So many in fact, that when luthiers talk about their wood selection I cringe, because it's a sure sign that they are trying to rip you off, or they are profoundly ignorant. I have played guitars made out of many different woods and other materials. The Wood does not! What evidence do you have, other than marketing BS, were you a catalog junkie? I know where you acquired the myth, so I do understand. Your pick, your bridge, your frets, your nut, your fingers, and your pickups affect tone. The builders just add a little component here and there or take away a few (like modders mostly do) to make them sound just a little bit (or hugh depending on the listener of course) different.Ĭlick to expand.You are ignorant, and influenced by advertising BS. Nowadays more and more move over to IR (thankfully as i havent heard a convincing modeling cab yet to this day) but even than you tons of option for you sonic experience 4x12 2x12 1x12 10" tons of mics and combination of mics etc etc.Īs for amps there are only about 7 "types" or should i say schematics? of amps and they have been reproduced in 1000,s of new costumes over the years. What really made them sound different is their choice of cab emulation and how they approach that topic.
That is if it can be turned off and even if it cant they still sound pretty similar With that said i also say that most ampsims sound very similar if you play them thrue the same IR and also turn OFF all crap like delay, exciter, filters and other stuff that vendors have built in by default. I say you can get good tons out almost everything if you just try.
Kind of like the ones who search for the perfect Daw and never finds it beacuse they dont take the time to really LEARN how to use it. To hear it you need to play them unplugged as its all about density in the woods and the microphone in the guitar is there to HELP to amplify that tone period!!Īfter reading your post i see that you are the type of guy that fire it up an ampsim play a few notes and if it DONT look good on screen you have already made up your mind a little bit and if the FIRST tone you get dont suite's your needs you have made up your mind a little bit more etc etc. I am going to try Blue Cat's Destructor, any opinions?Ĭlick to expand.Tonewood exists if you dont hear difference between different kinds of wood in a guitar you are tonedeaf This is one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard. I will also give Hotone V-stomp a try, any Thanks for sharing the settings. I am going to try Blue Cat's Destructor/Axiom, any opinions? I am going to try the other Toneforge Amps also, any opinions? I'll have to try POD Farm anyone do a versus, is there a difference in quality? I'm sure it sounds great once you dig in, but my first impression is not good, I only played with about ten of the built in presets. The sliders instead of knobs are probably better for touch screens.
The interface is kind of ugly, but if you have the hardware it probably translates well. Well anyway I tried Helix, so far not that impressed. I was trying effects through it, and probably not the best combos. I realize misha is meant to be used alone. Are there any combinations of effects and amp sims that you guys recommend. I was building rigs with Blue Cat's Patchwork so I could try all the amp sims and pedal sims that are not stand alone. I was trying it with other simulations and I got frustrated because it was not working out the way I hoped. Now, let me just say that I am going to spend more time with the Misha amp. It's a part of paying your dues to navigate the marketing BS. Artists endorse equipment that pays them, not that they necessarily love, and rightly so. Palmer speaker simulators were very popular.
Please share any other examples that you are aware of. Trent Reznor is also noted for his use of Guitar Rig, again, unpaid endorsement. I Guarantee you Guitar Rig did not pay him. Stephen Carpenter of the Deftones used Guitar Rig in his Live rig in 2010, Here's a link, Axe-FX had bought him out by 2013 as they did many touring pros in that time, it's called marketing 101. You are unaware of it because musicians are paid to use equipment Live, that they don't record with.
Tons of albums are and were recorded with the ampsims that you denigrate. Click to expand.This is one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard.
