Well… I’ve got the incredible Ibanez JEM 7V and I wanted to get a rig setup so close as possible to Vai’s sound and to check how it’s heared in youtube. Just a test video, I think I will post a “The Crying Machine” cover shortly after some little tweeks…
Using the JEM and Guitar Rig 3 to model the sound in Cubase SX, a good EQ for the guitar and a stereo expander and a limiter for the final mix. Let’s see if I can get it…
In Guitar Rig 3, using (in this order) the DISTORTION (Boss DS-1), the CHORUS+FLANGER (as a very little of chorus), the Ultrasonic amp (kind of Bogner) and the QUAD DELAY (instead of any kind of reverb) in order to get a cleaner end in the solos with a little of deepness also… Settings:
* Distortion: Vol(5), Tone(1.73), Distortion(2.73).
* Chorus/Flanger: Speed(1Hz), Intensity(3), Width(1.34).
* Ultrasonic: Master(5), Vol(5), Gain(10), Bass(6.14), Middle (4.10), Treble (7.01), Presence(7.51).
* Cabinet: Ultrasonic 4×12, Mic 100% A, Air(1.58).
* Quad Delay: Wet(30.2%, but it will depend on the mix), Time(449ms), Feedback(14.6%), Rate and Depth out (0), Diffusion(10, max stereo).
The tricky thing is that I’m trying to apply an EQ to this overall sound, still working on it:)
You can see that it’s not any kind of playback because of the mistakes I made… The sound of the guitar is 100% real of what I get with the stuff I’ve got. Greetings!
P.D.: after seeing the video in youtube, It’s pretty clear that they use a heavy sound limiter, resulting in loss of deepness of the track and some artifacts like sound level breaks. I’ll try to post the next video with a little less of output and see what happens then, because It looses a lot of overall quality…
Moreover it sounds in mono by default, so…
