Your new clips sound slightly less "polished" and rather more like a close mic'ed amp, which is good if that's what you are looking for !
For me, I prefer the SLO tone to the 5150.
What are you actually intending to use these patches for Hunter ? Live band use ? If so, FRFR or amp/cab ?Recording ?
I'm assuming that we are hearing the direct recorded tone. But that will actually sound very different to the tone you would get out of your cab(s), I'll bet.
For those commenting about the clips all sounding like a modeller, I suspect that they are either listening with their eyes (ie. it can't sound good because it's a modeller), or are not actually experienced at recording amps and hearing what a dry, close mic'ed recording sounds like.
It is impossible to capture the experience of sitting in front of an amp/cab when you record it. it will be similar, but different.
For me, you're getting closer and closer Hunter. I'd want a touch more bottom end in those last clips though. :D
Thanks, yeah bottom end is a bit thin, but it helps in context with a bass, keyboards and another guitar I guess, will see Monday in rehearsal.
The intention is to get sounds that I use FRFR in a live situation. I won't be using the poweramp/guitarcab, but rather running through a FBT Verve12MA fullrange monitor - which is like my big balls guitar combo at the moment. It really gives that 4x12 thump while offering enough neutral response to be able to use different sounding cab IRs for different tones. It has coax design so doesn't offer many of the disadvantages of a "normal" 12"/2 monitor, and it has a quite equal spread of 120° which is much more than any rig I played before.
I have done 2 rehearsals with it and it was great, incl. compliments from the band members and wondering faces when they saw the size of the box as opposed to the amount of noise it makes :O)
My aim is to get rid of big rigs and rather have a small, very versatile, consistent package. Like this I can play the same setup with the metal band as with the cover band, get convincing clean, crunch, rock and metal sounds incl. the individual matching cab and even run acoustic and electric through the same rig (it being FRFR).
Biggest trouble I have is dialing in the metal part of it - but that's always been my weakness, I think since I heard "Holy Diver" for the first time, I wanted certain sounds and never got them, so for about 22 years...arghhh.
Well I think the 5150/reworked can be a good starting point to tweak from. Used a different cab and mic mix for that and that makes all the difference I suppose.
