This time, it’s all about how the guitar tone sits in a full mix.

A quick solo using an SLO 100 capture pushed with Red Distortion, plus Flanger, Delay & Reverb, showing how NAM A2 Player can deliver a rich, spacious lead tone that cuts through the mix while still feeling natural and balanced with the rest of the instruments.

Not just a great tone when playing alone — but a tone that works where it really matters: in the mix.

Hello again R/GuitarTone!
I still am using a line 6 helix. And I’m still obsessing over recreating the live guitar tone of my favorite band
(Who are actually very popular. 9 million subs on YouTube, 7.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify)

This song they’re playing live this time is this section of “I Walk Ahead Of You”

I know he’s probably modeling a pitch shifter/ whammy pedal

But the basic settings for me (Mix at 100%, 1-2 octaves up, shift level 10. Etc) don’t sound like it that much. Based on what you’re hearing. Should I change my amp setup? (Which is modeling a JCM800, Tube Screamer and A Mid + High booster.) and what settings should I use on my whammy/pitch shifter?

Thanks!

Im not looking for a perfect tone replication since I have a feeling Gojira does a lot of layers and sound tweaks in the studio, but i just want something similar to the tone.

I have looked online and I have tried tweaking different tones on the hm300, but it all sounds kinda dull. Whenever I try to get that sharper sound, the gain is usually too high so it just makes a messy sound. I do not have a very expensive amp either, it only has an overdrive button, and a treble, bass, and mid knob. Pretty much the essentials. I haven't tried using both pedals together, but maybe it could work that way. I'd love it if anyone could help me get closer to achieving this tone.

irio pro is in the app store!!!

hej there,

I’m proud to report that irio pro v1.0.0 is online now!!!

What I began some years ago as a nerdy project for myself, has turned into much more over time. I used to build and design my own schematics and pcbs for analog pedals and rig solutions under my brand „nørholm“, and what started as a multiple convolution IR loader for my FX setup has evolved into a much deeper project over time – even starting to replace some of my analog gear in my setup.

irio pro is a modular effects canvas for iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac.

You place modules on a canvas and patch them together with cables, with no fixed order, as many as you like, as long as your cpu can handle it there are no real limits for crazy setups — split the signal, run two, three, five, six modules side by side, feed the left side of a reverb into a delay, the right side to a different output on you interface… or three... Run a vocal chain in parallel... It runs on its own or as an AUv3 plugin inside your DAW or inside apps - like Loopy Pro.

In the final stages a lot of people were on the apple TestFlight with me, and the feedback was genuinely great. You found things I never would have caught on my own, suggested great ideas, and the app has evolved a lot because of you. Thank you so much for all your help!!! I really appreciate it :)

 

I will keep working on irio – the project started out as an idea of something I would have always liked to have for myself – now it’s starting to replace a lot of my other gear… and others seem to like it too, so I will continue to improve on that idea. There is some cool new stuff already in the pipeline.

 

Check it out if you like – and I’m happy to answer questions and receive feedback :)

How do you make that riff? Is it a bass guitar or a setting tweek on an audio program?

This is the song I'm asking about https://youtu.be/eW3ZGROFfmw?t=44

Look, we know, it’s the n-th app you’ve seen that integrates NAM A2. But hey, maybe this flavour is for you!

Quick introduction: Me and my buddy are university students (physics and IT engineering), and we made an app for iOS named Gateway Pro (original huh?) that satisfies our needs, considering the limited time we have to practice.

Features: It’s an fx suite with a few unique features such as up to 4 parallel signal paths with optional Linkwitz-Riley crossover (splits your signal into frequency bands), audio unit loader for importing your own AUv fx, MIDI functionality and other stuff, but what’s cool about it is the live mode, comprised of metronome, a handy scene view, a playlist mode and a setlist mode. The point of these is to load your backing tracks into playlists or setlists, the difference being that playlists just play the backing tracks in order without changing presets or scenes, whereas the setlist mode does. The point of this is efficient practice, having specific playlists with various workouts and/or repertoires.

Most important of all: the tone curve. Reacts to your playing, completely useless, looks rad, can be deactivated.

We’re offering a 48h free trial without having to enter any card info, and we’re looking for feedback, so the first 15 people who pm me with opinions, possible improvements and critiques gets a key to unlo the app for free (lifetime, we don’t do subscriptions). Thank you all for reading and we hope the app is something you’ll enjoy!

EDIT: as someone pointed out, our the app’s name is misleading. We will be changing it shortly, and apologise for the mistake. I also want to thank everyone for their valuable feedback, as it is helping us fill the potholes we missed during development.

EDIT 2: following the suggestions of our users, we have rolled out an update tackling several concerns users had with the app.

- name changed to AmpGate pro in order to avoid confusion

- UI optimised for vertical viewing

- added sync to the modulation

- plugins in the auv3 loader are now sorted by developer

- general ui and ux improvements, especially on smaller screens

- improved input and output meter ballistics and readability

- fixed a bug that caused menus to display incorrectly on smaller screens

- improved ui’s smoothness on some devices and fixed issues that caused some au plugins to not be displayed correctly

- fixed various graphical bugs

-other stuff I’m probably forgetting

Hello everyone! We are the devs of AmpGate Pro, and we’re happy to introduce you to AmpGate. As AmpGate Pro’s little cousin, it doesn’t come with any of its bells and whistles. It’s a simple instance of NAM capable of running A2 models with a ui we find intuitive (and fun to look at) and a nice integrated browser.

Comes in both standalone and auv3 format

I recently bought this electric guitar
https://www.andertons.co.uk/squier-fsr-classic-vibe-60s-stratocaster-hss-in-dark-olive-green/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20509567871&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUriEF6hVP54HY2wO05eIJ_KH&gclid=CjwKCAjw3ejRBhAdEiwADkqPnwxqxeTNQBz2Ps_foHzLE0Ii1zJpITzOhPgBvBhtvpco8_dKdVaX-hoCqCAQAvD_BwE

and when I compared the DI sound of my guitar to other HSS in videos it sounded weirdly dull, I can't explain it. The high strings sound quieter compared to the other strings and theres a weird lack of clarity. I bought this guitar because I'm a big fan of it's versatility with the Humbucker for distorted stuff and the other 2 picks for clean stuff, and HSS's are also what 80s clean LA tone guitarists like Steve Lukather used, which is a tone I'm desperately trying to recreate but I am struggling and I am wondering if there's something wrong with the tone. I run everything through a 2i2 on instrument mode. Here is some audio of the guitar as I switch through the pickups. What can be done about this? any advice?
