My band and I recorded this song this month at my studio; it's a Christmas song. It's not for release, just for fun and our myspace site. Check it out if you'd like, feedback if you feel the need. Thanks guys!

Hey man, I forgot to ask what amps you are using and what gear you are using to record. I'm a guitarist and am always interested in amps Plus, I am pretty new to recording. I just got into it this past summer. Thanks!

We used a few different amps; the more gainy guitars were done with a Gibson SG and a Marshall JCM900, as well as a few of the cleans. The other guitar was done with a Hollow Body PRS I believe and a vintage VOX (no idea about model or year at the moment). The two guitar tones are completely different so it's interesting how it came together. I don't completely recall, but we may have used a Mesa Boogie Rect-O-Verb as well for some dirty cleans.

I recorded the guitars with a single SM57, pointed right towards the best sounding speaker, about an 1 inch from the grill. I used the stock Digidesign 002 preamps for guitars.
