Ableton Forum

I am looking for a way to improve my live guitar sound in ableton live.

Due to stability and performance reasons I do not want to use any external plugins or amp simulators but the built in effects to improve the sound. -> make it a bit warmer, wider, more striking, kind of .. nothing special just a nice clean sound for my telecaster custom deluxe '70

i know this heavily depends on the personal taste but still I'd like to hear what kind of effects you like to chain up on your direct guitar input. Any recommendations?

I imagine the onboard EQ, compressor, overdrive and delay would be enough to make your tone a little nicer than direct-in'ing it.

Also, (and this is sort of a different way of doing it from what you're probably looking for), using pedals before the actual signal goes into Ableton would be a possibility, too - zero performance hit, and it's pretty hard to crash a stompbox (not impossible, however ).
