Ok, first, I suck at guitar. Always have, always will....
Now that we cleared that out of the way I also suck at dialing in tones on guitar. Always have, hopefully not always will...
So now that we cleared THAT out of the way I'll post my question.
I'm looking to get that nice metal tone of the guitar, I got th metal pack with the 5$ sale and been messing with it since. I see alot of people using this chain: gate->tsb audio screemer->ampire xt metal pack, and bang! They get the most awsome tones ever! Here's my problem...mine sucks! Like alot! I can't seem to get that clean distorted metal tone, I just get a dirty one no matter how I try. I understand it has probably alot to do with the guitar itself and as I saidI suck at guitars, but my bands guitarist is quite good and is picky with his gear. He uses a les paul custom with axe-fx 2 into an egnater 4×12 amp, so not the cheapest gear around...well, he tried my guitar (ibanez grg170dx-ca) with his gear and it dounded pretty decent, with that gear most guitars probably sound good but he thought it had more metal charecter to it. So that seems to me yo be a somewhat decent starting point.
Now, I can't get the tone I want so I was wondering if any of you guys would be so kind to share your settings with me. Ampire settings and ir if you use non stock speakercabinet.
This would be great if someone would post a screencapture of their settings so that I could get atleast a good starting point and try to tweak it from there. I checked exchange but it doesn't seem to incluede any presets for the metal pack
Thanks!
EDIT: forgot to say that don't be afraid to share your epic bass tones, I can get pretty decent tones without ampsim but it would be cool to try going that route also sometimes
