Guitarist Nick Granville showcases the Double Special Signature Collection using a variety of tracks recorded entirely in the box. Starting with layered clean and driven guitar parts, he demonstrates how the Tone Models sit in a mix before diving into individual presets and tone shaping.
Throughout the video, Granville highlights the collection's dynamic response, touch sensitivity, and tonal range, from clean funk rhythms to saturated lead tones. Have a look.
What you'll learn:
- How Double Special Tone Models sound in a full mix
- How tones respond to pick attack and guitar volume
- How to shape sounds using effects, IRs, and software controls
- The difference between clean, funk, jazz, and driven tones
- How boosted tones with TS-style and Klon-style pedals behave
It's very dynamic and very expressive. It's responding like a real amp in a lot of ways.
In terms of plug-ins, IK Multimedia have knocked this one out of the park.
