Lead and Heavy also benefit from the 4×12 configuration to produce variations on heavy metal grit in the Mesa-Boogie Rectifier zone. The Rock amp offers classic rock a la Marshall-here the 4×12 cabinet is suggested. Boost mode will put you in the Vox area, especially with the 2×12 cabinet setting. For traditional jazz you might want to change the microphone from Condenser to Dynamic, eliciting a warmer tone. If you primarily do clean funky rhythm work, set the amp type to Clean (read: Roland JC-120) and stick with the cabinet default settings. Into the area that reads, “Drop Audio Effects Here,” drag the Amp and Cabinet plug-ins. If you have bytes to burn, you can, of course, use the rack on as many tracks as you like.ĭrag and drop an Audio Effects Rack into the Guitar input track and click on its icon with the three dots and three parallel lines. By routing this affected input to any track that requires guitar, you can avoid multiple instances of the rack, saving CPU. This is where you will install the amp and effect modeling rack. First create a track and call it Guitar input. You are likely to find yourself using this rig on a variety of projects, so to make access easy, let’s set up an Audio Effects Rack containing everything you need. Let me show you how to build a software amp and effects rig that will have you thinking twice before throwing that SM-57 in front of your amplifier. Combining these two plug-ins with a few others-some included in basic Live, some available free on the interweb-you can dial up “virtually” any guitar sound. Fear not-if you bought the Live Suite, you can get a gamut of amp and effect sounds without any further spending by using the Amp and Cabinet plug-ins included with the DAW. But having just depleted your piggy bank for Ableton Live, you may not be ready to shell out another hundred or two for amp modeling software. Plug-ins like Native Instruments’ Guitar Rig and IK Multimedia’s Amplitube evoke the essence of Fender, Vox, Marshall, and more.
Amp modeling now offers such realism and convenience it requires a special occasion to mic up an actual combo or stack.
