Thanks, that's EXACTLY the kind of advice I was looking for!
[EDITED TO ADD:] I should mention, my goal for this recording isn't to sell on iTunes or anything (hah). It's just to have something that I can show my friends that they'll be impressed with. I'm thinking if it goes really well I might even make a music video too and put it on Youtube, and then just bask in the glory of how cool the whole accomplishment makes me feel.
Layering is IMO very overrated and overblown. And I have a feeling it's gonna get really ugly with layering fake guitar tracks. Focus on getting two great rhythm tracks and panning them wide. That's two separate tracks. Not the same one copied and pasted. Two unique tracks, pan them wide. If you track a good sound, you won't need a bunch of layers mucking things up. Any little extra stuff can be added in the middle or a little off center.
Have you looked into recording at 1 watt? It is highly detailed. You are not blasting the microphone to bits. Plenty of tube break up is available for 90's grunt.
I line up the microphone to the amplifier and listen through the PA mixer to find the best sounding angle. Then out the PA to the interface.

My response is directly related to his issues. Please.
I suggested recording at lower watt levels , when he had issue with volume.
He wanted to find out how to place the microphone . I suggested using a powered mixer to aid in finding the best placement.
I have nothing to add to other contributors comments.

It was a great run for mark (if that is his real name). Comes a point when a members neg rep is -7724609 that it might be time to go to sleep. Maybe a week off will chill the savage bot?
Or at least learn to read before posting...
Hey!
Is this the thread about the best mic for opera?
I like that idea. My only worry is not finding a sound I like among the VSTs, I'd probably just use what Adobe includes in Audition. Do you happen to have an opinion on Adobe's included guitar amp VSTs?
From there I'm going into a Zoom G1XN multi-FX pedal, then straight into a Yamaha MR1642 preamp mixer, then using an XLR-to-USB cable into my fairly new Macbook Pro, which is running Adobe Audition.
Most good sim packages like Guitar Rig or Revalver or Amplitube have demo versions you can check out.
