Best tutorial I have seen. Now I can start getting real sounds out of Amplitube. Also enjoyed how you explained the ENGL Amp. Very helpful. Have a great day!!
Thanks for another amazing video. Worked great for me and I love the sustain. Each step you took was easy to follow and kept taking it up a notch. For the love of God was cool to throw in there. I love your videos my friend. Can't wait for the next one.
I appreciate your kindness and generosity my friend! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you for inspiring me to keep going!! I have a cool tone idea for the next video! Let’s see how it turns out!
Right on. I appreciate what you do. I have had so many amp sims and have been recording on computers since '96. I've used Amplitube for years, but struggled with all of them before I finally was starting to get good sounds. I bought Amplitube Max and was so disappointed at my abilities to get a good sound. I was getting closer, but kept going to other amp sims. I knew somehow we could get these to sound good, but your videos and seeing your workflow on them truly made me love Amplitube the way I knew I should. Anyways, thanks for your channel. Truly.
Thank you for sharing this words my friend! I’m so glad I can help tie loose ends in your library of knowledge! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 it’s all about sharing the little that we get in our journeys and share it with our village to make it better! I may not be a great guitar player, but if I can help a good one enjoy their day a little more, I’m greatly happy! 😊😊 anyway, thanks again!
Hooo it was an ENGL 😛. I've failed. Nice video brother 🙌. When you talked about the output levels your 100% right. In Amplitube it's so easy to get it clipping comparing to the other softwares.
I knew it was a really hard challenge! I enjoyed the experience and hearing you guys out, and what your guesses were! I would have guessed similar too!! 🤣🤣 thank you for your nice comment my friend!! And let’s remember 🤣 stay out of the clipping zone 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing video ! Thanks a lot! I'd love to see how you mix guitars together after having such a precise setup in amplitube. It's my actual burden: It sounds great individually, horrible in a mix
Oh my friend!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 guitar tone is one thing, mixing is another!! Specially because we have to learn how to loose, in order to win! Thanks for your nice comment friend! I appreciate it a lot! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Such a great lead tone!! I love it. Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings my friend and, you would try to get the hard/glam rock tone with JH Gold as a challenge. :8)
The JH Gold is certainly one of my favorites!! I’m sure it can do a MEAN GLAM ROCK sound! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks for your nice comment friend! I hope you’re having a great weekend! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey, great stuff, just caught it now and I'm definitely going to try it out. Sorry I've been behind, caught up in a few things otherwise. Cheers brother. 🤘
My brother!! 🙌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you so much for stopping by today my man! I hope you’re doing great!! Gimme a Frampton song to make a tone just for you!! I owe you that one! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@Itsjorgelanzas this one sounds like one I can work with for sure. I'm certainly in agreement so far on that Engl amp. Let me see if I can tweak this one. I'm still looking for that clean, compressed lead tone without the dirt. Dirt. And really without much modulation I suppose. Today I played a little bit with the EJ tone, I enjoy those violin type tones as I tend to be a legato type player. Other examples would be Carlton, Frank Gambale, Scott Henderson etc... No rush for me brother, I definitely appreciate it. I'd love to get a chance to catch you on the next live or something to work on it somewhat together, collaboration is always nice. Bringing different perspectives. You had a great one here though, and I did enjoy your anthem tribute (although at one point I was expecting some Hendrix feedback and pyrotechnics!!) 😎🤘
I hope next year I’m at a different level and can add some Flare to the anthem!🤣🤣 and we’ll figure out a way to collaborate in the future my brother! We’ll align in some point for sure! Thanks for your nice comments, inspiration and support! I appreciate you
@@Itsjorgelanzas wherever you're at you're at, I'm sure you better then you admit. But it's about the individual, the personality you bring. I'm ready whenever you are, I'm only getting older 👴😎. Ps , I did catch part of your video before we went live today, and it made me mention to Ed that when we adjust our output volume that we should do it from the amplifier, perhaps a pedal, rather than the main out. You're right, the sound does get crappy when it's too hot. Thanks for that. 🤘
Hi!!!! All white buttons are out (wide band), more often than not if I’m boosting frequencies I would be using a wide band, I would only push the “hi q” buttons in if I were cutting something I disliked. Like a bad frequency from a bad pickup or something of that sort. 😅 in all honesty I wouldn’t use these eqs for corrective work, I’d put a transparent parametric before or after at5. Anyway, hope this helps you my friend. Thanks for your comments
thanks my friend, from Chile. I have a lot to learn... and ive been laing my whole life but with almost no eqs, compressors, (not to say more than one) I learnt today that compressors add sustain. is it because increases the low volumes? anyways, a lot to learn, I thought that with a good amp, a tube screamer, some delay and reverbs we were all set!!!
Greetings to chile my friend!! And you are correct about that compression principle! 🤘🏻you flatten the peaks, get them closer to the valleys and then you raise the whole thing up. Thank you for your comment and I hope you have a great week!
Great tutorial! Thanks. Just a question: why you put the delay and the reverb in the amp EFX loop ( loosing stereo output) and not at the end of the chain in the stereo mode? Is there a particular reason? thanks a lot.
Of course! Good question, you use the verb and dly in the efx loop to make it come through the cabinet. This makes it feel like a normal amp when I’m in the studio, it also makes it easier to find a spot for a particular guitar within a mix, not everything can be wide and big in the steep field. Most likely than not, when making a guitar tone in real life and using pedals or rack effects you go through the cab. But, you can use the other option, when you want to have a wide guitar. Hope this helps my friend! Have a great week!
Could quite a few of these steps like adding in the highs and cutting some of that woof been not needed if you used a guitar with single coil pickups? I just sold my fender Stratocaster that I used for over a decade as my only guitar and been entertaining the idea of getting a guitar with humbuckers but every time I play them, I just keep thinking they have too much mud and I have to keep adjusting the eq way too much and it still never gives me that bright and chimey sound I can get with a strat or telecaster. There's a few scenarios I would prefer to have humbucker pickups for that darker sound but most of the time I just don't see the point. Good video and I would like to hear your thoughts if you don't mind. Conclusion from what I hear, a humbucker takes something out of the sound of the guitar that I have never found a video showing someone being able to get it back. It always comes semi close but never sounds quite the same. It muddies up something in the frequency that gets lost or something. I'm not sure but I'd be very interested if anyone has an explanation for it.
Interesting ideas my friend. In my experience, as a mainly single coil player, nothing sounds like single coils, no matter what you do. The closest that I’ve gotten is a PRS with their coil tap lowering the vol to 8 and having a treble bleed. It’s the closest, but still not the same. You can eq all you want, but there’s parts of the sound that you just can’t replicate. When you can only have 1 guitar you have to compromise, if I had to, I would just have my prs se. Great middle ground, I can funk, surf, rock, jazz and metal with it and nobody but me would know the difference. In blind testing and context work, nobody would ever really care. But for your own enjoyment, with the current tech, if you’re as picky as I am, we’re not getting perfect single coil and humbucker sounds in one guitar. Idk, maybe the super expensive boutique guitars that I can’t afford are able to do it, but nothing that I’ve ever tried or that’s accesible to me can do both. I hope this helps friend. Have a wonderful week ahead! 🙌🏻
@@Itsjorgelanzas Thanks for the response. You confirmed my suspicions on single coils. I suppose I will just buy a cheap strat knock off and go from there to replace my fender that I sold. I found I could always get a nice beefy distortion tone if I tweek the eq and was happy with it but like I could never make a humbucker sound like my strat. I also have amplitube 5 so that's how I found your channel and have been watching the amplitube videos you have made.
I agree with you, specially in amplitube, you definitely can make single coils sound beefy. If I can suggest maybe, a nice set of noiseless is usually a good idea too, because with enough high end in amplitube or just using the right amp you will forget they are noiseless, but when you use a fat distortion, you’ll have a little less noise to fight with, so you can have more open of a tone than otherwise. But, that’s up to you my friend! I try to reply whenever i have some time! I appreciate you watching my videos and supporting me! I hope you can find some value or at least some entertainment in every video! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi again are the white button’s in the middle of the EQ-81 pushed in or out?

One more question what is the best sample rate to record with in your opinion?
Great tutorial. I went with the 4x12 Vintage M1 cab. RAWK!
What a killer cab right??! Its amazing how important it is to choose the right cab for the right application! Thanks for your nice comment friend!🙌🏻🙌🏻
