Proper mic'ing, double/triple/quadruple tracking, good amp, proper set up on the amp itself, and a good player. Really there are more variables but once you get it down you should be able to get the guitars to sit in the mix with little work after the tracking stage. Man there's so much I left out but I'm sure other people will be in here to add on. Oh yeah, less gain than you think, assuming they're dirty guitars.
