Hi Everyone,
This'll be my first post here. I've been using the tone match block with quite a bit of success for a while now, but it seems like there are some aspects of guitar tones that have to be replicated outside of the tone match block, particularly any elements in the chain that affect picking dynamics. A lot of thrash metal tones have this incredibly pleasing 'pick swipe-ey' noise (a sort of squeak) and I can't figure out where it comes from; I think one might be tempted to say that "it's all in the fingers" but in this case (and after about 8 years of listening to this kind of stuff and playing it) I don't think that's all it is. This doesn't seem to be something that I can elicit strictly in my playing.
You can hear what I'm talking about here, at :05, particularly when the triplets are played:
Any ideas? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with a boost from a drive pedal, or gain settings, but of course I could be wrong...
