Early Christmas gift!

Ho,ho,ho!




Santa Claus is coming early this year pouring sweet stuff out of his sack (...ew!).




This time I share with you my absolutely first published Guitar-Amp combo!!
I call it Planetary Gain because of the names I´ve chosen for both amps in the combo.
The VST has two amps in one to switch between.


The aim was to see if I could make my own guitar amp, and it seems I could make something I find useful and fun, and I´m quite proud of it myself.


Here are some screenshots:









The top-most amp needs little imagination as to what amp it might try to replicate, however there is no one real model of the amp it relates to.



The next one does´nt really attempt to replicate any real amp whatsoever even if there is inspiration in some internal and external parts relating to amps with its first name initial letter "M" and surname initial letter "B". 


All further instructions needed are included in the download.


As this is my first real attempt to model a functioning Guitar-amp (not to mention 2 at the same time), I ask you to bare with me in case you find it lacking in terms of quality (which I hope it will not).




                                                                 
(PS: I found a big BoBoo with this version. I will have to rework it somewhat during the vacation, so a brand new download will surface soon. Please delete your installed version if you have downloaded already)

Guitar Rig settings for a HM2 like result!

Hello again.


I´ve found some time to post again (I am quite bad at visiting this blog regularily).


This time I will post an example of my own endeavors to sculpt a HM2 like sound using Guitar Rig.
I´ve chosen to post screenshots of my setup which I think comes fairly close to the Chainsaw sound we all love or dread.


BTW, please notice the big red Arrows on the pics as the settings they mark out might get overlooked but are quite important to the overall sound.


Most important however is the dual setup if the distortions (the yellow ds-1 and the fuzz), and the EQ-settings in pic 2. The first spike at 88Hz as well as the last spike at approximately 1000Hz to 1200Hz are the most important, but the deep dip at ca 300hz is almost as important since this will emphasize the "nasality" of the sound.


Bear in mind that this setup is quite noisy, so the noise-gate is probably essential (my settings are average at best).


Good luck, and happy riffing!!!
