and Nuclear Blasts ears. Chris used his Rocktron Prophesy 2 on the latest album and I think Ben used the VHT but I do recall an ENGL being setup there at the time...not sure if it was used. As for attaining the sound...try blending 8505 with the new LE456.

Do you work at Castle Ultimate?

 

[lordofthestring]

Nope, do not work there. I've just recorded there before and have also sat in on recording sessions for friends bands.

Ah, cool.

Going from the head direct into the DAW and then through an impulse works pretty well

A friend of mine is running through a line6/bogner tube amp into an impulse

Are you running it into a line level input or a instrument input ?
