Solo C is THE SHIT

[NSGUITAR]

So lately I've been in love with sending a signal from SOLO C out with my DI to my 5150 for recording. I've been using it as a booster, sort of like a tube screamer. So instead of sending just a DI/dry whatever you call it track out to the amp, I've been enabling SOLO C instead as a booster.

To put it simply, the characteristics that the Solo C can add are astounding.


Here's a clip where the guitars are played with this chain:



Gibson Les Paul--->Tube Screamer---->Orange Rocker 30

And here's the same clip, everything set exactly the same, except through this chain:



Gibson Les Paul--->Solo C----->Orange Rocker 30

For me, it gives me a sound and a characteristic that is unique and it works quite well.

Sounds good man. I've never been able to get a decent result using the Solo C as a boost. I do enjoy the cleans I can get with it though.

Just using the vst plugin

Input-5

Set to "clean"

all crunch/overdrive/eqs are set to 12 o clock and master is set to 7.

I noticed that the 'master' is just like the overdrive/gain knob on a tube screamer. but there's something about the timbre of the SoloC that really clicks with me!

SoloC head or SoloC Preamp ?

 

[NSGUITAR]

Preamp? I think. I didn't know there was more than one version of Solo C.

Yep Dandelium did this for a while into the 8505 amp sim with killer results. I've had decent results with it. Solo C is great for cleans.
