Other than that it was the typical chain, od-comp-gate. The trick is that I spent crazy amounts of time with the EQ's so I can get my tone closer to his.

Well, in my opinion it is definitely the hardest, indeed. This kind of music is really unique and "demanding". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tboneous Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I love this topic! It's great to hear what people can do with this stuff. And as much as I love this topic, I always end up feeling a bit hesitant to share because the vast majority of tones people share are Hi Gain 7 & 8 string "ka-chugga" stuff. And I have a hard enough time with 6 strings! And I don't do much Ka-Chugga. But if we are speaking only of our favorite tones created with the Pod, I got a couple that I like. I took out vocals and tried to boost the guitar parts so they are more prominent. That process screws up the tone but I think you'll get the idea. Both songs are done with a JTV-69 All of the acoustic and sitar stuff is JTV as well. Song 1 Song 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice song you have there, the first link, called finish-2. Original? Here's a heavily processed clean tone that I find myself reusing in several of my songs, with minor tweaks each time. This one, Ekpyrosis, uses this tone the most prevalently, along with a bass and drum track. Very simple and short. The attached patch should work on other pods besides an hd500x.

Never heard of King Crimson before, so I took a quick listen. Wasn't expecting something so old, but I found some of their melodies and composition very interesting.

Tboneous Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 That's a nice song you have there, the first link, called finish-2. Original? Original. At this point it is a song idea. Haven't finished it yet which is why it's called Finish-2. Actually the full name of the song is "Finish What You Started A$$ Wipe!" It's a personal issue that I have. I like the tones and I wanted a track that really used the Variax. Now on to the meat of this post....THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!! Very Cool! Excellent! Excellent Excellent contribution my man! No offense to the Ka-Chugga Djent Djent crowd, but it is refreshing to hear something other than that for a change. Do you do that live? Do I detect a whammy pedal or is that strictly whammy bar? Good Job! Let's keep 'em coming people! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Job! Let's keep 'em coming people! Glad to share. I like the Djent stuff in very small doses. More than that and it quickly becomes monotonous. I do like Djent tones though. Used to perform live in a cover band when younger, but it was always a horrible disaster. No stage presence. So, no, that's studio work. No whammy pedal, but there's some mild use of the whammy bar in a couple of spots. One of my other songs, Prime Vinculum, uses a pitch glide, but I tied to mix to the exp pedal instead of the pitch, to give some note a sort of blooming type effect. This patch will only work on a hd500x or pro x. PrimeVinculum.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the board mix is better. The camera microphone is not doing your tone any justice at all! The recording robbed you of any body to the tone. Any chance you have the board mix ?

billlorentzen Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I don't know that this is my best tone ever, but it's one I use a lot. It's a "super strat with EMGs on neck p-up into Blue Comp, Divided by 13, tube comp, delay and verb. The rhythm sound is parameters dialed back for clean and the lead is gains up a bit, probably with extra verb and delay, all controlled with the pedal. This is on the looper at max length, one pass for rhythm and one for lead (so don't judge my sloppy playing!) https://soundcloud.com/billlorentzen/patch-sample-pod-hd-divided-by-13 This one below is my most used patch. Same amp and rhythm sound as other patch, but this one is on the middle p-up and has a Tube Screamer instead of the Blue comp up front. Again this is all controlled by the pedal, so I can go from clean rhythm to full lead by just rocking the pedal. I showed a little more of my go-to basic clean rhythm sound here. https://soundcloud.com/billlorentzen/patch-sample-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can definitely hear the Black Sabbath influence in both tone and writing. And the tone is quite good. I'd imagine there's vocals throughout?

I noticed you mentioned a tube comp, blue comp and a screamer. Where in the chain are you placing your comps? First patch uses just one path, with The Blue Comp first then amp, then the mixer, followed by the Tube Comp. Second patch uses dual paths (controlled by a pan pedal up front), one with a Blue Comp and the other with the Screamer, then the mixer, then amp, then Tube Comp. Probably just from studio habit, I tend to place comps as I would in the real world; although you could do it, I doubt anyone carries an LA2A (the tube comp) in their guitar rack, so I put it in the "mix" section of the Pod, with the delay and verb and that kind of stuff. Using multiple comps in series is a studio trick to avoid pumping (audible compression drop and then surge back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ok, I'll byte ..

joel_brown Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 No vocals yet. The mp3 I did is a quick rough mix so everyone can learn the song and the singer can develop the vocals. I play all the parts then hand it out to everyone so they can learn them and add their own influences. There's is no EQ on the guitar except for a small amount of low end roll off due to mic boominess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billlorentzen Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Why amp after mixer? I've seen that and don't understand the difference. Due to the routing scheme, when you break into 2 paths, the paths have to go straight into the mixer. If I had enough processing headroom or a 500X, I could probably use 2 amps, one for each path, but it works fine with one amp after the mixer.

billlorentzen Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Even though there are 2 paths, the amp can still be in front of the mixer. I'd love to know how you do that? Im talking about using a single amp, not an amp on each path. I know I could do that, but I don't have the headroom with all the fx I need.
