Thanks for your responses -- I'm glad you liked it!
zabour -- The tracks may very well be clipping a bit at certain places. I try to avoid it by monitoring the waves and VUs, but overall my production is done pretty rough and bare bones Iggy Pop-style, trying to squeeze as much juice out of the instruments as possible, which isn't really the easiest or best thing to do with so much digital equipment (i.e. computer software)... I'm finished and 95% satisfied with the album, so I'll probably leave it at where it is, but thanks for the input!
wallace -- The guitars are mainly a Mexican '72 Tele Custom reissue (with better pickups) and a stock Hamer Archtop Studio with humbuckers. The amps I've built myself -- a '55 Fender Tremolux clone (15 watts) and an AX84 "P1" (8 watts, see
www.ax84.com), both through the 4-10" cab of an old Ampeg VT40 which I otherwise used for the bass. All miked with an SM57. The only outboard effect was a '76 Colorsound wah-wah. I have some distortion pedals but rarely use them. This time it's just pure and simple power section overdrive -- the single volume knob anywhere between 4 and 10... I used the P1 amp on most guitar and keyboard tracks, and it is suitably bright and raw but has a very smooth Marshallesque overdrive with lots of range between clean and max distortion, so it's nice for recording.
The other effects are all software -- either the built in effects in Adobe Audition (where I recorded everything) or VST plugins. The reverb and delay/echo are all from Audition, and I actually like them a lot. For some reason though, their flanger sounds great while the phaser sucks (IMHO), so I used the flanger (on a couple of instrument tracks, mostly on songs 3 and 11), but Kjaerhus' free Classic Phaser (on two tracks, like the rhythm guitar on track 5). That's about it. There's a leslie VST effect (mda) on the Rhodes piano soundfont on track 9 too... Nothing spectacular anywhere. I've got some nice guitar gear, but my recording equipment/software is pretty cheap.
