Hey Trond, I've listened to a good bit of your work and I have to say I really love the tones you are getting. I recently got a dual resistafier from R3FX (mostly because of your audio sample on Jim's site) and have been fiddling around with it for a while now. I haven't been able to get the tone you've been getting on tracks like Shun and the audio sample you gave Jim. Any idea what settings you were using? I have the Cab Sim from r3fx too, and I know you were using that. Any post recording processing for your sound demo? I know for Shun you've got some reverb and delay and probably compression going on. Just trying to get the most out of the Dual Resistafier and I think you've got it perfect. Thanks! -Dan Hia The shun tracks are really processed by eq's and similar in Cubase, so they ended up not sounding like the DR at all.. but the audiosample i made is nothing but the DR and the cabsim. No processing or additional effects, well, maybe slight delay on the lead-tracks, but nothing that will change the tone itself. If i recall right, i had the gain on max, presence on full, treble on about.. 8, mid on about 3 or 5 and bass 5 or 6. Did you get the cabsimulator with all 3 modes? V1, V2 and Modern? If so, then the V2 will give you the best "metal" sound. It has a nice mid-scooped ring to it. Modern will work great too, but you might have to lower the mid on the DR to get something similar. Another cruicial thing is the pickups on the guitar. I've had some really different results with using the same settings on a guitar with EMG's and a Les Paul with passive pickups. The DR is very EMG friendly and enhances all the frequencies quite nicely. It works well on passives too offcourse, but havent done full testing on that part yet. What is your setup? Do you connect the DR/cabsim to a soundcard or a cabinet? And could you get a sample recorded of your dr/cabsim?

Ah, must have put new names on the modes. V2 is a blend, so i guess blend is a terrific name
The invaders should play quite nice on the DR. The notes for Shun are almost correct! But there's a much more efficient way to play this. Here's how i do it: |-------------2h3-|---------5/7---|------------------|-------------------| |---------5-------|-------------8-|-----------5----7-|-----------8p7-----| |---4-5-----------|-0-4-7-0-------|------------------|-----4/7-------9---| |-2-----2---2-----|---------------|-----4/7-0---0----|---------0-------0-| |-----------------|---------------|-3h5--------------|-3h5---------------| |-----------------|---------------|------------------|-------------------| Do you need the tab for any of the other parts? Would be happy to type them down -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

Also I was wondering what sorts of things you do with Cubase to process your lead tone the way you do. (once again the lead in the intro of Shun)
Thanks! -Dan |

(once again the lead in the intro of Shun) Thanks! -Dan Usually i dont do that much to the guitartracks except for the basic built-in delay in Cubase. I think it's perfect and the easiest to control delay there is. Most people seems to ignore it all together and use much more expensive delays instead. Other than that, i use a vst called T-Racks on all guitar-tracks at once through the main mixer. It's got a compressor/limiter, EQ and stereoenhancer in the same tool, so you save some machine-resources on that. But, i think i also used the BBE Sonic Maximizer on the Shun-lead.. cant remember but i switch that one on sometimes. The BBE doesnt really alter the tone though, but you do hear a difference in the high and low frequencies. Hope this helps Oh, and I'm working on writing all of shun to a GP-file, so thats why the delay for the tab This post has been edited by Trond Vold: Mar 31 2010, 12:46 AM -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

Thanks Trond.
Keep me posted about the Guitar Pro file. I'd love to take a look. -Dan |

Any updates Trond?
I'm really excited to keep working on this one and I have the basic lead riff down pretty well. Thanks! -Dan |
