Hi there,

I don't tend to do that much.
I try to get the sound at the amp rather than relying on outboard later.

I close mic with a 57 and put a room mic out there, mostly a 147.
I high pass all the guitars, unusally in the digital domain, roughly around 80-100 hz, maybe as high as 150.
I'll double track that a few times with different amps or guitars, or both.
I just hard pan them.

I'll often group all the rhythm guitars in a stereo bus and sent them to a stereo compressor and maybe a touch of eq, but there is no hard and fast here.
Effected or melody/lead guitars get sent to a separate bus so they can sit on top of the rhythm guitars.
That is it really.
