Ok, so heres what I got.
Mesa single rectifier with mesa cabinet
line 6 pod xt live
Presonus firebox
I've been playing around with all of my gear for a while now and i still cant seem to find the right tone that im looking for. Im looking for a hardcore tone like The devil wears prada, underoath, august burns red...something like that.
When I mic my mesa i get this gross airy tone. It doesnt sound good at all. Im not sure if its the mic that im using or if im micing it wrong somehow. Ive tried a dynamic mic and a condenser mic but they both have the same effect. Is it where im micing it that could be the problem? Or should I just buy an instrument mic and see how that works?
My pod xt live is a different story...Theres no good sounds on the this thing at all! I've been playing with it almost a year now. Ive downloaded the the gearbox sofware for it and I STILL cant get anything close to worthy of recording. Am i hooking things up wrong?
Give me your opinions please!
