Members guitarist17 Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 I couldn't believe how huge my tone was recording through a marshall v30 loaded striaght cabinet, with an i5 and a sm57!!!! i know these settings sound bogus, but WOW! I was impressed! bass-3 oclock midrange- 4-5 oclock treble- 0/ off presence- 4 oclock gain- 11 oclock, od2, 3rd gear seriously guys, ibiggest guitar tone I've ever recorded in my life! this was done in a studio on protools, but absolutely NO EQing at all, just double tracked and it sounds insane, ill post a clip when i can chris EDIT!!!!*** presence 10 oclock!!!!!

Everything you know about eqing amps gets thrown out the window when it comes to recording a band in my opinion. as far as how it sounded through the cab itself, nothing real inspiring from what i remember, i really dont remember actually. as far as volume, id say it was at about 9 oclock on the dial, which im sure you know is uberloud.

Again, ill try and post some clips when i get it mixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone uses the same guitars. well excuse me......i use some pretty regularly available guitars, a stock Les paul with 11-54 strings in C tuning, and a jackson RR-1T...there was nothing else in my signal, cab, head,guitar,period. pro tools rig with a digi 002, a mackie onyx 1604 board, a mac computer, a marshall straight v30 cab, with an i5 and a sennheiserr 609 mic on 2 different speakers....sounds simple enough to me. chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Romanian Reaper Posted August 31, 2006 Members Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well, you were right. I got a kickass sound by using those exact settings on my Splawn Competition. The first half of the clip are the following settings: Presence: 4:00 Bass: 3:00Middle: 4:00Treble: OffGain: Noon I was using my Fender with a Pearly Gates in the bridge so it is not as "metal" as a JB would be. For the rest of the clip I used my normal settings: Presence: NoonBass and Treble: NoonMiddle: 11:00Gain: Noon Here is the clip. It does seem to sound a bit better in the beginning and stands out better in the mix in my opinion: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=131229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're utterly pointless I don't think they are completely pointless. They give you a starting point and you can tweak from there. I would have never tried those settings in a million years but I got a great sound from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
