this is what i have so far
boomp3 dot com/listen/byyyge7en_6/behind-enemy-lines
here's a list of what im doing to make it less complicated
1. guitar is an epiphone les paul my dad bought at a pawnshop for around $300 like 4 years ago. the strings i have on it now are ok, but i've had better.im using the bridge pickup
2. im plugging this in to a firepod (fp10 firmware) with the gain at about half way up. im using a crappy cable, but it's all i have right now.
3. on the logic pro 8 track, i have amplitube metal and an eq with the cutoff at 140 hz. the guitar track is at around 12db and i have a yamaha final mix on the master channel
4. on amplitube im using a 150 watt tube amp with the gain half way up, a 4x12 cab with a dynamic microphone on axis at a close distance, and a pitch shifter on the rack to pan everything.
i keep listening to commercial cds like linkin park (because that's the kind of guitar sound im trying to get) and the first thing i notice is that the guitar sound a lot warmer and a lot clearer then when im getting.
i think my main problem is the guitar i am using and maybe i could fix this by getting it gibson humbuckers, using a better cable, and better strings.
but maybe the problem was amplitube. maybe im doing something wrong, or i just need a real tube amp with a real cab.
any ideas???
thanks in advance
