Hi there
Let me start by saying that this record kicks major a$$. Especially the guitar sounds *INCREDIBLE*, actually the way the rhythm guitar sounds e.g. at the beginning of "suicide terrorist" made me pick up a 5150 in the first place
as far as i know, this record was recorded using an emg81 loaded guitar->maxon tube screamer -> 5150 I signature head -> some type of cab i can't recall right now
atm i'm also using emg81 loaded guitar through an ibanez tube screamer into a 5150 I head (block letter though).
basically....i wonder if andy could be so kind and get more into the details, especially regarding settings (don't have to be exact, just the ballpark )...come on, we know you did it before (dead heart in a dead world ! )
well...right now i'm using something like this: tube screamer level 12 o'clock, drive 9 o'clock, tone 10 o'clock, high input on the 5150, rhythm channel with crunch and bright engaged, gain at 1:00, lead channel gain at 11:00, bass 2:00, mids also 2:00, treble 11:00, both post gains around 9:30, resonance 2:00, presence 12:30
is this close? it sounds about right, but there's still somehting missing i can't quite figure out, particulary the way the highs sound. might as well be andy's magic hands and mille's metal hands 
it's interesting that i can't quite figure out whether the lead or rhythm channel was used. even with the bright engaged the rhythm channel seems to have more bass and less highs. actually i think i prefer it over the lead channel for metal rhythm work (after all even the rhythm channel has more gain when cranked than most lead channels...at around 2:00 it already outgains my jcm800 2210)
and of course, this isn't just for our guru, but for anyone please chime in, i really wonder how close it's possible to get without all the studio magic (and without being mille )
