TH2 definitely seems to have potential. I haven't spent much time with it, but I think that once I become familiar with it, I could get some really useful sounds. I like the way they handle the "miking," too. I'll still need the EQ trick, though, and don't forget about the "de-esser before amp" trick.

Hey Mr. Anderton. De-Esser before amp, that made me curious. Care to elaborate a little? Or point me to a place where I can learn some more? I'm curious of how and why that would affect my sound and why I should do it. Even more important - when I play a guitar tuned to B or A wouldn't that kill the attack?

Thanks for asking it...

My pleassure Clifford!
 
 
Now let's hold our breath and see how long it takes before Mr. Anderton replies to it

Ah, cool! Bookmarked! I will experiment with this later. Thanks!


Still curious about the de-esser though

This thread is inspiring!   I haven't bothered to even try out the TH2 because I figured it's just another disappointment... yadda yadda yadda.

I was able to get some very nice tones out of the Orange amp in GR4 after tweaking it to death and now y'all have inspired me to get out my guitar and take TH2 for a spin!!!!

And one thing I noticed is that for chunky presets it inserts the overdrive pedal AFTER the head. I didn't like that too much so I swapped the head and the pedal so the pedal was first in the chain. Much better.

Yeah, thanks for popping in, Craig. I'd love to see an Anderton column on this... and Wookiee, opinion seems sharply divided on the interface. Some like that it's laid out more like a real life signal chain but others, like myself, find it a bit awkward and too spread out.

Just cause I have it open here are the settings I am currently using for the thrash tune. Left to right... TubeNine Pedal: Drive at 1 o'clock, Tone at 1 o'clock, Level at 2 o'clock. Splitter: OFF. Amp Head: Channel A Modern (US) set to "Modern". Channel B Overloud Custom set to "Boost. SLR slider set to two thirds to the right (More Overloud head). Drive = 7 Bass = 8.5 Mid = 3 Treble = 9 Presence = 10 Volume = 5.5 Level = 0 VariFire = 9. TH2 Mixer Pro (I didn't touch this): Delay 1 = 0 Width 1 = 100 Pan 1 = 0 Level 1 = 0 Set to Stereo with balance all the way to 1. Channel 2 is not being used. Cabinet: 4x12 Modern (US), Mic A adn B are AustrianGold414 both set to 0.0in on all parameters. Mix: Mic A = 0.0 Mic B, Rear and 45 set to infinity. Mic A and B are more or less centered on the bottom left cone. I really didn't do much to any of the cab parameters except selecting the cab and moving the mics around a bit. Sorry for the block of text.

Doe the TH2 Producer version do stand alone? How about the upgrade. Thanks.

Being used to using recabinet, I still think I'm hearing a bit of that "fizzyness" on higher notes, but I understand what you guys are saying about the chunk, it's nice.

I agree with the OP.  In the past couple of days that I've been using it I've been very surprised  how easily TH2 gives up some great sounds with very little tweaking - getting good sounds a lot quicker than with other sims I've used.

@OP_No offense meant but.............You have been here less than 5 months and you have over 3100 posts?????
Very strange_That is over 20 posts a day EVERYDAY..........? Wow is all I can say.  Almost 1 post every hour for 5 months? Whoa

Makes you wonder how he has the time to make music.  I struggle as it is, and it's my job..

Not sure what that has to do with anything but if you must know I've just recently gotten down to making music (working on a tune right now actually). For the past five months I've been putting myself through a self implemented crash course in how to make all this gack work. I also seem to have made some buddies here and I like chatting with them. I know I talk too much sometimes but the conversations I've had on these forums have been invaluable to me. I REGRET NOTHING! ;-)

And so you shouldn't.
 
I wasn't getting at you.  I can't speak for the other member.  I think, perhaps that  Bapu should be starting to worry.
 
I'm glad you're making friends and learning from this forum.  I certainly have.  I may be envious of your spare time, though.
 
I'm sorry you find "All this" is "Gak".  It's certainly a sharp learning curve.
 
Look forward to hearing your toons when you get a chance to post them.

Right on, jb. I actually enjoy playing with the "gack" but it can be a little daunting and frustrating as a beginner. IIRC you've helped me a couple of times yourself. Just a great place to learn stuff IMO. Sorry if I talk too much... if you knew me you'd understand why. I really don't have much else going on. Cheers.

Same here bud, since this last January when I went back to school to retake some theory I've decided to give all I got or die trying...and BTW, you have been one of the posters that have changed my feelings toward this forum ...you offer a lot of camaraderie that has made me be more active in this forum since ...well a long ass time.
Thanks for that Beep...and very much looking forward to trying your TH2 recipe (cuz a guitar player I ain't)!
