Your guitar recording chain?

[decoy205]

How are you guys liking the Little Labs Redeye? Looks like a good product.

 

[lanky noob]

prs w/dimebucker-blackstar ht-20 studio-blackstar htv4x12 angled-sm57

Too poor for a tubescreamer and only one working cable, so I can't record di's either

 

[chdrummer]

guitar-countryman 85 split to di and to axe fx ultra-saffire pro 40-pt10

 

[StoneLord]

countryman t85 → audient mico → spdif → RME

 

[RevoltStudios]

Chain is usually the same with maybe an added amp for flavor..

Whatever guitar-home made ts-Splawn Quickrod--Mesa OS--SM57 dead center and a tube U47 dead center--Chandler TG2--PT

The next amp is a reamp with the Mesa Triple Voodoo Mod amp, same stuff.

Good gear and you'll never have to tweak!

 

[JeffTD]

Guitar -> Kemper, Kemper thru -> VP312 pre (API312 clone) -> FF800. Reamping is FF800 -> Redeye - > KPA, at least until I get a SPDIF cable.

sm57 in the right place

 

[Josh Burgess]

Used to be:

DIs: Guitar -> Countryman Type 85 -> API A2D analog in -> API A2D converters -> SPDIF digital out -> RME AIO digital in for DIs
Tracking tone: Guitar -> Countryman Type 85 -> Maxon OD-820 -> 5150/5150 III -> Eventide pedals (sometimes) ->Mesa OS 4x12 -> sm57 -> simple high/low pass -> Soundtoys Echoboy/Crystallizer for ITB effects
Reamp: RME AIO analog out -> Reamp V2 -> same guitar chains

but right now enjoying Guitar -> Maxon OD-820 (sometimes) -> Kemper -> SPDIF digital out -> RME AIO digital in for guitars :]

 

[Trevoire520]

Typically:
Guitar>BSS AR133>NS2>TS7>Amp (whatever I have at the time)>Rectifier cab>57 & something else (421/4040/SM7B)>Allen & Heath R16

If I'm reamping I use a Radial Pro RMP.

A soundclip after the description of the recording chain would be great.

EffigyForgotten, i could watch your sig all day and all night.

But anyways, here's the chain u tend to use:

Guit-fiddle > (sometimes) ts9 > PreSonus TubePre > AudioBox > DAW > Ozone Exciter (if im not tracking with new strings) > EMG81 IR (if i track with my flubby sounding pups for a quick in-the-mix solution, usually for lower tunings) > PodFarm (for gate, slight comp and tubescreamer if i don't use ts9 before mic pre) > TSE808 (for leads/solos only) > amp > IR spres_high blended with Lecab stock SoloC impulse > post eq

I believe this is TSE X40 in this clip, 5150 voice on the left, mesa voice on the right.

Some guitars i've recorded, didn't reamp the leads they are a bit boxy but after a while you got just rythm guitars:

Gtr --> Jsx --> Mesa 2x12 --> 2xsm57 --> Crane Song spider --> SSL alphalink
