Too Much Gain by joshpollard on SoundCloud - Hear the world

Alrighty, I'm thinking maybe I over did the gain on the heavy rhythm guitars on this. I'm using:

TS 808 Mod - 0 Drive, 3 Tone, and 7 Level

FAS Modern - 4 Input Drive, 7 for Bass/Mid/Treble, 0 Presence, 0 compression, 2 Depth, 5 Master Volume, Bright Switch On

I really like the sound of this amp. I'm usually a fairly tight player for cleaning up the noises using distorted tones. Any suggestions?

Try using a gate between the drive and amp blocks. I usually put a PEQ between the amp and cab block to sort out flub and a little compression before everything in the chain. That's just my personal preference.

Sounds pretty good to me dude...through my iPhone. I second what Fabio said about slapping a gate between the drive and amp blocks. That'd help clean it up and make it more tight and focused if that's what you're going for. I use the FAS Modern pretty much solely for my heavier stuff and I always turn the Saturation switch ON and back of the Input gain on the Amp to 3.20-3.70. What cab(s) and mic(s) are you using for this clip?
