Looking for tips

Hi guys,

I'm recording my guitar with two pairs of KSM141, and the sounds that its came out without any compression its good.

But I'm wondering what kind of compression, plugins, reverbs you guys use so far.

Thx

Generally, you don't want to compress distorted guitars but I see that you didn't mention anything about distortion so you're on the right track.

Pretty much any reverb VST out there is gonna be just as good as the next.
You're gonna want an EQ, any generic 'verb, a compressor (for clean/acoustic sounds and only if needed).
That should get you started. What would really help us help you is if we knew what kinda sound you were going for.
Perhaps you have a favorite artist with a particular guitar sound/tone that you would like to emulate to get you started?

First of all thanks for answer so fast!

I didn't mention that I'm trying to record acoustic guitars, let me put my scenario.

I usually use Pro-Tools or Nuendo, but the process its almost the same, I open two Mono-Channels one for the left and one for the right, and I record the guitar on them, until this point I think I'm good (Hopefully)

But I like a sound a little bit more clean and metallic.

One example of the sound that I'm really trying to achieve can compare with this song

Once again, thanks!
