Guitar EQ ect. help

[Wackner]

I have recorded a song but cant seem to get the guitar to sound good.

The amp. was a Marshall TSL 100 and a JMC 2000 cab. We had 2 mics that where used, a SM57 and a ADK 51s. The placement was the SM57 was about 10 cm from one speaker pointing abit away from the middle. And the ADK was very close at another speaker.

Can someone help me with some proper EQ and compression or what it takes for this to sound nice. I think I can hear some bad noise and don’t know how to get it away, without taking away some good sound with it. Maybe there was to much gain on the amp. (A bit over the mid) But I sounded good in the room.

What does it sound like quad tracked. I don't think it sounds that bad. But I don't know what sound you are looking for. Maybe just stick to the 57.

Well better but only the dup effect, the single track sound still needs some good help that i cant figur out. I think i sounds a bit noisy in the top around 3-4 Khz.

Would like to have it a bit like the song “All Against All”

I suggest you try these on the 57 track:

+12 dB at 80 Hz, 2Q
-6 dB at 400 Hz, 2Q
+12 dB at 1 kHz, 3Q
+10 dB at 2.1 kHz, 3Q
+15 dB at 6 kHz, 2Q

Those Q-factors of the parametric EQ bands are taken from cool edit 2.1 parametric EQ effect. Depending on the DAW or plugins you use they may vary.. So, tweak them until it sounds good in the mix.

Those are some pretty massive boost levels, especially at 80 Hz - that's smack in the kick/bass range, and 15 dB at 6 k seems like it would just shred ones eardrums. But hey, if it sounds good, then that's the final test...

^Yes, I am aware it's pretty dramatical, but the sample he posted lacks a lot in that range. Anyway, those are brief suggestions for a start.
