I heard a funny story about reamping. After Jimi Hendrix died, Eddie Kramer was in Electric Lady Studios mixing tracks on a three disc album Hendrix came close to finishing. One night, they sent an assistant engineer to get food for everybody. While the assistant engineer was out, Kramer had a direct recorded guitar track that he wanted to beef up. So he sent the signal from the console to one of Hendrix'Marshall stacks in the studio, and re-recorded it. While they were doing this, the assistant engineer - who had no idea what they were up to - returned. He walked into a dark studio, and heard Hendrix' guitar coming from one of his amps. He ran into the control room, white as a sheet, and scared out of his mind because he thought Hendrix' ghost was in the studio playing his guitar!

3:21 He's actually got a great point, I'm experiencing it now. I recorded DIs and tracked through a 6505 for my band's EP that we're doing now. Then we get to the studio for drums and vocals, and opt to reamp, and end up choosing a different tone with a bit less gain which sounds great, but there were a few parts that just didn't work anymore with the new amp tone and I had to go back and re-track specifically for that amp. Stuff like muted pull-offs now being way too muted and chug intensity no longer having enough power. If possible, getting your album tone right on the first go is very helpful for reasons like that

For the young man from Syria - As Glenn so correctly said, "You're never to old to start learning" - I began "picking" the guitar when I was about 9 in 1974 but it was not until I was about 48 in 2013 that I finally had the time and money to invest into taking the guitar seriously. I found a wealth of guitar lessons on KZbin and you can learn everything from the absolute basic beginner stuff like how to properly hold the pick, how to properly hold the neck, what the strings are called (the notes they are tuned to) all the way up to sweep picking and there's even this loud mouth can't record decent tone if his life depended on it, got screwed over by the fake Queensryche recording engineer from Canada if you want to learn how to record your music (hehehe) . It's all there man, just set your cursor on a video and let the journey begin!! Something else I wanted to pass on, even when people seem to be talking over your head, saying things or using terms you don't understand, watch and listen to them anyway!! It WILL sink in! Glenn says stuff that to me I have no freaking idea what the hell he is talking about, but I keep listening and watching and eventually I figure out what he is talking about. But I also want to throw in this advice - Please, please, please don't let yourself get caught up in all the drama that some people seem to thrive on here on KZbin especially in the music communities. And just because you disagree with something someone says, that does not mean you should type them a long and insulting message, if you don't like what someone has to say or offer, find another channel!! Glad you are finally able to own your own guitar, I know in that part of the world you folks live in hell every day it seems and hey if you can find a little piece of "heaven" by picking up a guitar, more power to you!!

I re-amp all the time. I live in an apartment with really bitchy neighbors. I'll record my "4-6 good takes" DI into my interface. Then when I choose the take I want I play it through my amp. I can also keep my amp in my bedroom (The only room where the walls don't have another apartment on the other side). And throw some home made soundproofing around it to shut the neighbors up. And you're only cranking up the amp for an hour. I can do it during the day when everyone is supposed to be at work.

I can't remember where I first heard about hi Q high gain frequency scanning with EQ, but it leveled up my guitar tone and more importantly opened my mind to how eq's actually work. I usually use low pass filters for high gain tones, but I don't stay religious with a particular frequency. I start the filter as high as it can go and I slowly bring down to right before it affects the tone. Just to make sure there's no weird hiss that competes with cymbals or anything else up there. Thanks for everything you do Glenn!

Rockit Man At first I thought it was stupid but after using a few different guitars and like 100 different amp sims with it, I changed my mind. It’s actually very useful to have, especially since there is such a difference between amp sims in terms of how they react to high end and pick attack. Being able to dial that in right on the front is just awesome. Only complaint is I wish it was controlled digitally so you could save and load presets, would make it a lot easier when changing guitars and plugins, not having to remember what it was set to the previous recording session. Another thing I thought was dumb though is that it only works for input 1. Input 2 doesn’t have that circuitry on it. Which is why I never use input 2 and wish I could go back and just buy the single input version and save a hundred bucks 🤷‍♂️

For the guy asking about amps needing a speaker load... SS amps do not need a speaker load like tube amps do. Tube amps bounce high wattage between the power tubes, transformer(s), and speakers. When you remove the speaker load, all of that energy goes into the tubes and transformer and burns your house down if the fuses don't catch it first. SS amps don't use this the same way. My SS amp is a Peavey Transtube Special 212 and it's a combo with 130W. I added a toggle switch onto one of the speaker wires so it can run silently. It does have a speaker out for a cabinet and I use it as a head in that way when I'm not using my tube amp with its built-in speakers running completely silent. To capture my sound, I use a Behringer Ultra-G which is a special kind of DI box that can handle a speaker line signal up to 1000W (never use a regular DI box that's not made for a speaker signal). When I record my tube amp, I place it on the speaker line between my tube amp and cabinet, and send it to my audio interface and add an IR in the DAW. When I record my SS amp, I do the same thing, except it's optional whether my cab is actually hooked up to it or not; I can run completely silent if I want to. Honestly, I don't know how your sound would be sending your pre-amp line signal from the loop to an interface, but try it. It'll definitely need an IR, but I'm sure it wouldn't be half bad, it'll just take some EQing. If your amp has a cab out, try an Ultra G, they're like $30 at any Music Go Round. Don't use its built in IR, it sounds like garbage, add one in the DAW instead (I use Glenn's Lancaster IRs). I did accidently unplug my Ultra G once while tripping over my cables while it was hooked to my SS amp and cab while turned on and it did actually arc. There's an actual burn mark on the Ultra G input jack now, so there's definitely high wattage going to it; but it didn't damage anything. If it were my tube amp it would have been a different story, but that goes to show how SS are different and very n00b proof.

For the Crush 120 Guy, Plague Scythe Studios on KZbin did a video where he compared using impulses with and with a passive, reactive, and speaker load attached to his amp and using impulses and it turns out that the tones he got with a speaker connected and an IR loaded sounded the most similar to my ears to just micing his cab because the amp still reacted to the speaker being connnected. I'd highly recommend keeping a speaker connected even with a solid state head

Hey Glenn! Huge fan of the show. Im an aspiring audio engineer and also a post rock multi-instrumentalist and i get a lot out of your show so first off i want to say thanks for everything you do. My question is about recording guitar (the issue is more pronounced with DI's). Sometimes i get a lot of string noise and squeaking from sliding up or down when tracking guitar. In most occurrences i slightly alter how i play to eliminate most of it but other times, especially when the part is a slide up a few or more frets. the problem obviously gets worse when you add compression and bring all that stuff up. I find flatwounds too dark for my taste. Is my only option fret ease or something? Any advice is much appreciated. And fuck you from Cincinnati, Ohio. lol.

Exactly! Henning is RIGHT! (I may need that mug). He nailed it and took the words right out of my mouth. The amp is an extension to the instrument itself. The feel is gone when re-amping. The initial inspiration is gone as well. That’s why people strongly prefer different amps than others. Some are loose.. some are tighter. Some have a better sustain for holding chords, etc. having someone re-amp your tone is the worst.

It all depends. If they are the same tone it can generate a wide ish sound, the more different tones the wider it can be, and the more definition in the midrange in general if they are different guitars and amps etc, and even better different registers. So if you doubletrack the same tone and riff L and R, dont expect to be able to track many more guitarparts or midrange parts like synths or strings, because definition in the mix gets very blurry. If the doubletracked same tone part is supposed to be low in volume, more like support, then it will work fine in my experience. Same principle applies with all sounds, not just guitars with distortion but clean sounds dont occupy as much freq density as distorted guitars, but the more different registers of accords and sounds the better for the mix and soundstage! That is basic arranging! Super important

The Pros: - Can record on a lower volume at 3 am - Can record using headphones knowing my amp won't be waking up the neighbor cause it's not turned on - Any weird sound made by the amp at the moment of recording can be easily solved - Can change the tone or the mic position without doing another take - Can fully focus on the performance knowing I can change the tone later if needed - Reamp box came with funny Radial stickers - ENGL can be loud only when it needs to Cons: - None.

Hey Glenn! I for one have been on the lunchbox amp wave ever since the Orange Tiny Terror came out. I have a lot of these little guys and have found that many of them have HUGE sound and monster tone. I for one would love to see you take on a couple of these for recording and get your take on the topic. The PRS MT15 isn't talked about much and is the most brutal sounding mini amp I have in my collection (or have ever played through for that matter). I am a bit puzzled why they aren't discussed more than they are (6L6 power section). I have a Friedman Runt 20 that can do some serious stuff, especially with the front end boosted slightly. A sleeper head out there that slays is the Diamond Assassin. This amp has some serious punch as well (just have to leave the diode boost off as it sucks the tone right out of it). Anywho, look forward to seeing some content on the topic. Take care and fuck you Glenn!

Yep, I low-pass my guitars, especially if I'm using an amp sim. I usually find weird fizzy bumps in the 12-20kHz range, so I set a gentle low-pass (6 to 12 dB/oct) and bring it down until the guitar sounds muffled, before bumping it back up a bit. My cutoff frequency usually ends up somewhere around 10kHz, but your milage may vary!

I produce a fair amount of heavy guitar sound and I religiously LPF at usually ~10KHz. Obviously, sometimes the mix demands a variation on that, but it really doesn't add to the mix. Between vocals and cymbals, do you really need the guitar hiss from high gain tones clogging up the space? Disclaimer: I work with amp sims by Bias primarily and thus with real tube amps, I'd reassess. When I worked on guitar processed with a kemper, I found myself reaching again for the LPF. If you HPF up to 8KHz and hear what guitar information is isolated up there, I'd argue it's not that vital in a full mix with dual tracked guitars, split n grit bass tone, and a full live drum kit. If other producers have a different approach, I'd love to hear their viewpoints. Love the channel, Glen!

@charlesmayberry2825
@charlesmayberry2825 4 жыл бұрын
sweeping the EQ can work well for them but some guidelines below for the Bandit. (Fine tuning using that technique is always helpful, that's what in the following I'll call dialing in. Remember that bedroom sound and stage sound are drastically different. Playing alone I like my guitar to sound HUGE. in a mix, that sounds muddy. Just worth noting, be aware of the situation and dial in accordingly (once you get your live setting dialed in, mark it, write it down. Keep it so that you can replicate the sound.) On my bandit I tend to leave the high in and cut the low some for practice times, I'm not using the Gain channel though I control the high end with the tone settings on my distortion pedal, but low passing is certainly an option but I don't tend to myself. The bandit does some real weird shit in the low end though, both of my guitars have a ton of bottom end to start and the bandit struggles, and sounds real muddy. dialing back the low and then fine tuning about that is highly recommended, I don't use the Bandit for live though. it's an amazing practice amp, but I like to use something a little "more" for live. If it's what you have though, dial it in and rock the shit out of it. cut the lows a bit, especially if you use lower tunings (it's counter intuitive, but the lower you're tuned or if you're using an extended range guitar, the low is going to be there, dial it back you'll still hear it just fine, especially on the bandit where it doesn't like the low end as much. basically, low tuned or baritone guitars, 7 strings, they are going to have enough bass signal that you can really dial it back a LOT at the amp itself. it will clean up the sound a lot. This also helps it fit a band situation a lot better, for live settings with a band you want that sound thin and focused like a damn laser. However, experiment. do what you do. Make your sound yours. just dial it in to your taste, and your band, Get the amp set how you like. take feedback seriously but also with some skepticism, not everyone knows everything. What works for me, may not for you, as we play different guitars, setup differently, with different pickups and different signal chains.. But that's my advice for a Bandit. They are great little amps.

yeah, eq's work great in effects loops. even putting one up front will work. if it's a graphic eq just pull down the noisy frequency. usually somewhere between 2 and 5k. 4k is known for being bad, but it depends on your rig. (speaker is a big influence on exactly where the nasty frequency is). but cranking each freq between 2 and 5k one at a time and listening for the most god awful noise of the bunch will work just like the sweeping technique Glen describes with a daw eq. once you find the worst noise, just turn that eq down instead of up. easy peasy.

You're correct in that solid state amps do not need a load connected to operate, in fact they ideally prefer an infinite load. However, if you short the outputs, or run a near short load, like a 2 ohm speaker, they will blow their output devices and release the magic blue smoke.

From what I understand, load boxes allow you to be able to send a load safely into an amplifier without having to use a cabinet, wether it be a tube or solid state amp. I’ve got one plugged into my Bugera 6262 Infinium just so I can keep the volume down, but from what I understand as long as I have the amp plugged into a load box it should be able to safely transfer all that energy into the loadbox. Of course, I could be wrong and if someone could correct me if I’m wrong I’d really appreciate it.

I always low pass my recorded guitars at 12k, high pass at 70hz and then scoop out some whistling frequencies around 3 or 4k and around 250-400hz. Seems to work well for me. I also use my Orange CR120H with a Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 directly into my Focusrite interface and it is a straight forward setup and the impulses I use sound exactly like my real cab. This is a perfect setup for home recording if you insist on using a real amp head.

Glenn, regarding your question about low passing guitars, I do it about 12-13K because I like to have the natural frequency resonance that still happens on those frequencies. Yeah, it's a common rule start low passing about 8 to 10k but there's more natural resonance beyond that. By the way, yes, please do another tutorial video about that "surgical" equing guitar techniques.

I have been low pass filtering a lot of stuff live for quite a while now. I find it really cleans things up quite a lot. I find in some cases the LPF can come down to 6khz or even 4khz on guitars. The thing is try sweeping things down and see what you get. If certain frequencies are all fighting for the same space, something has to give in, they key is to figure out what parts of the mix has to get the cuts.
Baby Steps.
