Hi there,
many of you wondered if this would be possible, mixing your favourite cab sounds together for the ultimate hybrid mix sound. Well, it is possible, and as far as i can say, it is awesome!!!
So how do you do it? Basically the setup is the same as with tone matching that is done with a DAW plugin. See this thread for explanation:
classic metal tones done with EQ matching
The idea is to change your amp signal into a target signaland then a create a profile. In the previous attempts the target signal has been a classic signature metal tone, found on a record or something. What i now tried to do is to use a KPA sound as a target. First you take a normal amp profile with the KPA, which will be your "source" sound. After you have this profile inside your KPA, exchange the cab to something you would like as a target.
Now, use the tonematching as known. Record a clip with the target sound inside your DAW, then record the same clip with your source amp sound. Then use ozone or any other tonematching plugin to match your source sound to the target. This will basically allow you to recreate a cab sound that you like. You can use this to even blend between your source sound and the target cab and take some profiles with some nice blended tones, since you dont habe to match 100%, settings like 50/50 will also give nice results.
The great thing is that you do not have to limit yourself to one audio track with one instance of tonematching. If you repeat the procedure on a second audio track and use a different target cab there, you can have both sounds at the time and mix them together to your liking. Thus you can create mixed profiles without any limits. Just did a quick test and mixed Till 1960 006, Tills Recto 055 and the G12K100 by r_u_serious. Metal mayhem!!!
