Brad's Guitar Amplifier Isolation Mark 2 Box Design, Build and Sound Test - 3(of 3):Sound Test

This is extended and includes clean samples
N.B. This is video 3 in a 3 part series
Designed to reduce the volume of an amp, to isolate the sound and reduce the reverb in recording.
The db drop is about 40db+..I have an orange tiny terror head and when about a quater volume with 3/4s distortion, as sampled in this video, a speaker in the box connected to it is inaudible outside the box.

It's late in the night and I'm listenig to this demo with mt Akg k240...same impressions as previous comment:REAL SINGING tone....awesome

@SpeedPickers yeah nice headphones dan....i listened to an amplitube 3 sample after listening to my iso box and could really tell it was simulation....i think a real amp is the only way..

@SpeedPickers Sad that you weren't able to get a good sound with amp sims, it took me about two years to find some good ones along with cabinet impulses etc. But right from the start I noticed how good the lead tones were??? I have great taste btw lol

[CharlesRoss2007]

Actually somehow this sounds worse than an amp sim...

[CharlesRoss2007]

HORRIBLE TONE, NOT GOOD AT ALL... SRY TRY AGAIN!!! Sounds hissy, scratchy, noisy, not smooth at all, not even close to a tone that sings. It's not my personal opinion, it's the truth.

[RobMackenzie]

Sounds good, plus I love that you're playing clean stuff in the demo. Your design looks perfect to me.

@mrmanynotes yeah a cube is basically the idea....clearly though the material of it will affect the decibel drop of the amp......some people use old fridges.try amplitube 3 if not.....its pretty darn good i reckon

[BenCurrington]

Sounding good :)

@BRADHblackdragon that's the same reason why I'm also waiting for my isocabinet! I think that it's better for modelers brand to try to find new "sounds" for the electric guitar than to try to emulate something real...these days they are good( digital I mean) for rhythm and clean sounds but nothing comes close to REAL mics for lead sounds...
