Been working with different unique power amp designs (which I havent seen in any metal amps before) lately and this is another new one cathode follower driven KT88 power amp with ultra linear output transformer. In guitar tones I used dummy load, impulse and added later some stereo widening, compression, tiny bit bright eq and tape saturation. Some of these are from my own made nebula sampled programs which might be someday for commercial use so I cant give more details right now. I had Cubase SX, Pro RMP and RME digipad96 for reamping.
DW was P-E
E was AngelC
Hard panned guitars: DIs --> TSE X30 vst plugin --> LeCab with MESA impulses --> TRacks3 and waves Eq
60-60 guitars: DIs --> Poulin LE456 vst plugin --> LeCab with MESA impulses --> TRacks3 and waves Eq
EE was Monolithsound
Guitar Tone Competition Signal Chain: Apogee Ensemble --> Reamp V1 --> ISP Decimator G String --> Bogner Uberschall --> Mesa 4x12 Rectifier cab --> Heil PR30 --> Seventh Circle Audio Neve clone preamp --> Apogee Ensemble Both tracks were processed identically: HP/LP through Waves REQ-6, 2db of compression from URS 1980 comp, keyed from 245hz and down and very light URS 30ips tape saturation. All cabling was Monster 500 series.

And Mikael, you were D? Why didn't you hard pan dude? It would've sounded so much better!
Just see post
For be totally honnest I didn't know myself I was D
Seriously first tone contest for me and I learn a lot about various point... I changed my mic placement since this (you already hear this on my last tone test thread
).Other big mistake I do here are about level, I thinked Anssi or Mark mastered all the clip before posting and agree to this I leave ton of headroom and finally, ton of headroom in the mix
really funny when I think about that now
