Guitar is a stock les paul standard, into the same rig as alexi used on this album, but with a 2x12 instead of a 4x12, drums are drumkit from hell superior, bass is edirol superquartet and the little bit of keys is a soundfont, couldn't be arsed to do the rest of the keys. Excuse the sloppy playing.

Guitars and bas are too flat. They have no low end. Make them bigger by adding lows and highs (100% left/right panning?). Drums are very loud, i'm missing the brutal OOOOoMMMMPPP (wall of sound by guitars+bas).

fair enough dude, was mainly working on the guitar tone which i think is close to the original.

I love that song but I'm not the biggest fan of their guitar tone.

i'll give your clip a listen as soon as i get home.
but just out of curiosity, what rig did alexi use on the album?

 

[cobhc]

his lee jackson preamp, into a peavey 50/50 classic poweramp, into a stock 1960 cab.

mmh...afaik he's using emg hz pickups and some kind of emg booster a la afterburner, too. definitely reasonable, considering that the lee jackson is rather mid gain by today's standarts.

He's been using VHT poweramps for quite a while now .

All his albums besides the new excuse for an album were recorded with the J-50BC and a JE-1000 as the booster.

thanks. then i mixed it up with his ESPee signature...afaik that one has the EMG hz4 or whatever that thing is called in the bridge.

btw, downloaded your clip. besides the obvious mixing issues (drums way too loud etc), i think the guitars should have more highs and a tad less gain. try backing off the gain like 30% or something and record multiple tracks to get some thickness back in. alexi's sound often is very bright and low gain, except maybe for something wild

only since maybe tl&s, hcdr was recorded with the peavey

Are you sure? The tour supporting HCDR was Lee Jackson/VHT.

hmm, all the stuff i saw during 2003 was either peavey or engl, i know roope has been using vht for a while now, is it possible you saw his rig and not alexi's? or was that while alexander was still in the band?
