regarding tweaking guitar processors
Q: Hi, does anyone know any site where one can get tips on how to tweak their guitar multieffects processor to get the exact sounds of one’s favourite artistes through their guitars?
A: Line 6 has a really good database of presets at their website if you have a line 6.
On a side note: Keep in mind that what you hear on a record is not necessarily how the player’s guitar amp sounds in a room. In mixing, guitar tones get radically EQed (more than most people probably imagine) by the engineers to fit into the mix. Sometimes, what a guitar tone sounds like coming through an amp sounds NOTHING like what it does after it is mixed. A lot of a guitar player’s tone is also in the hands. The way you pick the strings for example has a large impact on how your tone sounds.
