How to Get a Crushing Metal Tone on ANY Guitar Modeller!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Forgot to say if any current gen Headrush users are feeling lazy this rig can be downloaded for free from my HR Cloud account 😅

[@Professional.Bro.777]

That noise gate before the amp does so much for the tone in my opinion

[@nicoa566]

Hi, got me a Headrush Prime because I'm worth it, struggling to get a decent metal tone on my own with it since I'm such a newbie, and honestly, after a few months I was starting to give up, your video is pretty helpful, definitely a good starting point to tweek things in order to get my dream tone. THANK YOU.

@@sadiqbasim1380 I wasn't planning to sell it but I needed the funds for an upcoming video recreating the exact Guitar Tone from Fear Factory's "Linchpin". I've managed to buy one of the exact Line 6 Amp Heads they used on the Record! Exciting!

@@sadiqbasim1380 Thank you my friend all the best from the UK!

Love your no bullshit approach. So many creators from other channels just wanna sit there and complain and shit on stock presets and amp models as if it's sacrelige to use them. Yet here you are, easily getting a great heavy tone out of one. Nicely done

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thank you my friend!

[@GothicXlightning]

good tone Amigo 7:19 & Now Beyond Perfected DELAY is my most dearest effect ever created of all Mr Doommetalord here approves

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks man my go-to setup is a split signal with 300ms left and 500ms right but I wanted to keep this chain simple enough for any modeller 👌

[@GothicXlightning]

is all beautiful my brother keep always been a true Engineering soldier of true music we have to always resist and defeat the whole plague of the mainstream who are the true enemies of our Music the music the give us back a true soul of our own bless you brother glad i did subbed you so months ago

[@WarrenM12]

Awesome! Was thinking of picking up a headrush core soon.

[@DouglasMelchiades]

Can't go wrong with 5150 on Headrush, sounds amazing! great tips and video as always, Cheers mate!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@INeverWanted2010]

Thanks so much for this! Never thought to use the Crunch amp, I always defaulted to the Lead one because that's what I used on real Peavey amps. But you're right, the crunch is so much cleaner while still sounding pretty heavy.

[@mazingaball]

Well this was fun as hell! Great tutorial and tips....I was creating awesome patches in no time at all and then tweaking them as you said. The funny thing is I purchased some Patches and IRs and when I went back to them, the recipe was basically the same as yours. Thanks!

[@arch23]

I always thought BBD is bucket brigade dealy (analog delay), and that's Headrush's model of the Memory man. I icon of it looks similar also...

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Well I just checked and you're right! It's an EHX Memory Man! The Boss Digital Delay is actually called "Rev Delay" on Headrush - www.scribd.com/document/436087504/Headrush-Models-by-RobyRocks

[@arch23]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial Non the less, great video! Very usefull. The Rev delay is probably a boss reverse digital delay

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

@@arch23 Thanks man 🤘🤘

[@paulbradshawguitar]

it's cool to see loads of modellers have the iconic TS+5150 sort of tone in there low cuts after the amp/cab block i usually go around 80hz, and use a multiband compressor (fractal unit), or you can use EQ to lower the boomy chug sound between 100-200 or so hz, i guess the 150hz lowcut would help with that but i feel it takes away too much of the girth/chug from the guitar all down to taste either way

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Agreed some amp models I won't low cut as much as it will be too tinny.

[@steveclark9934]

I like how you describe the differences in the gain channels on the amp and your reasoning for that I was thinking the same thing and you confirmed that❤

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Deffo works well with the 5150 and other similar Peavey amps!

[@musanthrope]

Hey uncle Jimmy, what do you think about making reviews on the VST amplification?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

I'll take a look mate any ones in particular?

[@musanthrope]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial Mercuriall, Neural DSP, STL Tonality, VTarAmps.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

@@musanthrope funny you say that. I've been toying with the idea of doing a video about Guitar Plugins in general... an overview of the market... The most popular ones.. I kind of have a controversial stance on most of them is the thing. I'll have a think lol

[@musanthrope]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial first one and the latter one are my personal favorites and I actually use them, but it's always good to steal some presets. :D

[@Sargoneees]

Amazing video!!! In a bedroom setting, playing for yourself and for fun, do you prefer running the unit into the return of a tube amp (so I can just use the combo as a powered speaker, but amps, effects and cabs come from my pedal), or into a FRFR speaker? I used to run it into the power amp in of my catalyst 60, and always keep cabs on, since without IR's, it sounded horrible. I now run into the return of my blackstar HT-5 and honestly, the tube power section sounds amazing. Is there any merit to using a FRFR for a better experience?

[@hernancortes4197]

thanx for explaining how to make a metal rig, i own mx5 and i cant make it produce a good sound. can you tell me how to sound like 80s heavy (skid row, Ratt, Cinderella)?, thanx

[@hexaldecima6839]

Tube Screamer (OD) + Gate + Crunch channel for me is the best rhythm combo. Period. However, for lead, I turn off the Tube screamer and Gate and use the lead channel. The reason for this is because the noise gate chokes your sustain.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Fair comments. I normally have the gate low enough to not kill any sustain but then again my playing isn't going to trouble Gary Moore anytime soon 😂

[@mconter25]

Many thanks for this video, man!! Really usefull! I was strugling with a good metal tone.

[@Mediapallo-mediapalvelut-w4g]

thx, good tone as is with Headrush

[@MARK-r6c3k]

I like your Stand for your processor. That's pretty cool.

[@kevsmith5662]

Question for anybody that can help. Can I download the IR to my phone and load it in that way, or do I have to download it to a laptop then load it in that way?

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Jimmy the tone chef. Man that particular 5150 is the goat 5150 model I've played. Compared to my 6505+ crunch channel (the same circuit) it isn't super accurate, but damn I think it sounds better.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Hah totally agree it's really not a particularly faithful model but it sounds killer. So much bite!

[@akiquique]

the best advice on youtube. thanx One thing,,,what about reverb. i don't like delay.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

@@akiquique I prefer Delay for Metal but it's a matter of taste of course! Reverb could still work well.

[@MrFelipeZuniga]

Super cool man! Thanks

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@hcossar]

Great video and really helpful! Any chance you'd do a "Dumble clean sound" how-to demo?

[@AgitsnaRestudipradja]

How about global eq?

[@steevedaigle8606]

Can you share the Rig? Not in the cloud because I’m using a Mx5….

[@elus1ve0ne64]

that Legator is sick !

[@ewanbyrne]

sorry about the off topic question, I've been looking at getting the shredzilla, would you recommend it having owned it for awhile?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Still one of my favourite guitars! You can always tell if I like a guitar because it stays around for more than 6 Months lol

[@komraderymcdermott5903]

100% agreed with adding delay/reverb to open up the sound a lot, dryness is 100% the right word for it Keep up the good work!

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

[@matthck1]

Will that IR work on the pedalboard as well?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Yep should do shout me here if any issues!

[@alexhutson8256]

Hiya! Great video. What's the best amp on the boss gx100 for this?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

X-Hi Gain or Recti Stack. Try both and see which you prefer 👍👍

[@lebarak69]

Is that a new legator, or did you switch your n8fod for a 7?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

I've had this Black Ice 7 for a while mate but I've been lazy, it's needed a restring and setup for like a year and I've just played other guitars instead instead of getting round to it 🤣.

[@Sl1mfit]

I tried this and it doesn't sound anything like in the video. What am I doing wrong? Guitar and pickups are different but it should sound fairly similar. It's not even close. I'm using Line6 Pod Go.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Are you using the included Impulse response? Which amp model in the Pod Go are you using?

[@Sl1mfit]

​@@GuitarCinemaOfficialI'm using the IR provided in the description. Also the signal chain is exactly the same.

[@DigitalDistortedGuitars]

Real Good Cab/Ir is the key

[@DeadShred9]

No Offense but it's easy to Crush with a Bass string on your Guitar !! I still do it with 6 strings and a 7 or 10 Band EQ !!

[@johnbaez1565]

Should have known better to just look at my analog rig 😂 thank you

[@kevinwhite6172]

Sounds choked to me, like your action is way too low.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

This guitar is a little fret slappy yeah but I like it like that. It's just crazy bright sounding which is probably what's coming across too.

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

In watching this I realize how spoiled we are as guitarists today lol. Soo easy to build a high gain tone on these units. Also I think I may compare this tone to the EB crunch with SD I remember it sounding great 👍🏻. Excellent video dude 😎👊🏻

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Right?? We're all on here cork sniffing IR's and Amp Captures and I still remember when the Line 6 Pod was the best we could get 😂

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial oh lord memories of the bean lmao 🤣

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

​@@GuitarCinemaOfficialjust had a idea I know you and I both love making some ambient killer clean tones. Might want to consider trying some of these ambient individual pedals with headrush in the loop like a walrus SLO or Boss DD 200 pedals like that. I may try a BE overdrive in the loop myself this week

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

@@JamesFlorio-ti8gc Funny you say that I've been looking at the Boss SY200 pedal for a potential video and wondering how well it could pair with the ambient sounds I get from HR. Blade Runner vibes?..

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

@@GuitarCinemaOfficial dude yes !!! Absolutely....I have a Schecter with sustainiac and on cleans with synth in helix it can do those Blade Runner sounds....just wait till you try stuff like that you be noodling for hours messing around and looping no joke 💯
