Setting Up HXDA Type Amp

[Mark Barton]

Yes I use an OX with a 100w Archon. As pac90 says... the attenuator enables you to work both gain and master to get a lot more tone variation without having to work within the first few degrees of arc ;-). It seems to be very transparent in this role. Next you have the digital modelling of the cabinet, mic, room and some outboard FX - this part is truly awesome - I use in two ways: headphones for silent practice... but the real treat is to send the direct out into a stereo amp and add some ambience and buy volume emulation to your amp tone. Lastly it is the best recording interface I have yet heard that doesn’t involve all the hassle of real hardware and rooms. Audition one - they are really good IMHO!

So I posted this link in response to the MT-15 thread, but really it belongs here, because the amp used on this song is the HXDA on all guitar tracks, clean, crunch and overdriven. The only pedals are a little delay, and a wah on the (two cats fighting in a bag) guitar solo. The little intro snippet is the HXDA through a Moog filter during mixdown.

The song is Waves of Blue. First band for me in a long time.

Sounds great. Even on my crappy iPad speakers!

Must proof read posts : “buy volume” was meant to be something about big cab or room emulation or something like that. Anyway it sounds very good is what I’m getting at.

Thanks! I’ll pass along the compliment to my bandmate!

I remixed Waves of Blue to clean up a few little details and reset the link in my post.
