    Give it another shot, it might be a simple speaker change or trying some different tubes. I also have a big tube amp but i also have Amplitube, a rig which uses the AMT S-1 pedal, a Marshall Lead 12 amp in my bedroom, i have the free Lepou plug-ins for Garageband, and i also have the Vox Metal headphone amp. Having options for different tones is always nice.

      the magic is the mix around it. if i solo out the guitar its decent but not as cool sounding as when the mix is going.
      How did you record and mix this? Double tracking, bouncing, stuff like that? Did you do all the guitars or is the Vox just the power chords? Damn good stuff there, man.
      My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )

        i know what your saying ive been down this road before and i always have to come back to my senses. DSL preamp tone is better than any sim, but i guess i just like the fact of getting money for the amp.

          every guitar you hear is the Vox, with the same eqs and gain for both lead and rhythm tone.
          only different is sublte eq changes in Reaper for each part.
          mainly to mix the rhythm and lead tone to fit into a mix better and not step on each other.
          i didnt really do that much.

            That sounded great! ..awesome sound and excellent mix...

            Amp sims/modelers are the way to go for modern high gain. I have a H&K switchblade combo that I prefer not to use for recording/gigs because I get better tone from the line-out out of my Line6 Spider IV.

            I even used it at a gig recently...line-out to the PA at the venue. We ended up being complimented for having the best sound of the evening. (3 piece doom/death band with NO bass player!). I can post a link to a HD video of us covering Autopsy's classic "Twisted Mass Of Burnt Decay" ( ) if the OP has no objection..don't want to butt in here.

              im right there with you. ive been trying to talk myself in and out of these same questions. but i notice one thing that i dont like about the amp sims is the treble aspect, they all have a hard pressed internal sound to them or honky in a way, hard to eq it out, but they get way fuller gain but at a little price.
              the tube dsl is more organic and shreds purer lead tone than any sim ive ever heard ever, but the rhytmn tones are hard to get modern high gain. im still working at it over two years.

                Nice. Small cheap Voxes are the way to go, apparently. My favorite amp of mine is the Vox AC1, which is this big...

                  hahaha, awesome. I've been wanting to try their cheap/small bass combo, which isn't much bigger.

                  I rock this at night - I'm not a huge fan of headphone jamming, but the small cab is nice because it doesn't project out of my practice room like a 1-12" seems to:

                    I have no idea how the new ones are. I have the old first-edition 3-knob model. The new one has like 5, and built-in drum tracks and ****. I'd like to try one out though, if it sounds the same as mine I'd pick up another just cause they're cheap.
