Tweakin' guitar sounds... feedback requested.

[Glenn Fricker]

Hey guys,

I've been doing some heavy duty reamping & I've narrowed my tone choices to 2 sounds: Let me know which one you'd go with...

CLIP 1
CLIP 2

Thanks,

Clip two.

 

[LSD-Studio]

thy're both awsome!
but i like the 2nd one a little more, too.

 

[broken81]

funny cause i could live with either clip but 2 has a little more fullness!

what amp and cab? let me guess 5150 with marsh 1960 with v30??

 

[JeffTD]

2, but I'd quad track it and bring it slightly up in the mix - sounds kinda small/thin to me right now.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Amps were 5150 red & Recto Vintage mode into a V30 marshall. It's quad tracked, 2 on the 5150 & 2 on the recto.....

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'm kinda breaking new ground here with my miking technique, so your comments are apprecaited!

 

[JeffTD]

That's quadtracked? Might want to dial in some more bass on the amps... the whole guitar tone just lacks balls to me.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Fair enough.... I'm always trying to get the bottom end right. Usually I'm overdoing it... there's lots of bottom there, I'll let some back in.

I like the 2nd clip...

 

[Jackal_Strain]

I agree with DSS3. Could use some more balls, but I also think the sound is pretty close to perfect for this style of metal.
Oh yeah... clip 2!

Don't listen to him.

Both tones sound great, the first time through I had some time finding differences, but I attribute that to my crappy speakers here at work. Since that is a very wishy-washy attitude, I'd choose the second clip. Great work though!

 

[dill_the_devil]

Clip 2 to my ears - I think the level of bass in the tone is okay too, personally.

 

[Rekisum]

What happens if you use both sounds... dub the guitars??

 

[zmetallica]

clip two has more balls and is fuller. a bit more chunk is needed though, maybe add more bass or remove some treble/high mid.

 

[006]

2 sounds a little brighter, basically more clear. I like it more. Overall sounds fine really, only thing I think would be good is just to bring them up a little volume wise.

i prefer clip 2, it sounds like it has more mids. The first clip sounded good too, though. I think the guitars are alittle lacking in the balls department.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Thanks for the comments, guys. I re-amped things a little more & got the guitars up to "crushing" status. Actually, the new tone is the heaviest I've ever got... Thankfully, I remembered to write the settings down!

I'll post the final version in the next few weeks.

Both guitars sound a little fizzy to me, with not enough low end.

BUT, that bass sounds phenomenal!! and nice tune as well.
