Reamping Metal Guitars…Through A Practice Amp??

I love reamping metal guitars in the studio.  

It’s sometimes fun to try ridiculous recording techniques just to see what happens (like when I tried putting my drum room mic BEHIND an Ikea shelf…and now do it on every drum session I tackle!). 

Well, this time around I’ll be reamping some guitar tracks through my old 90’s Crate GFX series solid-state practice amp.  The practice amp of my youth. 

No amp modeling. 

Or guitar sims.

Absolutely no tubes in sight.

Just the solid-state bedroom practice amp I’d riff through as a highschooler. 

In this video, not only will you get to hear how this cheapo amp holds up in a real production..

You’ll hear just how much mic placement can make or break your guitar tone. 

Moving a microphone just half an inch can completely change your distorted guitar tone and I demonstrate this fact in my latest video. Minuscule moves in microphone placement can make a world of difference in your tone.

In this video, I’ll be reamping metal guitars through my outdated practice amp…let’s see how it turns out.

Load it into your favorite amp sim plugin and get right to dialing in killer metal guitar tone with ease.
