Over a quarter of a decade and dozens of products later, Tech 21 continues creating gear that delivers authentic, analog sound and powerful controls. and yes, it is supposed to sound like it is coming from the left :)Īnd the only eq-ing i had to do was a hi pass at 90hz and about 10 db rolled off gradually on the high end because I had a GR amp and a separate distortion plugin and each adds a bit of high end.When the original SansAmp “speaker in a box” was released in 1989, it opened a world of rich, warm, tube amp tone that could fit in the palm of your hand. The song is an excerpt from "cry me a river" by julie london, so suck it you haters. Please excuse the performance, I kinda just did it quick. Because I didn't wanna fix the phase, I just panned my stuff around and used the recorded speaker on the right for some haas effect/ stereo slap. I recorded direct with the setup i listed above, then after putting on some effects and stuff in mono, i recorded my speaker with an sm57. Ok guys, i made a recording of this setup, just so people can hear what I'm working with.
Have you tried micing your studio monitors after guitar rig? That way you can get that magical sound of air, gasp, without a guitar amp. It is honestly a better sound than I could ever get in my house with my Fender deville amp and an sm57.Īnd to all you knuckleheads talking about "real speakers moving air in a room".

It went Stratocaster (my baby) -> Alesis 3630 compressor (like $100) -> Art Tube MP ($50 tube preamp from guitar center) -> Focusrite Saffire pro 14 ($200 from guitar center) -> Guitar Rig 4 -> post effects. I have actually had great success recently with this very product. Also if you record other bands, expect some of them to be unsatisfied with the tone, sometimes because they want that extra 5% Guitar Rig can't do, and sometimes they can't tell the difference but are already predisposed against simulated tones. Overall, go for it if you like it, but don't expect it to get you all the way there. My band has also begun using GR5 Live, because it's easier to just carry a laptop and soundcard, and it sounds better than a soundman that doesn't bother to properly mic or mix the band. I love using it for scratch tracks for recording, also behind a real amp to enhance tone (It's nice to take a DI of a the guitar at the time of recording, or record separate DI tracks, and if the original tone is a bit to thin, add in a really chunky GR5 tone at -12db, etc). But it will get you 95% of the way there for 1/3 the price and 1/3 the effort. GR5 does sound great, but it still doesn't compare to micing up a real amp. Guitar Rig is definitely my favorite sim (short of getting an Axe FX, of course). Yes, you won't get a great "classic rock" tone, but really, hasn't this been done before? Why repeat the past? I guess I'd also rather have a great tone than a bunch of okay ones, but this is a false dichotomy, you can have great tone with both options, it completely depends on the sound you are looking for. I guess some people could easily get in the trap of endless options and never moving on, but once you know that is a possible problem, you have the ability to stop yourself and say, "this is close enough to what I was going for." Usually I will layer amps and effects to different busses from the source. I'm not endlessly cycling through different amps in a session, I pretty much know what they all sound like, so I just pick one and adjust it from there. Of course I can never completely achieve my "head tone", GR makes it easier to get close to it. I usually have a tone in my head that completely varies song to song. Personally, I don't think of it as endless options when using GR. I guess if you want the same guitar sound in every song that is cool, it's a signature sound.
It honestly depends on what you are trying to do.
