Hey guys i just got an eleven rack and came across this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=43GNg7cdGts&autoplay=1 i really liked the tone so i tried creating it i asked what they used but they no longer have the eleven rack but i did learn its a vintage treadplate with a classic 30 cab and 121 mic but have no idea where to go from there any advice?

Yeh i got your superpack about a week ago id say really loving it. Slowly working my way through the presets i found some that get me pretty close but something always just seems a little off. By the way i did a review of one of my guitars using some of your presets http://youtu.be/5GwJw8Sp_nk theres the link if youd like to check that out.

My prices start at $150 and go up from there depending what the customer wants. That guitar would probly be in the $400 range maybe a little less. And awesome thanks for the help.

here is a quick preset i dialed up to get that sound:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5622773/Mateusz%20Owczarek.tfx

i will add it to the artist presets folder of the superpack also.

i used an eq after the amp to get rid of some fizz, which he probably did also. feel free to widen the Q to a lower number to get rid of even more fizz if need be. i also dropped off some low end.

i also used an eq before the amp to drop off some lows from my guitar, which has too fat a bottom end. the way to tweak that is to go to your neck pickup and play what he did at the end of the video. listen to how much the distortion drops out and it cleans up. part of that is the lack of low frequencies pushing the amp into distortion. after you tweak your pre-eq to get the distortion right, go back into the amp's bass control and adjust it to get some low end back if need be. it's not the same kind of low end because it doesn't effect the distortion at all.

on my studio monitors the preset sounds real close. the differences in the guitars we use will play a part in the tonal differences we hear.

enjoy.

i changed the HF notch Q to 6.1 and it got a little more focused and less fizzy.

Hey Cyle,

First, welcome to the nuthous, errr, I mean, the "Family Orange" crazy

Great sound you got and great job on those guitars brother!

Now, just so's ya know, don't be surprised if the "Big Guys" don't take kindly to having you around....and definitely be looking for a couple of guy's dressed in black (or maybe Sunburst suits, wearing "tortoise pickguard hats"), come knocking on your door.... I'm just saying ..... grin

Man now you got me questioning my wardrobe choices sunburst suits and pickguard hats sound amazing! Thanks for the welcome and I'm not to worried I don't think one person is going to take to big a piece of there pie, but you never know I am sure they don't appreciate the competition or innovation.
