Good Alternative Rock Tone
Hello Pro Tools Community!
I’ve recently begun experimenting with recording as my band wants to start working on an album. I’ve got some pretty good mixes going but I can’t get a guitar tone that isn’t too distorted or not distorted enough. My “sound goal” - I love the guitar tone in this: https://youtu.be/h3VbquoyZ4w My equipment - I’m recording in the latest version of Pro Tools First I’m recording through a Scarlet Solo audio interface through the DI. I purchased the Eleven MKII amp sim, and I use a Boss ME80 pedal board. What I’ve tried (recording methods) - I’ve plugged the pedalboard directly into the DI on the AI, I’ve tried doing the previously listed and running it through a clean amp with the MKII sim, and I’ve tried plugging the guitar into the DI and using the amo sim only. Suggestions on getting a similar tone? Thank you so much! |
Re: Good Alternative Rock Tone
I would use either the pedal board or the plugin but not both at the same time. Choose an amp and dial in the amount of drive you want and don't add any distortion pedal in front. Research on the gear that was used in that recording you are referencing. Double track and pan hard LR

I came up with this tone, and it sounds really good imo, but I haven't been able to recreate it and I didn't save it anywhere. I just know it was done using the MKII plugin. |
Re: Good Alternative Rock Tone
Maybe this can help understand the tone controls on a guitar amp, it's a tutorial about clean tones but it explain more than that
