Amp completely stock. I bought it used, but as far as I know, it contains the original tubes.
Guitar is a Fender MIM Fat Strat w/EMG 81 at the bridge (and 2 SAs, but those aren't used here).
Mic is a Shure SM57, on-axis at the exact center of the cone, just barely off the grille.
Tracked into an Mbox and then obliterated with a metric assload of EQ.
The stock speakers have a LOT of nasty frequencies, but once those are tamed, you can get some pretty fucking awesome (in my opinion, anyway) tones out of them. I'm a big fan of that really snarly Fredrik Nordström tone as I have mentioned in the past, and although I haven't quite got it yet, that's what I'm going for here. Yeah, I know there's a lot of 2k there and most people don't like it, but I do.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
