As some of you probably know, I have recently gotten into the home recording thing. One of the fascinating aspects of it all has been the option of doing everything in the box. Frankly I'm amazed how good it's gotten, especially when one takes the time to really dial in a sound. I'm not a 'modern' metal guy and my particular focus has been lower gain to 70s hard rock tone as well as clean tones. Not the super compressed and scooped ultra clean neo-soul type. That seems to be pretty easy to get. The 'just a hint of drive' fat clean that you hear in jazz, soul, country and classic funk playing. Getting that tone with an amp is easy for me as I've been micing amps since the 80s. Replicating ITB has proved a bit more challenging but I think I'm getting there, especially within a recorded context.
Here's a track I did with two guitar parts. One is a mic'd amp and the other is an amp sim. I was looking to get two different guitar sounds and approaches so I didn't use the same guitar, amp/amp sim or playing style. I even used a different guitar pick. I'd be curious if you can tell which is 'real' and which is ITB and if you can, then why or what gives it away. https://soundcloud.com/klasaine/funk-59 https://soundcloud.com/klasaine/funk-59 This post has been edited by klasaine: Sep 12 2020, 05:20 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Your ears are well tuned!
The right side, the first guitar is a Jazz box into a Fender tweed amp sim. The left side, guitar two, is my Strat into a real Fender amp mic'd and with an OD pedal. *I think they both sound pretty decent though. Scary how good it's all gotten.
