Hey guys, I know this is a bit nerdy. I have a punk/rock recording and I am searching for a tone like the ones at the following vids.
I tried every possible amp/cab combo, with different guitars, with soft and hard picks, hitting hard or softly and from different angles. In fact, at the first video the guy uses classic 57's which I have on some of my guitars.
I can get very close EQ-wise, but the punch (I don't know how else to describe it, these tones sound just like that: a punch in the face lol) and that certain marshall "character" is missing. Those mids that sound like someone is hitting your chest and these highs that sound wild like a whip (LOL). The Fm3 sounds very gentle in comparison and the notes/chords do not "open" - respond like these sample tones.
Is there any trick I am missing? Is there a certain cab or amp that can provide this punch and character? Any setting that I should play around with? Any help would be much appreciated.
at 5.25 and 5.31 when he hits one powerchord repeatedly
at 00.46 and from there
I love my fm3, I know it's somewhere in there!
