"DEAD HEART IN A DEAD WORLD:
Custom Built 7 String Guitar loaded with EMG 707 pickups. The guitars were routed into a Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer that was used as a signal boost. The settings on the TS-9 were:
Drive: 9 O'Clock
Tone: 10 O'Clock
Level: 12 O'Clock
This was fed into the amp that was used on all of the rhythm and leads. The amp used was a Mesa Boogie (2 Channel) Dual Rectifier that was straight from the box. The Mesa Recto was routed into a Marshall 1960B 4X12 Cab with the stock 75 Celestions they have. Settings on the Mesa Recto were:
Silicon Diode Setting
Bold Setting
Red (Modern) Channel
Treble: 11.30
Mids: 10 O'Clock
Bass: 11.30
Gain: 12:30
Presence: 12.30
Master: 10 O'Clock
There were 4 tracks of rhythm, with 2 tracks being panned 100% left and right, and the other set being panned 80% left and right. There was no compression, limiting, etc only a slight touch of EQ used. Two Shure SM-57's were used for recording, one on the center of the cone about an inch away."

four tracks times two mics...thats eight audio tracks just for rythm...doesen't it sound a bit muddy that way.....I can see the usage of two mics when doing only two guitars tracks....but somehow I remember that "four guitar tracks" albums like "burn my eyes" and "demanufacture" also was two mics at the same time.....or?
Both mics at same level in mix?

Usually when Andy Sneap is using 2 mics the 2nd mic is WAY quieter in the mix (if there at all).
but that has nothing to do with muddyness (assuming the mics are placed correctly of course), when all the used mics are in pahse they can be used like an EQ.
4tracks with 2 mics will give you 8 tracks in your DAW, that's right, but that's not the same as 8 tracks played.
It's still just 4 tracks no matter how many mics you used.

I think the level of muddyness depends on how tight the guitarist can play his rhytm tracks.
So Jeff Loomis can probably record 16 guitars and it will still not sound muddy.

Anyone know what impulse to use to get this sound with revalver?
Looking for any good settings. mostly want nevermore/testament (the gathering) type sounds
