Hey there! I tought it would have been cool to start a thread about how you got the guitar sound on your recording!
how it works: post here a descriptions of what amps , guitars, and notes on your settings, or special recording methods that you used and post a link where we can hear the results of the process! (final songs, demos or draft , whatever you want!)
I guess i m gonna get it started with how i recorded guitars for my band.
Amps: Fender supersonic head, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier
Guitars: Ibanez ORM1 (Omar Rodriguez Lopez Signature), Gibson Les Paul Classic, Fender Stratocaster standard
Notes: Most of the rhytm guitar was made with the fender supersonic head, using the bassman channel, with the ibanez guitar. That guitar has got a particular minihumbucker, very similar to the jb,but a little sharper. I would say it has got enough twang to remind a telecaster, but it has a better punch in the mids and not so high treble, and everything sounds a little more fat than it would on a tele. my basic sound was delivered by using the clean channel of the head and pushing it at the maximum volume, so no distortion pedals, no amp distortions or other shit, pure tube saturation!.
We later dubbed some rhytm with a gibson les paul classic and a mesa boogie dual rectifier, to give more punch and a darker sound where needed. In some cases, we even used some drop D and C tuning on the les paul.
We used the les paul and mesa also for most of the cleaner parts, because it sounded a littel darker, but in some points we added some fender strat (on a clean fender bassman channel) to get some brighter attack, or the single coil twang feel.
All the record was played a half step lower (or how do you say it in english? ahah)
