How do you tweek your tone? oo-err...

[Bg]

Will you run a lead from your usb mixer to your rig?

Good idea but I always find what sounds good changes when with a band.

I'll just run a dry sound in from the Pod, it has about 7 usb in's including straight through, best part about that is I can listen to a stupidly hi-gain tone while recording dry

I've AB'd my guitar tone with a recorded reamping and it doesn't work (for me anyway). You should see if you can hear any difference between the two and if you can't then give it a go

I actually do this all the time anyway when recording, I always do a dry signal then mess around with it using either pod farm or guitar rig or similar, it works for me. What I hadn't considered was actually physically reamping it...

Just stop buying new gear.... Yeah Right.

Haha, like thats going to happen NGD this thurs

I've wanted to do the same kinda thing for testing pedals BG, but I wonder about the signal strength... is it the same as what could out a guitar jack? will the dynamics of attack.digging in be portrayed effectively?

Well I'm hoping so, as I know from reamping via the pod certainly works, don't think I'll lose dynamics or anything with decent cables? If I can kick the missus out of the house tomorrow I'll give it a shot... due to recording dry a lot anyway - all I need to do is run the cables and mic the amp

If bending over is the problem, try playing laying down or sit the effects on top of something.

Not so much the bending over, but remembering the sound in between fiddling with me knobs

Oh and I usually guess in a band situation. Unless you're out front or listening back to a recording, how do you know how you sit in the mix anyway?

Well if ya miced up the sound man will tweak ya anyway,but I find my stage sound gets buried if my amp is set how I like it played alone. I need more treble when with band... I wonder alot if my hearing is shot.

Aye?

It works on my gear fine. Record guitar tract to Cubase. Set output routing to left. Run left monitor out jack like it's your guitar lead (into pedal board for me)

No difference between recording and playing to my ears.... though I mentioned before the might be a little numb.

well I know my hearings shot soundman? where do I get one of those? can I get one at the warehouse, does he need paying?

well once you have the 'test' tracks, mind sending me a couple? I'd like to chuck them on an mp3 player and bang that into a pedal to test.. or will that not work?

I don't see why not - running from mp3 to pedal to amp....

Trying it at missus friendly volume and it seems to work pretty well... just need to mic up the amp and record the reamped track now!

i think you're doing it wrong. it goes something like this

Volume 10
Gain 10

missus... sorry love i cant hear you??

[crowbgood1]

Well I tweaked and twiddled..fiddled and turned... and it all ended up pretty much how I had it Maybe I should take all the nobs off..that will save me having to worry about it

[Bg]

well I've got my tube zone setup pretty nifty now I can't set up to re-record the affected tone without a shitload of feedback though Need to spend a bit more time on the routing....

[stark]

What I find a pain in the arse is bending over to play around with the tone on the pedal, or the gain, or etc... then playing the same thing over, by this time I've forgotten what it was it sounded like before that.

I just sit down with a low table in front of me and put the pedal on that. Luxury.

So... I had a thought, I've got all the gear here I need to reamp - I can record decent uneffected clean tracks, loop it back out through my pedalboard and into my amp, then fiddle with settings to my hearts content.

Might be OK to get you to a starting point, but I can't see how this would give you 100% authentic results. There'd be no pup/pedal/amp reaction happening, and you can't adjust guitar output and pick atackak.

Well that has to come in stage 2 of the tweaking

[stark]

The easy way, of course, to overcome this "problem", would be to get really drunk. Or play really loud. Or Both

Works for me, anyway.

yeah perhaps I'm making it more complex than it needs to be
