Hey guys,
today I tried some impulses with my 6505 but the result sounds really dull and misses a great amount of presence and brightness. I hope that some of you can figure out what I'm doing wrong! My setup is the following:
ESP Horizon (with Duncans) -> OD 808 -> 6505 (Preamp out) -> Apogee Duet2 -> SIR2
I used a Hot Plate as load for the amp and set the post gain to 2.5 (because the post gain directly influences the volume of the Preamp out?!). The rest of the settings are similar to that in this thread here:
pre gain 4.5
low: 7
mids: 2
highs: 7
post gain: 2.5
resonance: 6
presence: 9
I set the OD 808 to the following:
Drive: 9:00
Tone: 12:00
Balance: 12:00
You can here the recorded signal from the amp without the impulses here:
PreampSignal
and finally with the following impulses applied with SIR:
GuitarHackJJFred45_1
Mesa4x12SM57Pres8
Is that a normal result for applying impulses or is there something seriously going wrong? Are there any tricks for post processing or will the mastering increase the presence of the guitar in the final mix? I would be very thankful for any kind of support or information.
