    Great! I love It. That war riff is so sick! Subscribed! I think I'll try that pick up on the bridge! I use SD JB 59 in a local manufacturer guitar. It sounds too smooth. I always insert an eq before the amp sim to compensate and It kinda works, gets way more punchy, but It would be nice to try that one you used

    Your playing was so good, I immediately screamed out the lyrics all the while lol. I actually think that the solo Mesa Boogie with the RAW pedal sounds a bit like the demo tape version of War, very juicy.
    I just got a Mesa 3x Rectifier sim on Amplitube 5, and I'm really eager to try getting a SOAD tone with it. Although might be more difficult for me since I only have an SSS Stratocaster haha.

    wow 8:18 that tone is badass I wish we could hear more of it isolated... Thank you so much for ACTUALLY dialing a great tone (it did sound similar to Daron's). Most metal youtubers dial in crappy tones with no articulation at all but you did great. Matter of fact I've heard many different plugins and many different youtubers showcasing different guitar amp sims, but this time, it doesn't sound like djent crap. Daron never fails to have a fantastic guitar tone, and you came very close, congrats. Btw, do you the exact model name of your interface? I believe there are different models of behringer uphoria so I'd like to know what model is yours. Thanks!

      @GaryHiebner  3 года назад

      @@GaryHiebner ok so like you know how you made a amp track with the Mesa setup and then you made a amp track with the marshall setup and after finishing the amp sets you combined them to have the System of a Down sound? That’s what I mwan

    • @GaryHiebner
      @GaryHiebner  3 года назад +2

      Yes you can. Just duplicate your guitars tracks to other tracks and then add the different amp sim on those tracks and then mix them together. So I recordered two guitar tracks. And then duplicated those two. And each set has a different amp set on.

  • @malabeans5676
    @malabeans5676 2 года назад +2

    The playing is really good but I think there is too much fuzz and way too much low end, most of that low end is carried by the bass guitar. In the intro there should be no boomyness, should be mostly mids. But that aside it is still very close to the original sound.

      @GaryHiebner  3 года назад +1

      Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Amplitube is a more complete produ t in that it in ludes a wide variety of amps, speaker cabs and effects. But I honestly think STL Tones produces better amp sim products. I've got both AmpHub and ToneHub. And they are both amazing. Try them out. There's trial versions of both. And you'll hear how they are better when going for more hi-gain tones.
