Ok, this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's really close to the in flames sound on stuff like Cloud Connected.
I'm using Sonar 8 Producer.
I set 2 audio tracks for 2 rhythm parts - one panned 100% left, the other 100% right. I record the one rhythm track 2 times, one for each panned track. If you just record once, and copy and paste the same waveform over both tracks, you lose the fullness.
Then, I add 2 more tracks for rhythm, both panned 100% left and 100% right. I then copy track 1 to track 3, and track 2 to track 4. This makes the sound much thicker. You'll understand momentarily why I quadruple the tracks.
For the mic placement: Tracks 1 and 2 are both close mic'd with SM57 placed in the center of the speaker. Tracks 3 and 4 are modified using guitar rig. The guitar rig configuration on these 2 tracks is as follows:
4x12 ultrasonic cab, dynamic 412b mic, bass full, treble at +7.5DB, air 0, distance 0 (this distance does not affect where the mic position is set, but affects other qualities of the sound).
For the leads, I have 2 other separate tracks - if there's no harmony, only 1 track will be used. For harmonies, both tracks are used, panned left 100% and right 100% respectively. I then close mic with a Shure PG48 - this mic gives me the warm lead tone I am looking for.
Hope this helps you experiment.
