How can I make my tone less fizzy? I'm using a VGS Soulmaster 7 with the shitty stock pickups and a HD400 which isn't the best setup on the planet and I'm a crappy guitarist, but there's got to be some way of cleaning this up a bit. Here's a screenshot if that helps.

You could start by turning the guitars way down. You can barely hear the drums. In a proper mix it won't seem nearly as bad. Your pretty limited on options with the hd400, but if your able to do some post processing, use a high pass filter and cut everything from around 9-10,000 and up. Also try a small cut at 5000hz.

Oh, and your also probably using way too much gain. Turn it down and you'll notice a big difference.

Success!!! I know few people give a hoot but im going to post anyway....

The pod hd sounded great last night at the gig. With the bass backed off to about 10 oclock on the recto model, running though the 50/50 power amp, i was clear and defined all night! Im in love with this rig. One button patch changes, every tone i need and all of them sound great, killer tube power, minimal gear hauling, quick setup. Gonna stick with this awhile.

Absolute godsend for gigging, it's so sensitive that a small tweak of one parameter, or even swapping FX positions, can transform the whole thing. I go straight into the PA, sounds big, but sits well in the mix, awesome.

That particular clip was recorded with my Samick Greg Bennett Rockwell, cheap little explorer copy with duncan designed pickups.

Edit: Forgot to mention, it's made of mahogany

i finally figured out a way to use my wifes camera for videos. it was her idea to stick a little mirror behind the screen so it could see what was on it. worked perfectly! and now i have a video that you can actually see what im doing, so the sound quality matches the video quality lol

Edit: apparently its not as good as the original video file was. i only have windows video maker though, so it compresses the shit out of it. anyone know of a better (free) video editor?

Thy Art is Murder tone match?...

In the meantime, I have been digging on the tone in this video that a recent forum member posted (you can see the thread under the Sevenstring guitar section of the forum).



It is a Krank Revolution profile on the Kemper....but to me it just sounds like the stereotypical "Killswitch Engage" or "In This Moment" type of tone....still digging it sooo much though.
