Members Joeytpg Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 tommi, what software are you using for mastering? i just bought a Metric Halo ULN-2 interface, which is an AMAZING interface, i believe i'm covered regarding Pre's. I have a couple of decent mics and i'm using Logic Express 8. But i need a good Mastering software. I've been thinking about purchasing Izotope Ozone which i've read is VERY good. I like your recordings....very linear (no big jumps in sound) but at the same time VERY dynamic. What are you using?i'm writing my CD and i'm getting ready to record it.

I personally didn't like Ozone that much although it has everything nicely in the same package. I use Voxengo Elephant for limiting (Kjaerhus Classic Limiter before that)... normally I use Voxengo Marquis Compressor and GlissEQ on mastering. Some UAD Pultec. It really depends what I'm after.

Members hal9000 Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 Originally Posted by pedrozepelim Ok, so I tried your way: bought a volume pedal, connected it to the loop.

Major tone sucking in the clean channel: all the sparkning and was gone, as if I had turn down thw treble knob. Does your method with thw fx loop attenuator also gives you this results? No, the FX loop master is transparent as far as I'm concerned until you get to ridiculous levels of cut. I normally use the FX mix pot at 2:00 and I'm very happy with the no-earplugs-necessary tone. Perhaps you have a volume pedal that's not suited for the line level loop of the F-series? I would recommend a passive pedal with a resistance of 25k Ohms if possible, but a regular guitar pedal will work too (usually ~ 250k Ohms).

I just picked up a Morley Little Alligator volume pedal for $25 shipped, mint condition. Going to try that in the loop this weekend. I'll report back. I do get some issues which affects the clean channel when I pull back my MXR EQ's level slider so I understand where he's coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rodimus Prime Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 hey all. I've had a chance to play a Mark IV and i really enjoyed it however i didn't get a chance to a/b an F-Series amp and the Mark IV. Does anyone have any extensive experience in comparing the two. I understand that in this thread there is a certain bias, but i'll use it to counter the bias from the Markians out there.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks How about this: When I have more time, I'll give you my thoughts on the subject. BTW, I think the Mark IV is a terrific amp and it's on my personal list of the best amps ever made.

Members drewser Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 My F-30 hisses way too much on the clean channel. What is going on? What to do about it? TIA for any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eddie.perez Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hey Andy, I got another question for you, I'am now using a Dynamic Sennheiser e906 to record my F-100 head out through a Rectifier 2x12 cab. I usually position my mic a little away from speaker cone to get those mids and lower mids going. Now everytime I record a track the tone pickups up perfectly with the senn( can't ask for more in that aspect), but I feel that the effects on my GT-8 processor are not really being pick up. I was thinking of pairing up with a condeser mic to pic up really fine detail on the effects, such as reverbs, delays, and echoes. Will this work? If so what type of condeser mic would you guys recommend? Also you know how they say that if you crank your amp up a little bit your not getting the full tone that the f-series amps suppose to deliver. I was thinking and judge if I'am wrong but, wouldn't it be nicer if you could crank your amp up to get that full tone and bring down the db's with a Hot Plate to get the best out of my recordings. Will this work, are the THD Hot PLates known for being used for recording purposes? I just want to get the best out of my amp without hearting my mic.

Members Mrmot Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hey guys, I just came up with this settings, some fat clean sound.. I used some cheap washburn guitar with HSS pickup layout, used the neck single-coil with the volume very slightly rolled down (like 9/10), new strings (they contribute a lot!).. it kinda reminds me of the intro clean sound of the band Die Toten Hosen, song "Ich bin die sehnsucht in dir". sorry for very sloppy playing, just a short one-take improv clip.. SM57 in front of the F-50 combo settings: contour mode (yes, contour) gain: 7:30 treble: 10:30 mids: 2:00 bass: 11:00 reverb: 8:00 master: 9:00 clip: F-50 combo fat clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gregv Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 hey guys,So I played a cover song with a few classmates at our class formal dinner the other day. When we were getting set up I had the chance to turn my new F30 up and hear it at its best..............wow it sounded great!! Now that I have it back in the basement and people are at home I rarely get it above 9 oclock. I tried looking around but there is so much info and cant seem to find some tricks about getting the full volume tone at low volume levels. I don't have any effects and am relatively new to guitar (2-3years) so dont know too much or feel comfortable "altering" my equipment!Does anyone have or can lead me to any tips or tricks to help me get some better tone at lower levels. Thanks so much in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum and the F-series brotherhood. Depending on how much gain you use, there are two different methods I recommend. If you're a high gain player (Gain 12:00+ on CH2) then you'll likely be fine with my FX Loop master volume design (in my signature) or any number of quality devices on the loop like a good passive volume pedal, an MXR 10-band EQ, a pro-line-level FX processor, etc. If you use lower gain and like to crank up the master for power tube overdrive, an attenuator is really the only way to make that happen. I would suggest the THD Hot Plate for a power attenuator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
