There is some serious knowledge in this video. Thanks.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad you think so! Thanks!

[@BrianCharles8682]

This sounds huge. Man, I really dig the variety of amps and pedals you use to get such a full tone.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks a ton!

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

I just love those harmonised licks in the demo track

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear!

That song was so GOOD! Probably my favorite of your opening songs to your videos. I have learned more from Euge and his videos that anyone else

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Glad to hear!

The entire vid (including your backwards cap) is directly from the 80's....I am surprised the picture didn't go black and white with VHS flickering....great as always....\m/

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

Love the song and recording, swedish metal sound for days! The toughest part in mixing is to learn what to listen to, and what is fatiguing your ears and clouding a mix. Thanks for those tips.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

Many thanks!

I like the sound of this 5150/JCM 800 blend, sounds close to 90's In Flames. I watched your Clayman tone video and am trying to get close using plugins. It's not easy (duh!) - phase issues blending multiple amp sims, incorporating the HM-2 plugin, not to mention finding ENGL/Fredman technique IR's. But I am getting immediate good results replicating the setup in this video with the ML Sound 800 and STL Josh Middleton 5150 plugins. Thank you for teaching so thoroughly I am getting a sound I like out of my monitors again. Your a great songwriter too which is the most impressive thing. THANK YOU 🤘

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

this is why amp modelers are great as let you easily blend multiple amps and cabs and FX chain together and record easier than bunch of tube amps.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

most excellent Euge! I find less gain is key and to use a clean OD boost in front of most amps. My Mesa Mark V with the EQ set correctly and clean boost from SD-1 and some guitars like my ESP with EMG pickups get me perfect Metallica thrash metal tones. I do like new amps like the Revv Generator and ENGL Fireball that require no boost and have noise gate built in.

[@brutalieri]

Very useful for home recording. Thanks! 😎

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@Mar33322]

Great video . Really glad that you for the most part always have a block letter and the bad-boy in the mix. With all the new amps and other bullshit thats out there I still think those amps sound the best 👍

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah I’ve used those amps since 90s and ”if it works don’t fuck with it” 😎.

[@henrikneesgaard1764]

Can’t be a better way to spend a friday night.. 😁👍. Thanks Euge 😀👍

[@mikehunt576]

would be great if we could download a session, I own most of those plugins and its a good way to get others to try them out too :)😏

[@AtoragoN1]

Hi Euge, I am seeing you are using the ssl E Brown channel strip plugin. I was considering buying one of those, but the waves version. Would you suggest the E serie (which can be switched between the black version and the brown type of eq) or the G version? and why? Thank you!

[@MoreMeRecording]

Re the Royer, the backside of the mic is actually a little brighter than the front from what I recall when the studio I worked in had one.

[@LoeL666]

Damn another banger of a song and video Euge! Your videos are really motivating, inspiring and so damn informative. Really helps to get a good understanding of what it means to get a good tone out of the gear we use (and most of all our fingers ofc :P) You deserve atleast 1M subs with all the free information you provide!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh thanks! Really glad to hear!

[@dominikpohli2381]

the g12h 75 creamback is very good its great for 70s hard rock tone and some sort of 80s metal

[@newrockorder]

If it sounds good, it is good 🤘🏻

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yes 🤟.

[@SamiLeppikangas]

“Uh Yeah! This is almost a little bit like.. Hey C’mon! But ya know, since it's possible, why not? So, that's the.. kind of the guitars.” 💯😎☝Perfectly said, my friend.

This is so great man 🤘 Thanks! How much time do you spend on editing?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! On this one? A few hours.

[@attetanskanen7001]

Se on ihan tosi, että kaiuttimet on tärkeimmässä osassa, kun ajatellaan tonea. Sieltähän se ääni tulee. Ja kaikki muu siellä välissä. Oon tullu johtopäätökseen, että vahvistin ja kajarit ratkasee lopulta. Edes kitaran mikit tai tonewood ei vaikuta, kun on vähän gainia ja särinää, puhtaana kylläkin huomaa eron. Hyvä video ja tästä oli paljon apua kiitos! 😎 Oon hommaamassa ekaa putkivahvaria ikinä ja se on marshall sc20h. Siihen sit tökätä vaimennin niin poliisit ei eksy ovelle. 😀

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Nasta kuulla Atte! Näin on.

[@KaddysJamKave]

You never say "And in this WIDEO" anymore.... I miss that haha :D

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I don’t? 😎

[@andrewprotsenko]

Awesome video, man, as usual! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and experience! And now I'm curious about your approach to mixing and recording quad guitars. Are you use different amp/sound for each pair (L + R), or both left guitars for instance with Marshall and both right with 5150? And how to pan quad guitars to avoid mess?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Whatever works the best in any given situation 😎👌. With Cyhra’s latest album ’The Vertigo Trigger’ I recorded one JCM800 and one 5150 per side and on the other side the JCM was the main / louder and on the other the 5150.

[@andrewprotsenko]

Hi Euge, thanks for making this video. It was really helpful. Can you please tell me the what string gauge you used. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

Heey Euge, I've got a question for you. What dB level do you aim for on the input of the DAW? Keep it up my man! Cheers

[@EugeValovirta230V]

As loud as possible without getting red lights. What’s that in dBs? No idea. Just that ”if it sounds good it’s good”. Thanks! I will 😎🤟.

[@zezohc]

NIce Euge!!! The Song name?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Just something I wrote quickly for the vid so we can call it just ”The Heavy Guitar Tones Song” for now 😎.

[@dominikpohli2381]

is the fredman techinik the one that used on the in flames albums

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Probably one of them (miking techniques) at least on some albums. But I wasn’t there so…🤷‍♂️😎.

[@matt926uk1]

I think good tone starts with the pickup height. Even 0.4mm makes all the difference.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Hands.
