To
sound like me it's necessary to duplicate my technique.
Another unique aspect of guitar tone is created by the
physical characteristics of the guitar pick, unamplified
guitar, and guitar electronics."
POD
xt Live
First,
I'll explain about the amp and effects. I use a POD
xt Live which plugs directly into a mixing console.
If you're using a POD, you can install the exact
patch that I created for The Complete Basic Course.
The patch includes the amp, cabinet, effects, and all
of the settings. To duplicate my setup in your POD,
download the patch here: Patch

member Tim Ray adapted this same patch for the Pocket
Pod: Patch

The
POD xt Live emulates various amplifiers, cabinets,
and effects. When the patch is installed in a POD
xt Live you can open the Live Editor program
on your computer and see all of my tone settings.

I'm
using a Sure SM57 mic close to the speaker. The overdrive/distortion
box is an Ibanez Tube Screamer emulation. You'll notice
a noise gate, digital delay line, and reverb. The amplifier
(Line 6 Treadplate) and speaker cabinet are modeled
after a Mesa Boogie amp. Here's the description from
the manual: "...modeled after a 1994 Mesa Boogie®
Dual Rectifier Tremoverb®. You can use this Amp
Model to get that tight, high gain sound used by bands
like Dream Theater or Metallica."
The
dark effects aren't activated.
