Hello Gents,
On many of the early 80's classic metal albums there is something on the guitar tracks I'm struggling to identify. It may be a recording technique but I lean more toward some form of outboard gear or trick during mix. Strange sizzle in the upper frequencies. It is found on Sabbath's Heaven and Hell, Maiden's Beast, Dios' Holy Diver, and other classics. In particular producer/engineer Martin Birch often utilized this effect.
It is demonstrated in the attached guitar stem from the Holy Diver release.
Any ideas or thoughts as to what this is ??
