Old swedish guitar tone (HM-2, Amplitube Metal, S2.0). Rate please :)

[Urgul]

Here's short tonetest I did using HM-2 and Amplitube Metal + S2.0. I did it for a band I'm recording at the moment. They wanted old swedish guitar tone with some "modern touch".
What do you guys think about this mix? Is it any good? Any comments would be great

Guitar chain was: LTD EC-1000 (drop B tuning) + HM-2 + Amplitube Metal (+some EQ etc.)
Bass is a pitch shifted guitar.
Drums are all S2.0 (no samples replacement).

I like the guitar tone. I don't quite understand the guitar chain, though. Did you plug the HM-2 into a DI box? Did you bypass anything in amplitube?

Checkout my thread called "My attempt at the Sunlight Studios tone" on this page

Thanks for your input
I pluged guitar to HM-2 and then HM-2 to a mixer Soundcraft Compact 10. In Amplitube I've choosen Metal Clean T in PRE MODEL and that's it. I didn't bypass anything in Amplitube.

 

[Melodeath]

So you didn't select a cab in amplitube?

 

[Urgul]

I didn't use any external impulses, the cab simulation is from Amplitube (and it's the default one (4x12 Metal T 1, Dynamic 57), I didn't change anything)
I've just run Amplitube Metal and changed PRE MODEL to Metal Clean T only (and changed EQ a bit) and that's it. The rest were default settings

Sounds pretty damn authentic to me. A little on the overloaded/digital side but very close to that Grave tone.

Thanks for your input, guys!
Anyone else?
