3. When choosing the right amp for a metal guitar rig, we knew that a high-gain channel is paramount. But even the heaviest of metal can still feature crystal-clear clean tones as well. So though there are plenty of incredible single-channel metal guitar amplifiers, for this roundup we picked guitar amps that featured multiple channels, an effects.

This is the first preset of the Guitar Rig 5 Metal Presets Series and I am going share with you my 1st custom guitar rig metal preset, using the Van 51 amp or simply the 5150 amp.

This preset can be used in a mix, as you can see in the video, but to tell you the truth it needed lots of post-process to make it work.

Important:Just because I will share the exact settings of each plugin does not mean that you will need to follow blindly the settings on each mix of yours. Plus, if you’re going to use the exact settings for a different project with your own guitar chances are that your sound will differ (guitar wood and new strings do alter the sound). You can download and import your preset if you like and my recommendation is to use it as a starting point and go from there. Feel free to share your presets or ask for presets here. Have fun!

Post-Processing

You can easily jam with the preset and the cab that I shared above.

You don’t need to dig that deep (that even Adele can’t roll) to the sound if you just want to jam and have some fun.

If you want to make the guitar to work in the mix then keep on reading!

I needed some extreme processing to make the preset sit in the mix but I finally made it.

You may see some plugins that you may not own but that’s really not a problem, since you can use stock EQs and compressors to get the job done.

The reason I am using them is because I am used to their workflow, feel free to use the plugins that you are familiar with.

The Plugin Chain

Here I compressed some of the low mids, to make the palm mutes tighter and more consistent in volume.

I used my stock multi-band compressor plugin, you can use yours it does not matter which plugin, as long as you can compress a specific frequency band.

I removed the low and high end to leave room for the bass and the hats. I also removed some annoying resonances.

Guitar Rig 5 User Presets

I boosted some high mids at 3k (4db in this case) and a 2db at 200khz to give some body.

Then I removed some mud with a narrow Q and removed some high end.

Finally a compressor to kick in only during palm mutes (maximum 1db of Gain Reduction)

And some final limiting to kill some transients that’d got nothing musical to offer, just stealing headroom. Maximum 1db of GR.

Final Thoughts

As you can see the chain here is pretty overwhelming. The fact that we’re using all these plugins though does not mean that it’s too much.

In most of our plugins in this chain, we’re using minimum process with 1db differences. These subtle changes can help the guitar cut through the mix better.

We did use lots of EQ unfortunately cause that’s the problem with the digital guitar amps. We need to cut lots of annoying resonances to make them mixable (if there’s a word like this).

As mentioned in the beginning, this is not a “holy” chain that should be followed blindly. Always trust your ears.

Right now I am in the middle of researching amp software that can give us a commercial sound with less post-process, wish me luck, I’ll keep you updated!

Since GUITAR RIG 5 the preset database structure has changed. GUITAR RIG 5 uses a tag-based preset browser to facilitate sound administration.

Note: To access a GUITAR RIG 5 preset database with more than one computer, it is recommended to use the GUITAR RIG 5 default installation paths and folders.

First, make sure your different systems fulfill the requirements listed below:

• The same version of GUITAR RIG 5 (eg. GUITAR RIG 5.1.1) must be installed on both computers. Start Service Center or alternatively log into the Native Instruments Website and go to Support > Updates to update to the latest version of your software.
• Both computers must have the same operating system installed (eg. Windows 7).
• The name of the system drive must be identical on both machines (eg. ‘C’ drive).
• Both computers must have the EXACT same user name. In the below example the user name is ‘Support’. Your computer’s user name is listed under: Control Panel>User Accounts and Family Safety>User Account
  

Sharing a GUITAR RIG 5 Database with Different Computers

If you have verified that the above criteria applies for both systems, follow the below steps to share a GUITAR RIG 5 database with different computers:

1. Copy the folder named ‘Guitar Rig 5’ located under the below path to a USB stick or external hard drive: C:>Users>*username*>AppData>Local>Native Instruments>Guitar Rig 5

   Note: In order to view the folder “AppData”, you need to make hidden folders visible. Read this article to learn more.

2. On your second computer, place the folder ‘Guitar Rig 5’ in exact same location (C:>Users>*username*>AppData>Local>Native Instruments>Guitar Rig 5) so that the folder locations on both computers are identical.
3. Copy the GUITAR RIG 5 ‘Sounds’ folder containing your user presets to your second computer (via USB stick or external hard drive). The default installation path of the ‘Sounds’ folder is: C:>Users>*username*>Documents>Native Instruments>Guitar Rig 5>Sounds
   

Your custom presets and tags are now available on both computers.
