Hi,
I was using Tube preamp emulation + tone controls as part of my guitar set
up but I can't get any meaty drive out of it any more. I just did a
re-install from fc3 to fc4 planet ccrma. I run the pluggin in jack-rack,
connected directly to the inputs. I have a meter on the same input and the
signal seems hot. I had a lead sound with the gain setting at about 8 but
now even on 10, I just get a slight crunch. Anybody got and suggestions ?
If you want lots of crunch, run the singnal through the "Barry's Satan
Maximizer" plugin, followed by the fast-lookahead limiter before you
send it to the preamp-emulator plugins. For added effect you can place
a valve saturation plugin between the limiter and preamp as well.
Be careful how hard you push the maximizer, it only takes a little to
get a very dramatic effect.
