Guitar tone on the recent Counterparts album?

[Flow Of Time]

The only thing I could figure out on the internet, was that Putney mixed and mastered it.. Also one of the guitarists plays a Dual Rectifier through an Orange Cab live. Anybody got some more information?

Knowing Putney it's likely a blend of several different head and cab combos. Most definitely sounds like orange and mesa heads were used.

Knowing Putney it's likely a blend of several different head and cab combos.

also at least 2 mics per cab

Putney produced/mixed/mastered, his assistant Randy tracked. This is a super common split for them, btw. With Randy tracking it might as well be a 100% Putney production.

Like Christian said, it's going to be a blend of amps; what Will usually keeps constant is two Mesa 4x12s each with a 57 into a Vintech pre and an MD421 into a Chandler. All 4 tracks get blended through a summing mixer and recorded to a single track.

Thanks for your answers! Well seems like I won't manage to reproduce a similar tone in my bedroom But I'll try to experiment with multiple ampsims and IRs

Just a thought for the OP, you may be able to get some decently comparable results from using parallel eq on your guitars if you use some radical boosts very liberally.

Though if you don't have a good hardware eq or good hardware emu it might be more difficult

I tried to get close results with non stop referencing, but it didn't really work..
Anyway here's the result: https://www.copy.com/s/FSbOUXqk74NN/140123_Putney_Tweak4.mp3

PS: I know I need to get rid of that fucking snare reverb

Edit: Relistening with fresh ears, guitars sound like crap :/
