True! Let's fly this bitch into some skyscrapers!

So Rami, I think you get a unique guitar sound. What guitar/amp/mic do you use?
 
It depends. The basic sound comes from a Strat going into a Peavey Studio Pro 50, miced with a 57. But I use impulses often. Mostly a "Marshall Plex-something"i impulse and a "Marshall J-something". I also have some nice Mesa Boogie impulses. Those are for distorted guitar. For clean, I usually just use the mic-ed sound of my Peavey, it has a nice clean sound.

I also like to play with the tone control on my guitar. Like for this tune, for the solos I have the tone turned right off, to get that "throaty" sound.

I wish I had a Marshall or something that would give me a distortion that I like right out of the amp. But for now, the impulses are the next best thing.
 
Damn! A Peavey SP 50! Man, I haven't seen one of those in a long time. I used to have it's brother - the Basic 50. Cool little bass amp.

So do those impulses actually distort your tone, or are they like cab impulses?

They're mostly cab impulses. I record distorted out of the Peavey if it's a distorted part that I want, and then use the impulses to change the tone and color, etc....
 
Yeah that's cool. I like impulses. They're all I use for reverb now. I have a bunch of cab impulse files, but I've never used them. I'm already miking a big cab. You wanna try em out?

Whatever you're doing, your guitars pretty much always sound good. Plucky with a hint of raunch. Never ugly or fizzy. Like a good hooker. :D

Sure why not. There's a good chance I have them already. I have a shitload. But I'm always looking for more. :cool:

Lol!. Cool. thanx. I don't know if you remember, but my guitar sound was the worst when I first starting posting here. I was doing it all wrong until I got help from you and someone else that I can't remember. But it took me a long time to even recognize a good or bad guitar sound.
 
Haha cool. I think guitar tone is strange thing. It's so subjective, no one agrees on what sounds perfect, but most people can agree when a tone sounds bad. I recently bought an amp that sounded cool as shit when I played it alone, but recorded in my songs it's clearly not right for me. It's not wowing me in the context of one of my dumb songs. It sounds good, but it's not my style or tone. It's just one of those things. That's why I bought a Marshall.
