its anyone familiar with the setup and recording of the guitars for the old pantera albums?

cowboys/vulgar display of power

anyone knows how did he get that sharp heavy distorted but articulated sound?

i know he used dean guitars with bin lawrence pickups. and randall amps
but i read somewhere he used a non tube amplifier. ?

anyone?

I'm looking to expand my guitar rig some gear. Mostly a preamp/effects unit such as a Rocktron Prophesy, and a good power amp. I am just worried about changing settings on it. Basically switching from clean to distortion to a lead channel type thing.

Ok, so my guitarist is absolutely in love with the distortion he gets out of his small 15 watt fender amp. so heres the problem, how to work the fender amp distortion into his pedal board so that the sound could be router either to the fender amp and then through the rest of his effects, or around the fender amp and straight to his effects pedals.

If you could have any 2 heads and any 2 cabinets in your studio, what would it be, and why?

Same question, but for bass this time, what would you choose and why?

alright..i am trying to decide the best option for recording my guitar amp.
I have been messing around trying to find a solid sound but I am not sure what type of mic / positioning i need to aI'm for. Let me tell you what I am using and you all can tell me what to do/not to do.

I have a couple questions for some gurus out there.

First of all, what is the best way to mix two guitar tracks when they are both playing melodic lines (a la Killswitch Engage, Trivium etc)

Should they be panned to the extreme left and right or maybe halfway, or between half and extreme?

I personally would never feel right about recording a guitarist on a solid state amp on any recording. I don't care if Dimebag did it, I like his riffs but I never did like his tone really. The sound of a miced up tube amp is unmatched.

My absolute favorite combo to record is the Bogner 1x12.

does anyone know what guitar and amp was used for the first evanesence CD, and how many times it was doubled, and maybe even the mic and pre was used. That sound is amazing and thick.

thanks peops

ok i got my guitar buh my amp broke. is ther any thin else that works like a amp. .? please help me out..

Hey all,

Just wanting to hear everyones thoughts on their preffered method of recording heavily distorted electric guitar (lets say a marshall JCM2000 stack) in the studio.

What are your preffered mic options and why?

How do you all get a phat crunchy guitar sound..EQ/layering/panning etc?

Would be good to hear some suggestions as I have a project coming up.
