Hey guys,

our band is about to record 2 demos, long story short, our 2nd guitarist was arguing that "real" recorded guitars sound like crap.

The files listed here are my FIRST try at recording a real amp through a cab, so please bear with me, constructive criticism is welcome.

Gear:

5150 MKII
Kitty Hawk Custom (Uberschall Style) 2x V30, 2x G12T75, X-Array
ESP LTD MH 400NT (81 & 85)
SM58 Clone
Tascam US-122 Interface

I recorded one track for each guitar and panned them 80L / 80R, no processing:

Here it is with some drums in the background and the Sneap-Setting through the C4:

What do you think?

Cheers,
