Music Banter - View Single Post - Need Help Refining Amplitube3 Metal Sound...

anathematized_one · 11-19-2013, 07:02 PM

So, I record my guitar direct input because I have no amp. I add Amplitube3 for my amp (VST). I need some help refining the sound though...

I have this melodic black metal project and I don't quite like the tone I am currently working with:
Example - https://soundcloud.com/anathematized...ok-at-me-the-1

EDIT:
Here is a link to the actual preset:

The problem I have with this sound is that it is a bit too digital (I know it will never sound entirely realistic, but I have heard others that sound far more realistic).

Another issue I have is that it is a bit "thin" and the high end is a little winy.

Here are pictures of the setup (nothing on stomp 2 or rack 2):

I tried to use some different mic'ing techniques, but any dual mic or recommended set up I try ends up resulting in a thinner, more winy tone.
