i got your PM man, but i was busy all weekend with beta testing Guild Wars, so i'm terribly sorry i didnt send you anything yet. do you have MSN? if so, my email is in the profile, i can send you a couple of presets over and give you a pointer or two about tweaking.. but you really should speak to nuni about this as he gets the most awesome sounds out of it...

Re: Guitar Port Settings
sorry, i only have AOL, but when u get ur heavy distortion which amp and cab are you using, right now the best setup i can get is using 1993 Solo head w/ the Brit Celest T75 and a stomp box, but i dont think i should have to use the stomp box to get the distortion i want

Try downloading the tones if you have guitarport online, it should be free for amonth.

Re: Guitar Port Settings
umm.. which distortion you mean? LOL
i use all across... from the JCM800, soldano, line6 rectifier (did you upgrade your software to 2.5? if not, do it now, the stuff is improved with it and you get a graphic EQ)
the most recent balls to the wall metal tone i had, was the line 6 rectifier, through a line6 4X12, tube screamer, etc etc etc, i think i threw in everything it has hehe..
the other recent one i got is a little more vintage type in tone, it's a soldane, tube screamer and line6 4x12
i dont like the other stomp boxes but the screamer. it focuses the sound a bit and colors it slightly, so it seems more 'juicy' .. i find the gain of dry amps too loose (yes, even the rectifier) to be usable for me

Re: Guitar Port Settings
right now i am using the 1993 solo head with brit celest T75's and the classic distortion stomp box, basically it's the preset "Lead The Way" without the delay and some EQ changes. it seems to be working well. dont you have to buy version 2.5?

Re: Guitar Port Settings
you got ****loads of stuff on the online service.. sadly, i dont have a credit card i could use for it, but you got TONS of lessons (from hendrix, over SRV, slash, to kerry king) you can download backing tracks also, which work similar to the guitar pro files (they show you what to play and which section is coming up)
etc etc etc, you got loads of stuff there

Re: Guitar Port Settings
How do those things sound? I've messed around with a bunch of Line 6 amps, but was never really impressed. Then I played some Valvetronix, which were a little better, but sorta lame in the high-gain department. Boss always has the tone I need, but now I'm thinkin' maybe I didn't take the time to dial in good tones on the Line 6 stuff?
