Best or favorite metal guitar tones?

[thisundyingfire]

Searched for a similar thread but didn't see one; what tones do you guys find crushing or tight and awesome?

List some up with the rigs that conjured said tones; here's a few I dig

Meshuggah - destroy erase - ibanez 7 strings boosted into Mesa Dual Rectifier into Marshall 4x12 - miced with Nuemann Tlm 103

Benea Reach - Possession - deutschenberg guitars into 5150 and Framus Dragon. Former used a 5150 can and latter used a framus cobra cab ; miced with 57/414 combo

The Famine - the Raven and the Reaping - custom 7 string into Bogner Uberschall rig; not sure on mics

Man Must Die

new Lamb of God guitar tones get my wiener hard too.

Oh and this thread probably belongs here.

Iced Earth's Horror Show. End of thread.

The downside is that the bulk of Schaffer's tone comes from his Larry amps, which are about a billion dollars each. You can get pretty close with a boosted JCM or a Bogner into a 1960 cab.

 

[rapucore]

Diablo's Eternium or Mimic47.

 

[Terminus]

Any Gojira album especially TWOAF

 

[Vihaleipä]

These came into my mind first:

Gojira - TWOAF
Megadeth - Endgame
Metallica - Load
Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying
Bring Me The Horizon - Suicide Season

Love the tone on that Benea Reach album.
Purified In Blood - Flight Of A Dying Sun/Under Black Skies

 

[Hankyu]

Breakdown of sanity - perception and mirrors

 

[Spectivum]

Bal-Sagoth - Starfire...
