Well, I didn't record "No More Tears" just mixed it. During the mix I used a UREI 530 (my fav EQ for guitar) and ...err...a BBE 802, no compression. Rooms/reverb came out of the 480L can't remember the settings on that one. I did work with Zakk on the recording of the next project (very similar guitar sound) and we used a stock Marshall 800 with a stock 800 cabinet. Microphones: SM57 right in the center of the cone, Fostex M11RP (ribbon) also middle of the cone of another speaker about a 1.5" away, and a Beyer M88 slightly off to the side of yet another speaker, all in the same cabinet and phase aligned. Mic pres were all Hardy M-1s. The amp was crancked and (as you know) Zakk was using a LesPaul with EMG Humbucker pickups. BTW Zakk is hands down one of the best gittaar players I have worked with. He would ask me to cycle the tape around the solo part for five minutes while he came up with a guitar solo. After about 5 minutes he asked me to record an did the solo in one take. Then he wanted to double the solo and I thought "Yeah right", but he doubled it in ONE take, pretty amazing.
