Just 2 guitars tracks, hard-panned each, same guitar but slight EQ changes on the SE between the 2.
Just plain guitars for now... i'll try those in a mix later...
By the way my playing totally sucked ass big time, don't mind the sloppiness... I hope some of you guys will recognize the songs i jammed with
p.s: désolé pour l'anglais mais je vais poster ce truc sur d'autres sites non-francophones et j'ai la flemme de traduire donc...
EDIT :
-one riff played with different cab/speakers/mic combinations - guitar tone only
-punk rock-ish riffs with different cab/speakers/mic combinations - guitar tone in a mix context
-one riff played with different cab/speakers/mic combinations - guitar tone only (with Torpedo built-in EQ feature) : see the 3 clips posted on 20091209 :
- New clips (dual-tracked guitars, hard-panned on each side, in a mix context, still shitty old strings though), see the 2009-12-11 samples below (details included) :
- New clips (dual-tracked guitars, hard-panned on each side, in a mix context and solo-ed, brand new strings this time, Torpedo built-in EQ changes to cut less lows/low mids/body and increase the mids/highs attack/agressivity/sharpness), see the 2009-12-17 samples below (details included) :
- New clips (dual-tracked guitars, hard-panned on each side, in a mix context and solo-ed, brand new strings this time, Torpedo built-in EQ & Exciter changes to cut even less lows/low mids/body and increase the mids/highs attack/agressivity/sharpness) + MD421 mic test + other songs snippets, see the 2009-12-20 samples below (details included) : (EDIT : posted new clips with improved mix (less guitars, less overheads, more bass) IMO on 2010-02-15)

Clips (one with the full mix, one with guitars only) and detailed signal chain info can be found here :
Compared to my previous clips from 2009-12-22 (the ones using the ENGL412V30 cab + Blue Dragonfly Condenser mic), the differences are the following :
* the master volume on my amp is slightly higher
* i dropped the Exciter value significantly on the torpedo, since it was adding too much junk to the tone
* no post-EQ on guitars (not even HP-LP) in Cubase this time
