  • Would have been nice to....hear the separated amps?

    This was the Dave Jerden trick to get Jerry Cantrell's awesome tone on Dirt

  • How do I get this dude job? Thumbs up if you want him to let us know!!!!!!!!

  • George Lynch used to apply this amp technique in the 80's with Max Norman, or maybe Michael Wagener, can't recall which producer/engineer.

    George would have dirty, clean and somewhere in between amp sounds and mix them up.

  • Really great tips! Thank you

  • @qorwoduf4 - Pod Farm, Amplitube, Waves.... lots of options to get there affordably.

  • who cares if someone gets your tone or close to it???there isn't anyone in years that has that of a unique tone anyway.

  • Or maybe stop spending your life looking for the perfect guitar sound and re-learn how to mix drums! Modern rock drums sound awful. Kick drum sounds like it's about 25 feet wide (blasting a huge whole in the bottom end leaving no space for anything else) and the snare sounds like the drummer dropped his stick into a plastic bin. Completely ruins modern rock and metal!

  • if I win a lottery or something Im gettin a studio like that!!!

  • @siriusisastar isn't Amplitude a video game?
