OK, here's a tone. Still has that bit of harshness to it, but its not overly dark now. This is with a slight US bias on the ISF. Bass 10 O'Clock Mid 10 O'Clock Treb 2 O'Clock Preamp Vol 3 O'Clock Gain 9 O'Clock Master 12 O'Clock This has the OCD level on full and gain on zero. I actually...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT9LUiWXkyo To be fair, even though some of the music is shit, I agree with the sentiment. Its basically an old metal record producer losing his shit over the use of auto-tune and other correction techniques in modern music.

Looking at the price of cabinets - they're expensive. However, I can buy a V30 for 80 quid. Was thinking of just swapping it out in my Blackstar Combo. I'm not a total pleb - I can do a bit of soldering etc and am generally pretty good at putting things together and taking them apart. Is the...

Afternoon gents, I don't normally post in this part of the forum but here I go. I don't have access or the space to get a proper pair of monitors - my recording gear is all connected to my stereo and TV in my living room. I do all my mixing/monitoring through headphones, then occasionally...

Yeah, its quite rare that I use any of the others in songs - I just use them for experiments really - go "Oh, that sounds interesting" then don't use it again. Aeolian isn't quite minor pentatonic - its also got the minor 6th in there. Check this out - see if you can get your head around it...

I just won a bunch of picks in a competition. They're from Iron Age Guitar Accessories. They're bone, horn, ebony and coconut shell. All supposed to be massively hard wearing - I've never played with picks like this before. Should be interesting. They certainly look cool, they're shaped like...

OK, here's some raw tones, no mixing, no multi tracking. There's a few of them but I'd appreciate your help to get me heading in the right direction. First my amps knobs aren't numbered but run from about 7 O'Clock to 5 O'Clock. On all clips the Gain is at 9 O'Clock (that's lowish) but the...

True. Personally, I'm quite partial to a large areola. What I meant was, 'cos I wasn't aware how big the dust cap was I was probably micing partially, if not completely inside it. This clip is on the edge of the actual dust cap - just the chorus rhythm re-done. Its still a little harsh but a...

Been struggling with the lead work to one of my tracks for a while, all sounded predictable and shit. I don't normally mess about with loads of effects but I have this morning... I also watched a thing last night where someone was explaining signature licks from Steve Vai and Randy Rhodes...

Hope you're recovering Bob, sounds like agony. Need to get rid of this attachment somehow - its the wrong one! OK, don't know if this is working right - but hopefully Grunge tone with solo with ease your aching kidneys, mate.

Seeing as we're just posting our favourite amatuer guitar-****: I absolutely love this thing - I'm playing better than I have in years but I also know so much more about how to play well now.

Chappers and Lee review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOadVo-dTPk They look like they've got rid of all the hated 2015 stuff and gone back to making recognisable Les Pauls.

Not exactly a complex one. My sister is gonna get me a pedal for Christmas. I'm after a boost, want something to turned a decently crunched amp into something more metal - was always gonna get a TubeScreamer but Miner/Greg have me in the mood for an SD-1. Do both these pedals tend to work well...

Here's a new tone - quite a long way outta my normal style. Started fiddling and it reminded me a bit of Little Wing and a bit of Yellow Ledbetter. Not sure where I am going with it yet. Not sure whether I should totally remove the Leslie effect and go for a totally clean tone or whether I...

Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH This is actually a "Les Paul style" guitar with the shape and dimensions of a Fender Telecaster. The body and set-in neck are mahogany with a sligthly arched flamed maple top (FMT) just like a Les Paul. The dimensions are more like a Fender with...

And, while I'm at it, I actually had my first every proper guitar lesson a couple of days ago (oddly, off the rhythm guitarist from the band I've been playing in - the only time I've met him outside of a rehersal or a gig). He taught me how to actually apply all this modal shit I was learning...

Just re-tracked one of my older songs in prep for a mate of mine to stick live drums on. I'm re-tracking a lot of stuff at the moment. This was originally recorded with a really hi-gain sim. I've now used as little gain as I think I can get away with and recorded it with my new guitar thought...

The EQ was roughly where left it after chatting to uncle bob about my previous tone last week. You can see I've already got a fair bit of mid/high in there.

Got LAME working, here's an MP3. Nothing added in the DAW - hey, I've not even mixed it and the bassline sounds like a bag of dicks! Not got the amp as loud as I would like as I'm in my weekday digs:
