PassionFlower Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Nothing beats a good old tube amp. But as for modelers I still haven't found anything better than my trusty old Vox Tonelab. The only thing that's not great about it is the speaker emulation, but coupled with some nice impulse responses it is simply fantastic.

steveo12ax7 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Its funny how different things work for different people/setups. I had almost the complete opposite experience, I prefer single coils for my amp sims. Actually P90s seem to be the sweet spot for me. I have a tele with a set of P90s that is just about perfect for amp sims, but a little too mid-heavy with my current live rig. Since my last reply I've also discovered Kuassa amp simulations, and I consider them the best I've tried so far. Creme and Vermillion are excellent.

bobsbarricades Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I recently got guitar rig and stole an idea from Queens of the Stone Age. I threw one of my guitar tracks through a bass amp. Sounds rad Just throwing that option out there. I use it in conjunction with LAconvole and the free Marshall cab sim from redwirez. Wanna use their mixIR but no monies yet (GR5 was gift! an AWESOME gift!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWheel Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I found if I dial the volume back on the guitar to about 8 or 8 1/2 it seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of the amps in Logic. I do this a lot when I need a clean or slightly crunchy sound. If I need a rock/metal sound, I go wide open. I'll have to try the bass amps. That should be interesting.

webstersp Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm a guitarist in my band and I've tried everything possible to have the best sound we can with our guitars! For me there are only 3 way to get my sound but... with plugins now (amplitude 3 , pod etc ) you can get good results. But for me and our other guitarist we wanted our amps sound, our own sounds. 1st:The best way: mic your amp and play 2nd: if you only need your amp sound, and don't need 10000 amps, give two notes torpedo a try. Our guitarist got the torpedo live and we use it a lot! They've just released the torpedo reload that me be a better choice for home studio, I'll be getting one for sure! A loadboax with 50+cabs, re-amping ability, attenuator,Di and lot more for 800$ 3rd the kemper profiling amp. This is just incredible, it is an amp cloner that feels, play and sound like an amp! I've tried them all, pod, pod hd, axe fx ultra and axe fx 2 and the only one that sound like my amp is this one! Around 1800$ but you have 10000 or different amps!

bobsbarricades Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Oh m an I wish I could afford the Kemper. i didn't load about the torpedo though so I'll look into it. Maybe in the far future For now it's all ITB =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt7 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I cannot say enough about the EZMIX Guitar series ..I love them ...I’ll include a track I remixed , the stems I got were just acoustic tracks , I copy / pasted it into 2 channels and each channel I used a different instance / amp and effect , I panned one to the left one to the right also and the whole ezmix and guitars packs are really reasonable ..as a matter of fact I think you can get ezmix and 6 packs for $150 on amazon...anywho the first track is my remix the second track is the original Orignal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsbarricades Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 that's pretty good capt7 - for that style it's perfect! I found overloading my TCElectronics pre's a bit using...man I can't remember I'll try to dig up the track but I got a really good Fragile-era Reznor guitar sound. Hope I can post up the channel strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsbarricades Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Here you go. There's two I used in stereo. I THINK I might've used the yellow Boss Overdrive/Distortion OS-2 pedal...can't remember. ReznorFragileEra1.cst ReznorFragileEra2.cst hope that helps! If I might ask for some assistance too.... I'm totally buggered on how to sound like Adam Jones =( I just can't do it. The more I try it seems the more I totally fail. I read a recent interview where he talks about using 3 amps. 2 Diesel's and 1 "hot rodded" bass amp. 1 diesel focuses on high's, the other mids and the bass amp...well the bass I assume. I know Justin Chancelor ALSO uses 3 amps for his bass sound and i've had much better luck getting his sound than Jones. I pretty much am terrible at rock/metal guitar tones apparently. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgtr Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've played a ton of amp sims and for me Scuffham S-Gear with Redwirez IR's is the best I've found. Can't say enough about this combination. S-Gear comes with some Redwirez impulses but I prefer mixing the Boogie 212 cabs. You can buy individual cab impulses. This will take care of 30% of your tone, the rest is EQ so the guitar sits in the mix, but most importantly your guitar and fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Tuttle Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Ive had a Sansamp PSA 1.1 and that provides me with great sounds. I can really recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraze Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've been using the JamVOX plug-in exclusively for the last year or so. I own everything under the sun, but you know what? If I get to spend some time with it - people prefer it to my AxeFX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
