    Thanks Ola for "Ola Thursdays" the Whistle EQ techniques really work man, I had gotten new software recently to remaster and master my songs and though the compression and dynamics worked it was still missing something in the EQ department (from my bad ears in the studio on the mixing the EQ settings), but this technique makes it a million times easier! I recently remastered some tracks and the tracks sound incredible dude. Even through the TV which I could never do before is get the vocals to sound like they do on headphones. Much much appreciated bro this is why we as musicians are forever students in life I've been playing and songwriting since 1994-1995 and man still learning, lol. ✌

      A lot of making E standard sound so heavy is palm mute techniques and pick attack. You'll need an 11-49 or 10-52 set of strings to pull it off. Can do it with any amp or guitar.
      Also has alot to do with just your fingers, it's why Ola sounds exactly the same no matter what amp or plug-ins or pedals he uses.

    Sounds good, but those "Standard E" Sylosis riffs that Josh is known for were all recorded with a "Gowin-modded" Marshall. He switched to the Peavey 6505+ once he tuned down a step.. but he also blended a Krankenstein with a lot of those newer riffs. It would just make more sense to have included a modded Marshall and Krankenstein.

  • @p4fizzle
    @p4fizzle Před rokem

    Just spent a couple of hours on it. It's amazing! Best Rectifier plugin I've used personally. The AMAZING part is you can select all the channels (Clean,Crunsh etc) on the same amp interface!!! The fact STL took his personal hardware and replicated it is just fantastic. So you genuinely have Josh Middleton's actual gear sound. It's also my first try on a Peavy XXX. I've always wanted to have a go on those EQ knobs as they're basically like a 3 band EQ. It's really decent. Are they "better" than amps in other STL or Nueral plugins? Maybe not, but the fact it's not just a generic sound AND the amp interface is basically the actual amp is brilliant.
    I will also say it's worth listening to what Josh says about paring the cabs and mics to get the best tones from it all. The EQ and the OD with the HPF and LPF take a bit of understanding. His ODs are based on the Maxon808 and the Tempest OD.

    i'm one of those guys using plugins live! i use archetype nolly in mainstage. logic sends midi control changes to mainstage to turn effects on/off from the click track. no amps on stage, we play with iems, and sound the same from gig to gig. it's great. no hooking up power to a floorboard modeller, can program tones from my daw, no tap-dancing, can control more than an fcb1010's buttons worth of effects (cover band.. use lots of different effects).

    The best plugin on the market in my opinion. Very little option paralysis and every preset has a place in various metal mixes. Really the only one that truly feels like a real amp and stands up against a Kemper, axe fx, etc. - The neural stuff is cool, but I can never really get it to sit right in a mix and feels slightly off.
