I go through every Zakk Cervini preset for STL Tonehub! These tones are great for pop punk but there's so much more! There's heavy tones, clean tones, and even bass tones!

Thanks for the vid, Sam! What drums did you use there? I noticed the drum channel is labeled as SD3, but I couldn’t guess which pack. Sounds awesome!

[@PeakLevelAudio]

Hello! It's the Pop Punk EZX, the Knife preset!

[@lavs8696]

hi dude, amazing video, i just recently got tonehub because of you! im new to recording my guitars, how do you play the octave guitars?

[@PeakLevelAudio]

I hope you're liking tonehub as much as I am! Do you mean what chords am I playing?

[@lavs8696]

​@@PeakLevelAudio thank you, i absolutely love it so far! and ya i was just wondering how it blends so well. is it just played as power chords an octave up? also should you eq them any differently than the main rhythm guitars?

[@PeakLevelAudio]

@@lavs8696 Indeed, I'm playing an octave up! The rhyhm is the G chord on the E string, 3rd fret, and the octave is playing the G on the A string, 10th fret. For the octave I'm only playing the G on the 10th fret and 12th fret, I'm not playing the D note on the 12th fret so it's not a power chord. When tracking's finished and I get around to EQ'ing, I would EQ the octave separately from the rhyhm guitar!

[@lavs8696]

​@@PeakLevelAudio ohh ok, so theyre just octave chords (makes sense ha). i was thinking the octave part meant an octave up from the rhythm. thank you so much!

[@lavs8696]

by the way you have the best pop punk tutorials on youtube. the new mgk album has inspired me to learn how to record my own songs and i cant thank you enough!

Hi Sam! Is this pack better for pop punk than Felmann's?

[@franquitu]

same

[@PeakLevelAudio]

I'd say they're about the same! It really seems like it's an extension of the Feldmann pack.

[@rmv2333]

@@PeakLevelAudio thanks for the info, Sam! There are too many options now and I have to refrain from buying them all.

[@raspybits6175]

Which stl pack would fit a band like citizen or basement. I'm having trouble deciding:(

[@PeakLevelAudio]

I'm not familiar with those bands. I did google Basement and interestingly enough Colin Brittain produced their last album. He has a tonehub pack but I've not tried it.

[@raspybits6175]

@@PeakLevelAudio thank you very much for information

[@franquitu]

he uses almost the same feldys amps, loved all the soldano tones

[@PeakLevelAudio]

Yeah, I basically never looked beyond Marshall and Mesa for the longest time IRL, but now that I use amp sims exclusively there's some amps I enjoy that I never would've tried otherwise! Like Soldano and Diezel!

[@franquitu]

[@MAGICSPRODUCER]

@@PeakLevelAudio thank you, sounds great

[@alessandrotorres3537]

[@alessandrotorres3537]

[@PeakLevelAudio]

@@alessandrotorres3537 I hope you have a blast with this pack!
