I've given up on micing dirty tones for the time being. My room's too small, my amps are too loud, I can never get it to sound right, and my parents don't wanna deal with the noise either
.
So, with that in mind, I ordered myself a new little toy that would allow me to record my KRANK without micing it up...the Palmer PDI-09.
It's basically a DI box that doubles as a speaker simulator. Still have to have a load attached to the amp with this one, but I got a weber MASS 150 on the way for that purpose.
As for right now, I've re-recorded the beginning of one of my tunes using the Palmer. This was a quick plug-in-and go take that I recorded while my parents were out of the house.
Its not perfect...I've been experimenting a bit more with the drums recently, trying to get them to sound a bit more realistic. I've met with some success, some failures, and many headaches. But...its a learning process.
Like I said, the gats were pretty much plug-in-and play. I used my headphones to dial in the tone, and in about 15 minutes I had made this clip. It aint quite punchy enough as is, and is a little trebly, but it shows some potential methinks
