Get Brian May's Tone From Queen with ToneX and AmpliTube Tutorial

This is a long one and no apologies for the clickbait title.

I get asked variants of this question on social media and usually folks use me as a sounding board for talking into them into a particular package of  ‪@ikmultimedia‬  's AmpliTube and ToneX.

Here' the news - I'm only going to recommend the full version of AmpliTube as that's what I use and that's what I need to do my films and gigs.

So in this epic film I'm going to show you how I create a setting that has the core essence of Brian May's guitar tone. I'll also show you how my live settings are built so you can see what can be done.

For most of the film the sound is recorded in the room. The part on my live set up is direct to disk.

I also address my dyed eyebrows. Middle age brings many curses...
