Palm Mute Butch

try downloading Melda Productions VST package...it was free...

The VST's included are "mo better" than most of the stock VSTs I have on my
LE5

another I occasionally use is eMHORSE
it's great for beefing up guitars-

Realizing I'm feeding a troll, wouldn't that cause all sorts of nasty phasing issues?

not always. and there is no rules for recording if it gets the desire effect. Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

I join this news group today..... it seems you have a judgemental view for no reason. There are really no rules to go by with audio that it has to be only a certain way. Keep an open mind.

I have an open mind, but ridiculous "advice" needs to be pointed out to help newbies who might otherwise be steered wrong by someone like you. You've been polluting the forum with wrong/bad/ridiculous information since you joined. Enjoy your time out.

No, I mean, using the same signal with zero time offset and different equalization is a recipe for phasing problems - this isn't "thinking outside the box" or "using your ears" or anything like that as much as straight acoustical physics. Equalization is essentially carefully controlled phase cancellation, and when you start running separate equalizers on two parallel channels of a 100% in-phase signal, you're running the risk of introducing some WEIRD phasing artifacts. Can you do it? Possibly... But I'd certainly make a point of mono-summing the whole mix for phase compatibility to make sure you were't introducing more problems down the line, and this certainly wouldn't be my first recommendation for the OPs problem.

His writing style may not be for everyone, but this is an absolute goldmine of information, and the impetus for the whole thing was how to deal with large volume swings on "chugs" on the guitars.

Slipperman's Recording Distorted Guitars From Hell

Any number of potential issues and solutions to your problem, most of which you can find in that link, but you might want to start by rolling off the bass on either your amp/modeler or simply high-passing your guitars and letting the bass do the dirty work. This isn't a Recto model you're using by chance is it? Those things (as a Recto owner myself) have so much low end in Modern mode that you really DON'T want much bass at the amp - for leads mine's usually at 0, and for rhythm generally under 9 o'clock.

I am rather enjoying this guy's writing style. It keeps my attention, is totally unscholarly, and yet packs a lot of information efficiently.
 
Sounds like some sort of timing issue like already stated. When the guitar was recorded, do you record with two mono microphones into a single stereo track or did you record with a stereo microphone?

If you recorded with two mono microphones and didn't check the phase, perhaps the issue could lay somewhere in that area.

If that is the case there is a phase shift icon in most EQ plugins, or on the channel strip of your mixing board.
