How do you combine different amps and cabs?

[Eduardo Apolonia]

Andy,

How do you normally combine the different passages of guitars with different Amps and cabs?
Do you use different cabs?

Is anyone of this your method? or other?


Method 1 (using the same cab, each guitar has its own amp)
Guitar Left Amp A Cab A Amp A Cab A
Guitar Right Amp B Cab A Amp B Cab A

Method 2 (each guitar has its own amp and cab)
Guitar Left Amp A Cab A Amp A Cab A
Guitar Right Amp B Cab B Amp B Cab B

Method 3 (using different cabs, each guitar has its own amp)
Guitar Left Amp A Cab A Amp A Cab B
Guitar Right Amp B Cab A Amp B Cab B


Or do you use any of these approaches but use 2 different amps for each guitar?

Method 4 (using the same cab, each passage is a different amp)
Guitar Left Amp A Cab A Amp B Cab A
Guitar Right Amp A Cab A Amp B Cab A

Method 5 (each guitar has its own cab, each passage is a different amp)
Guitar Left Amp A Cab A Amp B Cab A
Guitar Right Amp A Cab B Amp B Cab B

Method 6 (using different cabs, each passage is a different amp)
Guitar Left Amp A Cab A Amp B Cab B
Guitar Right Amp A Cab A Amp B Cab B



Thanks

err, thats making my brain hurt!

There's no rules, sometimes I'll do the same 4 times, sometimes I'll use a different comb for 2nd 2 tracks, whatever it needs really.

I was burnt out when I finished typing it.


"There's no rules, sometimes I'll do the same 4 times"

But in that case you Eq them differently Left and Right?

Speaking of Eq, do you always Eq the tracks or most of the times you just put a HP and LP and it's done.
If yes what is your favorite plugin for that?

Thanks

like i said, theres no rules, I'll usually do the same to the left as to the right so it's a balanced mix, unless we're trying to do a two gtr thing, different tone for both players left and right.
