Remember everyone, this is a video based on HIS preferred tone. Not so much what waves is and isn't capable of. If you disagree with his tone, make your own. Nice video man.

I like really organic tones with a little fuzz or crunch. The best I've gotten was by putting the Fuzz Pedal at it's lowest Distortion, then the Tone Pedal, then the "Sweet" Amp, and then Axpress to compress it and give it a punch. I realized that if I put the compressor at the beginning (the way you would on a physical pedalboard) then it kills the dynamics and makes the distortion/crunch sound fake. But putting it at the end allowed it to feel more real. Then to top it off, the thing that made ALL the difference, was throwing the Waves J37 tape plugin after it to add some really nice, analog-y saturation. And That tape plugin REALLY did the trick because it distorts dynamics in a much more realistic way than GTR. My problem with GTR is that... 1. The Amps are just weak. The Drive adds distortion. But even then, the amps don't really sound alive. You kinda need to use Axpress on everything to make up for it. I'd like the amp simulation just to sound a little thicker.. But perhaps I'm thinking too much like a guitarist.. This may be a decided feature so that a Mixer can have more control over the compression and dynamics of a guitar in a mix. 2. Getting a subtle, dynamic crunch response is difficult. Distortion is either present or not. You can control how present it is, but it doesn't really respond to your playing in a realistic way when you just want a little bit of crunch. I'm a blues player, so this is important. Waves J37 is way better at dynamics.. So when I use that in combination with GTR, it seems to do the trick. I do look forward to whenever they update GTR. It's been a while and Amp-sim technology has advanced. And I hope they make some Amp models that realistically mimic real amps - or are at least labeled in such a way that you know what they are trying to imitate. Fender, Vox, and Marshall are like the golden 3 you gotta nail.

Great bang for your buck. In my opinion BEST guitar plugin out there. It doesn't get the spotlight other guitar plugins get, strangely, and I honestly feel it blows them all away. They all sound cheesey, thin and fake. I have released 4 albums with recorded Marshalls and Orange amps that were reviewed by Guitar Player magazine who praised my tones and I would honestly drop keeper tracks with this plugin and do plan to do so. NO I do not work for waves, I just have to commend WAVES on a job well done. Amazing what you can do nowadays.

Sounds good - my only question is, and hopefully someone can answer: Before you even bring up the GTR3 plugins, is it better to go guitar direct , through a real amp, or? See these videos only give you the sound of the plugin, but not what they use to drive the guitar sound INTO the plugin before the computer is even used. Anyone have an answer? I try to go direct into my interface with my guitar, but the GTR3 sounds like total crap. So i'm thinking these guys are probably using real amps and then just using the GTR3 to add onto that. Anyway, any responses are appreciated. Thanks
@Robdust8 жыл бұрын
+Rafael Nunez You are doing it right. Go into your interface preamp. A clean signal is what you need NOT a guitar amp in the front. Understand, you are going to have to take sometime and mess with it. Initially I thought the same, didn't sound that great, but after taking time, different cabinet and microphone combos I got a sound that I am actually considering going to album with. My last album was written up in GUITAR MAGAZINE and they praised my tone which was recorded with a Orange amp, but I've really been diggin my latest tones while tracking with GTR. Problem with most plugins for guitar is that you have to take your guitar, pickups and playing into consideration they all effect your sound. Out of the box I've never heard one plugin that worked for me. Best guitar plugin I've heard yet in my opinion. Hope this helps!

So, you run this plugin as an Aux Fx?? And not a insert..
@Hexspa5 жыл бұрын
Effectively, it is an insert. His chain is GUITAR->INTERFACE->GTR IN (track)->BUS 3->MASTER OUT. The 'GTR In' track's output is totally routed to 'Bus 3' and not via a send. Engineers do this to control the level being fed into the plugin using a fader without adjusting the gain anywhere else. It's common for mixers to route a mix to a 'Pre Master' which, in turn, feeds the main master. This way you can lower, or increase, the way the mix hits compressors on the main mix buss. You know how everything gets louder as you go... In other words, while this is indeed an auxiliary routing, it's a serial routing and not a parallel one. Check 0:33 of the video to confirm and notice how his 'Guitar In' track is pulled down slightly relative to the 'Bus 3' one on which this plugin is instantiated.

I would suggest mr. Bill Leverty is abusing distortion here. Considering there are two amps, together with the distortion in the OD-pedal... I'm convinced it would sond way better if he, say, backed down the gain on the pedal to just above zero.
