Since i always jam with that classic song by MERAUDER called "Downfall of Christ", i decided to record a quick guitar cover and see how my guitar tone works for it since my own songs can be somewhat similar in terms of style at times.
So basically this is the original mix (from the Master Killer album reissue), with the original guitars, and i added my own guitars, 2 guitars (one middy, one scooped), hard-panned on each side. I couldn't remove the original guitars so you still hear the original guitars slightly in my version, but then again my guitars are predominant.
I'm still using my trusted EMG81/85-loaded Schecter Hellraiser C1-FR, plugged directly into ENGL SE 6L6 with the Torpedo VB-101, which is a hardware loadbox+cab/mic/miking simulator (see other related threads here : http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...-101-hardware-loadbox-cab-mic-miking-sim.html)
Keep in mind the clip is sloppily played, esp. during the slow up&downstroke break in the middle. This is just a tone test for kicks, nothing meant to be released or anything like that.
Clips (one with the full mix, one with guitars only) and detailed signal chain info can be found here :

Compared to my previous clips from 2009-12-22 (the ones using the ENGL412V30 cab + Blue Dragonfly Condenser mic), the differences are the following :
* the master volume on my amp is slightly higher
* i dropped the Exciter value significantly on the torpedo, since it was adding too much junk to the tone
* no post-EQ on guitars (not even HP-LP) in Cubase this time
Let me know what you guys think.
