Terrible Weezer Cover

So I recorded a cover of Weezer's song In the Garage. Just wanna hear your opinions:

Shitty cover

I do enjoy that I mixed different guitar tones this time instead of just using different pickups.

Anyone wanna guess how many guitar tracks there are in that song?

I think it sounds quite good, nice little tune. I've never heard of the song before, might give it a listen.

I'm guessing you don't own the Blue Ablum.

Nah, i've got the green album but that's it. I should get a couple of their other albums, good band.

Blue and Pinkerton are their best works

Pinkerton and Blue Album are two of the best rock albums of the 90's.
It's a pretty good cover. The timing is off a bit at times with the lead guitar melody but the rhythm guitar riffs are pretty spot on. It's worse for a rhythm to be off than a lead, so it isn't too bad. The solo was pretty good as well. How did you record this so cleanly?

I plugged my Digitech pedal into the USB. Almost all of the guitars are doubled except for the solo.

Shit how much does it cost for one of those pedals

I have an RP250, but that's out of production, but the 255 is basically the same thing, and it's in a sexy black case, and it's about $149 on Musiciansfriend, which sounds like how much I payed for mine. It's a multieffects pedal.

Not too bad. Maybe I'll save up for one and get it.

There's a bass version at GC for $199: http://www.guitarcenter.com/DigiTech-BP355-Bass-Multi-Effects-Pedal-106372790-i1733744.gc?esid=bp355

yikes. more expensive D=

Can the guitar one get good drone and distortion?

If you play with the reverb and delay settings enough, I'm sure you can get a drone sound. Excluding the solo, that distortion was all on the pedal, though custom settings though.

Badass. I may have to invest in one of these...

I did record a cover of the Deftones Be Quiet and Drive, but my guitar tone sounded too muddy, so I might rerecord it with a different tone to see if my distortion was the problem.

A lot of the ringing notes that Deftones use in their songs can be tricky to get to sound good. I remember having problems playing Change (In the House of Flies) when I was a kid because the notes were easy; the sound was not.

Yeah, the opening chords which are also the ones for the chorus are hard to make it sound right.

Alright just uploaded it soundcloud for judging:

I only used 2 guitars instead of 4

Yeah something doesn't sound right there
The problem I think is that it probably won't ring the way it should since it's pretty much an input device and not an output one. Amps will have that organic ringing sound that just rely on feedback, know what I mean? Everything sounds great except for the opening.

Yeah, I half-assed the opening.

I might redo it with a different distortion tone and see if that clears it up. It usually doesn't sound this muddy.

dat weezer

dem tones

dem 64 guitar tracks

dat everything

you should sing though

or i could sing

i liek to sing

You actually liked the tone? It's from a First Act guitar.

it's all accurate and shit

little muddy, but it's a digitech, so i know that feel

I noticed the muddiness is due to my choice in mixing certain tones.
