Recording Distorted Guitar Tutorial Pt 3: Amp Settings

[boxerjr713]

He's like my sister when it comes to hair products lol

[TheGuitaross]

More like Girl In A Band...

[PeaveyESP]

Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE sounds. Line 6 are shite. Peavey ftw.

[TheSkullisher]

hey...check out ola englund videos

[auto4union]

Yeah.. ! You would notice more of a difference with a valve amp !! Loving these vids by the way ! Peace Ye`all !!

[smartfit]

all your tones sound the exact fucking same. maybe if a retard who could actually play the guitar ripped it, not just a pussie who uses his thumb to slide down because he thinks its cool.

[smartfit]

sounds shitty as fuck, turn it up or something your sound sounds like ass.

[falcoperegrinus82]

I wish I could play fucking loud, but alas, I live in an apartment.

[krziga]

BE LESS GAY AMD TURN DOWN F.... BASS FREQ.

[AngelicKuro]

Your valve amp theory is true, the higher the volume level, the more distorted and better quality the sound is.

[VladTheImpaler123]

right, these vids are really helpful, but that doesn't stop everything you've recorded so far sounding like shit.

[stratomaster134]

may aswell play a six string bass or something with a shit load of gain.., m i rite!?

[XDa7x4lifeXD]

As misha mansoor says,

CRANK YO' MIDS.

[SatanNazi]

want to be taken seriously?

use a real fucking amp, you know, with tubes, and a good cab.

be less gay

and alot less self advertising. i've watched several of your vids and never will go to your website, thats how it goes

[Quinn05]

@SatanNazi you dont HAVE to have tubes to sound good. their examples prove their creative miking can take them much farther than your tubes and closed mind.

[SatanNazi]

@Quinn05 yeah, well my Engls sound better than any clip i've heard these fuckers do, so imagine if they miced it and recorded it well with a tube amp. yeah

and yes, tube amps sound better than solid state. thats a fact.

[Quinn05]

@SatanNazi tubes are awesome, and i cant wait till i can get a tube amp. but they still did a good job showing that position makes a big difference, even if i dont agree with their idea of good tone.

[TheRussloner]

@SatanNazi Hey now try being nice. Nobody is dissing your amps. The amp these guys are playing with is actually quite an awesome machine. And No btw that is NOT a fact. I play through a fender hot rod deville tube amp and its great but there are some awesome solid state amps. Lots of pros even prefer solid state over valve amps. I guarantee you you'd take the sound of a tech 21 trademark over a cheap chinese tube amp with a lousy speaker in a blind sound test.

[burritoleader]

have to agree that this sounds.... really really bad

[fangerous200]

@ ClassicMetal91 you guessed it man xD

[MagicMirror981]

i use a valve amp and yes the volume can make a difference

[laitela01]

sounds pretty crap anyway.. how about buying real amp?

[ado811]

seriously these are the some of the worst guitar sounds i have heard

[thepissflap]

@ado811 dont you mean worst playing youve ever heard?

[ClassicalMetal91]

Line 6 ... there's the problem :P

[hsvdt]

another thing, you should really DI the same riff and play it back or put it on a loop machine rather than edit the tone through the riff when it changes.... otherwise its a bad representation of what you are trying to show us.

consistency guys, come on

[hsvdt]

on a tube amp its better to boost the pre volume and drop the master, thus you get a thicker tone because you are reducing the headroom before musical clipping takes place. i should know..... i own a 1970's tube amp with "only" a clean channel, but a master volume and pre amp volume, and yet i get a "distorted sound"........

[littlemissvampire100]

lol chavs smell :)

[ibanezman007]

If your going to buy a half stack, just go for a good tube amp and not a peice of shit solid state Line 6.

[Allister1823]

Mic up a tube amp guys. you will hear much more change in sound!!

[Bunters196]

:L Your a lucky lucky person.... man i hate chavs

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Volume make much of a difference with a valve amp. Adds punch, sustain, and just makes it louder. It also sounds alot better with less gain, as apposed to a Line 6 where the sound becomes crisper the more gain there is.

[Skaul]

WTF is that at 2:10 !

I HAVE to know now!

-Skaul

[tom3227]

who the fuck are these guys?

[krystiandobkowski]

Hmm it's rly helpful.. but.. isn't it better to use for example the Guitar Rig and record in Cubase, instead of spending thousand's of dollars for microphones????

[wwwboyinabandcom]

I'll be comparing amp sims to real mic'd up amps in a later video :)

Also, the mics I'm using aren't thousands of dollars, they're about the same price as the amp sim software I think ^_^

[EnervatedSociety]

Really depends on the tone you are looking for. So far, amp sims are not 100%. Still lacking in that authentic tube sound. I got my SM57's for about 80$ each. The audix i5 is another choice and cost about the same. For high gain tones, I would recommend Peavey's Revalver with it's cab sim off using a impulse loader and perhaps something like Recabinet for the impulses. That is if you want to go the amp sim route.

[EnervatedSociety]

Also, google "andy sneap forum List of guitar amp sim software" with out the quotes for a huge list of amp sims some of which are free and sound fantastic as far as amp sims go. For example LePou is awesome if you are on PC. The forum rocks as well. Tons of information from pros. Samples, impulses, tips and tricks and all around awesomeness regardless if you are into metal or not. Great people. Just make sure to search 1st.

Good luck!

[kukovrein]

the whole idea of micing an amp is getting its sound, so using this non-tube/crap amp is just useless, better get a software to emyulate it. sry i dont wanna be harsh i love this tutorial just the amp... no comment

[kukovrein]

sry also on guitar cabs as more loud you push it it will sound better/different.
