All the mention of amps, and no mention of cabs and guitars. Well, Mesa Triple Rectifiers are the way to go for a head. Mesa Cabs or anything loaded with Vintage 30's speakers. Mic with a 421 and a 57. Guitars are Paul Reed Smith or Les Paul. That is the tone. Track two identical tracks and pan fairly hard.

This tone has been overused as of late. All the records have the same guitar sound. I picked up a Fender Tonemaster a few months ago and it kills. Better tone, less buzz in the top like the Mesa has. Its hand wired point to point. Cost me 1k and worth every penny. I also have a soldano and Bogner JCM 800 and Sovtek mig 60. Variety is the way to go for guitars. Also check out the Demeter ISO cab. I have one with a vintage 30 in it. Great for tracking without the bleed and produced a TIGHT sound.
