Blog: How to Direct Record and Make it Sound Amazing
In the last few months I have went "all in" on recording direct with amplitube. I love the flexibility and I'm learning a lot about mic placement and eq. Mixing is more fun too. I kept all my gear but not played anything else in a while.Peavey Wolfgang(USA) EBMM pickups
Meanstreet Exile (Wolfgang Copy) evh set
Sterling AX40 stock (Fender Wolfgang bridge/AN neck)
Epiphone LP Special w/JB
Rouge P Bass SD Quarter Pounders
Epiphone Acoustic with seymour woody
1984 Marshall JCM 800 4010 Voodoo Modded w/EVH Greenback
Peavey 6505+ combo

While I find direct recording super useful, I'm very excited to try reamping (with a real amp) this year. Sort of the same principal, but I think I'll dig it more.

I have extreme gas, so any way I can stop it is good... that is the cool thing about modeling, it stops a lot of gas because of so many options.
I cant record with a real amp which is way too loud for my quiet apartment, so I simulate that with my tech 21 character pedals. I have gone with ezmix for reamping.

I'm planning on using this:
plugged into the speaker out on this:
with the cab sim turned off and running the line out into the computer.

Even their free version with one cab and one mic sounds awesome.

hmm, that ultra G sounds tempting but I digress... I really want to hear sound samples of DI box with a fuzz pedal. or axefxII/kemper with a fuzz pedal that sounds good.
or any amp sim fuzz pedal for that matter that sounds good

Re: Blog: How to Direct Record and Make it Sound Amazing
I think fuzz is super awesome organic perfection. My whole tone is based around fuzz, being a proco rat II pedal, orange amp, and Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh pedal. I play downtuned heavy rock and I can do some rock and some br00tz with modelers, but I dont wanna spend a ton of $$ unless I am super happy with the result; I gotta save $ for my next purchase anyway. I tried all the fuzz modeling out there and searched to the end of the internetz, but to no avail; no good clips of fuzz in my opinion from modelers.
here is what I am talking about, a dude used Kemper to mimic a fuzz and I do not like the fuzz tone at least
