Guitar recording > EQ in Winamp

[TheTick]

Yeah, that is a good idea. When you blend different amps, do you use the same signal for each one of them, e.g. split the guitar signal into those two amps or do you record two tracks with two amps? That does not only thicken the track, because of minor difference in the two tracks, but also gives it two different sounds, I guess.

@MetalHead: What kind of cabs do you prefer? Did you say you used less gain than live? Why is that?

Greetz!!!

yes, considerbly less "gain" than live... not nec. less volume, though... you need the speakers and the Cab to get groovin... and for the love of god, no presence knob. heh. how many times have i said that? not enough, it seems... check out http://www.badmuckingfastard.com/sound/slipperman.html
if you haven't already. lengthy read, but has some stuff in it worth knowing, esp mic placement techniques...

I split the same guitar signal into multiple amps. I suggest a Radial engineering JD7 or a Morley tripler, even though there may be many more devices to accomplish this. You might try to isolate each one, or not, it can work either way. As far as cabs go - I use a Marshall 1960A cab and also a Marshall 2 x 12 cab - I can't remember the model number...yes I prefer marshall cabs!! The reason for less gain is to keep the sound clear and defined, you definitely still want it loud though! You will see what I mean as soon as you start stacking multiple tracks together - you won't want to record with very high gain ever again! Also, when using multiple amps you want to go with a little different tone (even though that is going to happen anyway because 2 amps won't sound the same) so that they each use up their own little part of the full spectrum and aren't stepping on each other. You know, use one to give a nice midrange roar, and one to fill out the bottom - that sort of thinking. Experiment, after doing a little of this you will figure out alot more! If you don't want to or can't record multiple amps together, don't forget about Re-Amping!
