Shreddage 3 Jupiter - Free Metal Rhythm Guitar Tone (TSC, Emissary, Catharsis IR), MIDI and Snapshot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- I decided to try to somewhat replicate the rhythm guitar tone from my recent power metal project using only free plugins. I included a snapshot for S3 Jupiter as well which works with the MIDI I included.
Note that normally I keep the palm mute tightness knob at 0 but the fast repetitions here needed some extra tightness to sound clear.
Also, if you want the MIDI to work, you need to bind the hand position knob in Shreddage to CC2 (I think the snapshot doesn't include this).
What you need:
- Kontakt 6.8.0 or higher (I used this version to save the snapshot, the Free Kontakt Player should work as well for loading custom snapshots)
- TSC 1.1 (Mercuriall)
- Ignite Emissary Bundle (STL Tones)
- NadIR (included in the above) or any IR loader
- Catharsis IR pack (I think I got mine from PluginFox)
- ReaEQ and ReaXcomp from the free ReaPlugs pack, although any EQ and multiband compressor will do the trick
- REAPER if you want to load the FX chain directly
Here's a link to the MIDI, Kontakt snapshot and the REAPER FX Chain:

PS. If you're wondering about the ridiculous low shelf EQ after the tube screamer, I was trying to replicate the low end tightening of the Grind pedal in Fortin Nameless Suite which is what I originally used in the project. Adjust to taste if you feel like you want to retain more low end.
In hindsight I may have gone overboard with the pre-amp low shelf EQ and the post-cab low mids cut. Adjust to taste and the context of your mix!
Love this! Mix context matters so much with rhythm guitar tone
Wow, thank you so much for this, Tremendouz. I really appreciate this! My main wish was to see you making a song (or could be a cover song) with Shreddage products alongside with the free guitar tone please but I think this won't happen. I'd also the lead guitar settings as well.
Watching me make a song for 5+ hours or something without talking wouldn't be very useful and also very boring 😄
For lead guitar, I used Ample Guitar VC and the tone was quite weird: I used Overloud TH-U and its Metalzone emulation and a clean amp afterwards. I suppose you could do something similar with the free Metalzone plugin from Mercurial and the clean channel of Emissary or some other amp, but I haven't tried that.
That said, TSC + Emissary + Catharsis IR with default settings is already a good starting point for a lead tone
@@Tremendouz Hello, thanks for the response. I personally wouldn't find it boring to watch you for 5 hours or so without talking. I just wanted to see your overall process of making a song with MIDI guitars please because your covers + original songs sound so realistic to me and I've always wondered how does Tremendouz makes a song with these pugins. That's all I wanted to see, I don't have a problem of watching you for hours and hours trying to make something new because I like longer videos rather than short videos. Also, thanks for the lead guitar answer, I have all the plugins listed in your comment and i just need to use the techniques applied here.
@@sammpaul I do have one recorded stream where I quickly showed how I program my leads and rhythms with Ample guitar VC and SC but it started from a template with the guitar tones already included. I rarely use Shreddage for leads nowadays but the basic ideas still apply even if the workflow with the keyswitches is a little different, especially the way the slides work

@@Tremendouz Ok, thanks for sharing the stream. I wish you could do this more again please.
@@sammpaul Never say never but the problem with recording a longer project is that I usually have other things open that I check while working such as Discord and my email and that's something I wouldn't want to show on the stream.
Also, being aware that I'm recording myself tends to not be great for my creativity 😄
I know it's possible to only capture the DAW with OBS but if I do that, the MIDI editor will not be visible so I need to capture the whole screen which indeed shows everything I'm doing on the PC.
Not a bad tone, but I thought that the guitar is too “drowning” in the mix, and I recently started to use a real guitar + plugins from neural dsp, the sound turns out very good! But you are good!
Thanks! In my defense, I just took the finished mix and replaced the existing Fortin Nameless Suite tone with this so it doesn't admittedly sit in the mix as well as the original tone, although I played around some more after uploading the video and it turns out that lowering the volume of the guitar a bit as well as reducing the low cut(s) glues it better with the backing track
For context, here's the original mix (with a bit different bass sound too)

@@Tremendouz Sounds really good, I loved it!
@@Jojtsu Thanks!
Nice tone ! I'm looking for good Guitar sounds
Thanks! With the other Shreddage guitars I'd be less heavy-handed with the low shelf EQ before the amp but Jupiter really benefits from tightening the low end
