I like the sound of the bass wah dragging the beat a bit. I actually like the sound of this better than using the real bass signal.ĭIG DELAY – a basic delay modelled as a rack unit in Amplitube. PITCH-12 – Pitchproof, a free VST plugin does a decent job of dropping a guitar to bass. WAH & AUTO WAH – Amplitube’s basic wah has a great tone with either manual or auto control. JETCITY JCA100H & METAL T2 – my preferred amp/cab combo for this song. If the delay changes randomly over time, it better simulates the sound of multiple musicians. HARM+5th – takes the guitar root note and generates power cords (5ths).ĪDT – a process of creating one more more delayed versions of the input signal. Amplitube permits dual mic’ing a cab, which is great for capturing a wider range of tone. ORANGE AD200 & OBD 115 – modelled bass amp and 15” cab. By using an EQ between two compressors, you can indirectly control which frequencies get how much compression. SOFTWAREĬOMP & GR-EQ – Compressor and 7-band equalizer. An audio interface, MIDI foot controller and expression pedal are the only other hardware needed. HARDWAREĪ EHX nanoPOG is used to generate the dry guitar signal. This allows audio routing not possible with Amplitube alone. Brainspawn Forte is used as a VST host to permit multiple instances of Amplitube. Let’s talk a bit about the digital modelling.Īll effects and amp modelling comes from Amplitube. high frequency guitar wah (panned hard right).low frequency guitar wah (panned hard left).primary distorted rhythm gutar (center with some stereo delay separation).Can you pick out each instrument in the rhythm section? If you’ve got good ears, try listening with headphones. There is quite a bit of modelling going on here and I’m still able to achieve low-latency on an ageing laptop (Intel Core2Duo). However just to drive the point home I played the lead on my bass, again using only VST software to produce the lead guitar tone. Since I’m by myself in the studio today, for completeness the lead guitar was recorded as an overdub. To simulate a live performance, the drummer (a backing track) and my audio interface are sent to a PA mixer, and the mix is recorded off the board, just like at a show. The intent here is to showcase how software VSTs can be used for Live performance, so absolutely no audio post-processing is performed on the track you hear. This leaves it entirely up to me as the bass player to provide all the rhythm guitars! Man In The Box is known for having challenging vocal parts, and my bands singer prefers to limit his guitar work to a few lead fills here to concentrate on the vocal performance.
