porcytree Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Lots of different guitar tones in that song mate ( usually several layers of guitars in Tree/Wilson stuff) Used to have a generic "Tree" patch based around a Marshall Plexi model ( set cleanish) with the Classic Distortion sim for the gain - but lost the Patch during a computer issue I had.

Hi porcytree, Thanks for your reply. Do you remember what were the settings for that flanger kind of effect during the verse of the song, I hear that one guitar plays the acoustic strumming and a different guitar strokes some effects. Can you help me with that effect settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcytree Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 hey mate , no sorry!! I honestly can't remember any of the settings at all ( I don't even have the patch any more - lost all my patches and back ups ) as I recall, on the " quiet strummed" guitar part in the verses I generally just backed off the guitar volume and strummed softer ( I have never got a nice tone from the flanger fx on the POD so I just didn't try to recreate that effect). Your question has inspired me to try and recreate that PT " prog/metal" tone and I actually found that the Engl amp with the gain at around 3.5 ( EQ to suit your gear / ears) sounds pretty good - kept cab/mic as default but dialled the RES down to 0 and dialled the bass ( on the amp models tone stack) down to about 2-3. I should add that I have the global EQ on all the time with a Lo Cut set to 120Hz and a High Cut set to 6.5 KHz. ( this kills some of the low end flubbines and high end fizz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi_strings Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thank you for so much information. I will try to create the patch based on your inputs. I am actually looking for a good patch which I can use for Blackest Eyes, Killing in the Name, Even Flow ... but not able to get a good one to play the riffs as well... Let me see what comes out from the settings you just mentioned. Will get back to you soon. Thanks a lot :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcytree Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hey Adi Glad to have given you a little help ( sorry I couldn't be more helpful ) Many times I simply stumble across tones that, to my ears, sound close to the sound I'm chasing. I'm sure that if I A/B'd the tones with the originals the would be poles apart but I have learned to accept that if a tone sounds good ( or close) then that's OK - I don't get too hung up on getting exactly the same. ( I ain't got the gear, the guitars or the "chops"). Have fun tweaking and playing - that's the most important thing. Good luck mate.
