Do anyone have any suggestions on how to create the pad sound used by the thrillseekers in:

Ferry Corsten feat.Thrillseekers - Sublime
8 Wonders - The Morning After (The Thrillseekers Remix)

It seems like overdrive is what makes it sound like that...
Try overdriving some normal pads.

No way. I'm not sure how my sample sounds since I made it quite lofi but it certainly isn't a guitar.

I just gave it a try here and could get it. Its really an overdrived pad. Not a pure supersaw pad, but a square one.
Get a square pad goin, EQ it to cut out the lower and very higher freqs, pu on reverb/delay and the usual pad stuff, then make a heavy overdrive on the final signal, but muffle it slightly so it dun sounds too harsh/agressive (or u could EQ after the overdrive, to reduce the sibilance), and u hav your sound :)

I did it with Pro-53 and the normal fruity plugins, except for overdrive (used Mda Overdrive)

can you post a sample?
NicklessGuy
I could, but i dun hav a place to host it...
But like i said, its simple. Just get a normal supersaw pad patch on Pro-53, change it to square form (maybe a synced wav/sqr for a tweak), turn the unison/analog a bit down, make the usual stuff (reverb, EQ and such), and overdrive it.

Only thing i forgot, is that u might need a filter after the overdrive effect. So open the Pro-53 cuttof and use this other filter instead, otherwise, the overdrive will act after the in-built pro-53 filter and make some sibilance even if u close it.

This will give u the same color of that sound. Then its just a matter of fine tuning to mix it down.

This is as close as I cared to get it. About 20 minutes of work. Pulse + Saw, filtered at about 50% cutoff. Filter envelopes had a long gradual attack, zero sustain, and a long decay and release. Amplifier envelopes had a short but smooth attack, long decay, zero sustain, long release. Frequency and Pulsewidth modulation were controlled by the LFO with a very high frequency. Finally, reverb, stereo separation, distortion, and overdrive were used to give it some added grit.
