I think some also have to be tailoring the frequency response because some of these IR's act like a high pass filter is rolling everything off above a certain point. When you have something like a JCM 800 and you can crank the presence knob and it has only a mild effect of the high end of the...

The only ones I have really gotten good use out of are the York Audio and EAS Studios. I actually don't find GGD or ML Soundlab or even Celestions offerings to sound that natural (although some of the Celestion stuff is ok). They all sound too smooth and already EQ'd and that drives me nuts...

It may sound great with anything but it will still sound different with just about everything.

Something about this is giving me Deja Vu. I think this might not be this retard’s first offense.

Too many killer guitars all through this thread! I’ve been playing this tele partscaster I put together today and just about every day: Chambered alder body with a swamp ash top, double bound - really lightweight. All nickel hardware, Fatpups Freedom ‘55 pickups woth a slightly overwound...

We only had about 80% here but approximately 7 years ago we had a total eclipse and that was quite spectacular. We went up to a park called Lake Winfield-Scott here in the Southern Appalachians and it was not crowded or anything. Shadows looked weird, especially of tree canopies and during the...

I have both the TC and Peterson clip on tuners and I actually prefer the TC. Maybe I’m just not used to it but I find the the little strobe wheel thing a little hard to follow visually and I just seem to get in tune faster with the TC. The polytune function is worthless though.

To a degree I think they just shot their wad and were spent after AJFA. When you take in everything they did up through that album, it was a monumental feat of inspired riff-based songwriting. That well had to run dry. To me the only band that comes anywhere close is Megadeth and I’d say they...

I had some of those speakers in a (non-Mode 4) 2x12 and I loved them. Shouldn’t have sold that cab!

How much cheaper were they when the same “higher end” Korean guitars were like $500-800?

No way, even the coarser grit erasers won’t do what you’re thinking. They aren’t enough to get deeper gouges out of the frets from filing mistakes. They’re just enough to smooth out that gritty feeling from a fresh filing, and then as you go up in grit they just get it shiny and glassy smooth.

They do work better, and they take a little time going up through all the grit levels but if you do it’s nice and shiny and smooth, and relatively fool proof to do.

I think it’s clear what’s happening is American manufacturers like Gibson are having to find ways to make American customers adapt to permanently paying much higher prices for what were once cheap imports. These guitars will now occupy the pricing position that entry level American made guitars...

For me it’s Lemonburst > Honeyburst > Tobaccosunburst. I definitely need one with P90’s sometime though, but it sure as shit won’t be a ‘53 unless I do something real dumb like cash out investments.

Man that 53 goldtop LP with the P90’s sounds amazing. He used it on a number of songs. I love his music but it’s also a fun show just for the gear and everything. Different guitars almost every song, lots of different sounds and tones across material that ranges from rock to americana and...

That may be so, but a lot of the big name IR’s just plain suck. They do not sound like just the miked up cab, they put their own sonic signatures on them with post processing. Whether its Ownhammer or Celestion or whoever, they’re all kind of processed sounding. One of those kinds of sounds may...

What kind of British Invasion speaker is it? The British Invasion line of Warehouse speakers has a bunch of different models all based on Celestions. The Veteran 30 is close-ish to the Vintage 30.

You can get a good sound out of a DSL combo, but they don’t all have a good speaker. The sound you’re looking for is going to be most likely found with a vintage 30. You’ll have to boost the amp if you don’t already, probably best bet being a BOSS SD-1 or an MXR Custom Badass Overdrive (like an...

I’m listening on headphones and it is pretty hard to tell, and it shouldn’t be.

Ok, also I listened to the clip from your original post. First the guitars seem to be a single performance in mono. Two takes panned left and right respectively will make a huge difference. Tonally the guitars seem to maybe have a weird reverb going on and they’re also kind of fizzy. If you...
