Author Topic: Trilogy Suite - emulate valve breakup tones using modellers. (Read 4920 times)

Two clips.

'AT' is an Andy Timmons riff and was recorded through my Behringer X V-amp. Marshall Plexi model with a bit of delay.

'Breakup' was recorded through Guitar Rig 2. Again, Marshall Plexi model, with a TubeScreamer stomp pushing it slightly.

The pickups are my Trilogy Suite neck pickup and my Mother's Milk neck pickup wired up to make a pseudo neck humbucker.

The tone is very bassy but I love it. It sounds stupendous through my Valve Junior set to clean/very slightly breaking up. I'm selling my X V-amp soon and getting a V-amp 2. I'm getting lots of good tones with the X V-amp but the lack of a 3 band EQ is limiting the tones I could get with the amp models IMO. The V-amp 2 also has an Aux In.

And Guitar Rig 2 is rather good too :). The amp models are better than the V-amp's but not by much at all.

Very nicely done. IMO your tone was spot on for Breakup. The Timmons riff had good tone and feel too.

$%&#gin hails man
i suggest you to get rid of the V AMP thing .
get youserlf a pod instead of the v amp. the distortion on the v amp is compared to a ZOOM 1010 . and i dislike it at all.
no offense ok?
Also... i bought that Behringer pedal GDI-21
this one sound´s good.
Q:)
i have a soundclip if you want.

Cheers for the replies :).

Could you PM or email me that clip of the GD121? That would be grand.

I'm going to try a few units out very soon. The Zoom G2 and the Pod 2.0 will also be tried. I'm not looking to spend more than 120GBP or so.

I used to have a Toneport UX1 and won't rule out buying another one either :P. I could use GR2 through it as well and it would solve my latecy problems.

Thats becasue it's so incredibly similar to the Tech 21 pedal (well actually it's more than just similar hint, hint). So it should give a good sound.

don't suppose you have tried out their wah, as it allegedly sounds very similar from a certain wah from hell ?

Hmmmmmmmmmm, nopes, i didn´t play their wah
i bought a WAH WAH CRYBABY DUNLOP
i preffer this one over the morley´s
morley screams too much. noisy.
I have tried both. i don´t like the tech 21 sans amp
i preffer the behringer.
but my favorite is the Boss Metalzone -mt-2 and the Rocktron Metal Planet.
but i didn´t try this Rocktron at home yet.
it´s the next distortion pedal i´ll buy
i´m also looking to the AMT electronics metal pedals.
the Du hast, California, and British.
not sure which one to get too.
