I don't mind sharing details
On the master bus I had TesslaSE for a little bit of saturation, Waves G-Master for compression and L2 for limiting. I didn't use any EQ on the master track or the guitars besides the HP/LP.Check out Daunt's guides (especially the one on master bus processing), they're extremely well written and informative: http://www.faderwear.com/guides/

Thanks for the link.
If its not too much trouble, what are your typical settings for mastering comp/limiting?
Im kindof clueless when I start on the master bus. How much decibel reduction on the master compressor is usually considered "too much"?
I'm still not sure how your guitar tone came out like it did...we probably had very similar settings on the same plugins. Yet yours is so much more out front sounding. sheesh

The example settings on the Faderwear guides I linked are a good starting point. My settings vary from time to time, but I've noticed I always use a 4:1 ratio on the master comp.
Too much is when you start hearing unpleasant things in the mix, such as the oh-so-loved pumping effect
I usually set the compressor to stay in the 2-4 db range of gain reduction, though I've heard from many talented guys that they try to go for 3-5, case depending.Funny, I don't consider the test clip very in-your-face or defined
If it's of any help, it was recorded with a mahogany body guitar (LTD EC-400) with an EMG-81 in the bridge to a Firepod. Dropped B tuning, 13-56 strings. See if the Tube Screamer plugin in front of Wagner helps, set the drive low and turn the tone knob up until you get a nice, tight chugga chugga out of your palm mutes 
Here is a lil test i did using Wagner MK II, i also used guitarhack's IR's.

Thanks for the comparisons jhawke. The improvements are quite impressive! My own quick dabbling with some pre-recorded DI tracks didn't turn up anything fantastic, but I think that's more with the method those were recorded, rather than the quality of Wagner. I'll definitely be playing around with this bastard a bit in the near future.

Sounds awesome. What kind of processing was done there?
I too, wish he would make a Mac version.

Fuck man appreciate it! There was no eq at all, just manipulating the plugs and i will post some screen shots of the settings. As for the rest of the mix i know is muddy as hell, thats why im here trying to figure out how to clean this shit up.

musickey <- have you used any samples on drums? If so, which ones? What was the processing? Sorry for so much questions :Smokin:
