Sounds like a guitaramp to me. Nothing strange at all.
hmm, then all the great sounds on my favorite records must be NO guitar amps
i have noticed the same thing turning my guitar volume down seems to help a lot as well as turning down the
tone control on the guitar.
absolutely not my direction, i really do not like to adjust my sound on the guitar, may sound strange but as it's for recording only i need a consistant tone and to keep it consistant i always have vol and tone all the way up.
my nw guitar doen't even have a tone control
O.k. this might be why we are experiencing the same thing. I have the EXACT same GUITAR as you. I notice even on the cleans this very high frequency coming from these pickups. Have you tried a different guitar yet?
I listened to your clip in my office speakers and I didn't notice much of a problem with your clip, so I believe the way we are monitoring can very well be to blame as is the fact that your recording is metal, mine is very clean, I made a recording myself with a clean comparison found here:
When I listen to certain amps, I hear it more on my FRFR Yamaha speakers than I do on certain PC speakers. Either way, it's not bad. I just view it as a different type than previous Firmwares. In fact on some amps, it really ads a great character (especially the cleans). The only thing about it that I don't like is the frequency is really pretty high and this makes it harder to believe it's a tube amp as they don't usually produce frequencies higher than 8k or so.
I'll play around some more with some of the other suggestions. See how it feels with a different guitar if you have one. I haven't had much time lately.
the C-1 is my only electric atm, the other is still being built, should be here in a few weeks.
i just tweaked and tweaked and found out something interesting.
i think it's not really a matter of high frequencies.
i tried sounds with lots of highs and presence but they sounded ok,
it's more like some weird LOW...i call it "flutter" but not speaker flutter as such.
talking of "speaker" i'm about 90% sure that the problem comes from the new IR's.
i never really liked the standard FAS IR's, so i was absolutely stoked about the new ones.
that's why i started dialing new FW10 sounds using the new IR's (new CALI)
then i loaded the old 4x12 cali which i didn't like before, and WOW, such a difference, it sounds superior compared to the new one...
then i browsed through the other IR's and realized that all the new IR's have this strange "saturated" sound.
there are also a few old ones that sound like that...the KALTHALLEN IR's were a few of them.
then i converted my all time favorite IR i have used since i got my standard and now i'm absolutely happy with the sounds.
i loaded up the 6160 BLOCK model and the IR...it sounds absolutely great without ANY tweaking,
it's just a bit weak on the low end and has not enough gain, but that's adjustable in seconds.
then i tried the same thing with some of the new IR's and, well it's not usable, way too boomy, cloudy, unbalanced (just my 2c, i hope nobody gets offended
)
Tubeamps can produce higher frequenzys than you can hear .
If you want to. Tubes are used in radiotransmitters.
i don't have that much experience there, my only tube amp ever was an old HOHNER orgaphone, it sounded great but it was more a radiator than an amp
I've had good success turning down the Amp Input Trim parameter on some models.
tried that also but it does nothing more than raising/lowering the gain, at least on the 6160 BLOCK model...
