Hello all,

I've been reading this forum for the last 5 months and it has been very helpful to me! I just registered so as a first post is would like to dicuss a topic which i couldnt find after searching the forum. I really want to know how the (imo) killer Nickleback or 3 doors down guitar tone is made.

I am mixing some own projects, but my experience is solely on acoustic material. Now am doing this project which really askes for such a distorted guitar tone and i was wondering how to get such a tone. Is it the amp? external EQ or compression?

I have a Line 6 Vetta (lots of Mesa, Fender and Marshall models in it, as well as boutique amps) and a collection of low and high output gibsons and fender guitars. So i have some choice regarding the starting point, the gear

. I mix in Cubase SX with some external compressors and a TC Powercore MKII.

Does anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks in advance and greetings,

Roger
