My SG gets a badass tone with this settings: Heavy Guitar Tone how to – TSE X50 v1.0.2 settings – click to enlarge If you remember my post on guitar amp simulators comparison, I used an old X50 version and it was already really good for me, then I modified the post with the new version and I realized how much better it sounded. If your target is an aggressive distortion, it won’t let you down. Even this plugin recently got a new release: a must.

TSE X50 is a free VST clone of the famous and “evil” Peavey 5150, massively used in extreme metal. For this tutorial I set it this way: Heavy Guitar Tone how to – TSE 808 v2.0 settings This is exactly what we need to give to our tone the right amount of grit before sending the signal to the amp, on palm muting it will be a blast.

The TSE TS808 is a good quality tube driver emulator, don’t think about it as a poor quality plugin just because it’s free, I found really few ones like this, moreover a brand new release has been recently released, and trust me, it sounds even better.

Let’s have a more detailed look to the VST chain. Please remember to enable it, or it would be hard to hear you playing 🙂 Another really important point to stress is to remember to enable monitoring, otherwise you’re not gonna hearing anything from your speakers! On Reaper mixer find the little button on the right of the track volume fader and click it. I just loaded the “rhythm guitar” preset tweaking a bit the threshold, the noise disappeared. It turned out mandatory for me to add a gate at the end, Reaper’s ReaGate to be precise, because of the annoying noise coming from my SG cheap pickup, that was amplified by the VST chain. Insert them following exactly this order in your VST chain. Let’s move forward: create a new track and insert these FREE plugins: I recorded some chords and some palm muted parts for this tutorial and, I mean, remember I’m not a guitar player, so forgive me! I use Reaper but you can apply all the concepts to whatever DAW you like. I’m not a guitar player, not at all, I play every now and then guitar just to remember some riffs and record them quickly, with my cheap SG guitar (I bought it some years ago for about 100€ on ebay), B drop tuned with some awesome strings: RotoSound DarkZone. Moreover I use free plugin, not bad for your wallet, isn’t it?

There’s no right or wrong way to do it, this is how I like to do it, keeping it the simpliest I can. Let’s start saying that this tutorial is for those guys who are starting their first studio project and who are trying to have more from their guitar sound.

What more? Nothing, the problem is that you have to render it as you’re actually thinking about it. You want it aggressive, evil, distorted with great saturation and right EQ. While you’re recording your guitar during your home studio projects there’s something you want immediately right: your guitar tone.
