Guitar tone in pro tools

[music]

I am using a gibson Les paul into a tube screamer into a marshall jcm 900 head into randall bottom to a shure sm 57 into a neve 1272 pre into pro tools. The guitar is a bit thin. Does anyone have any suggestions on compressors, pre's, mics that would lend to a warmer more meaty guitar tone. I am looking to get any tone recorded that is similar to the heavy guitar of fear factory, pantera, black sabbath, COC, disturbed, mudvayne etc.

Any suggestions appreciated,

Experiment with a room mic as well ....

failing that - just play louder! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Please don't be offended: Pod Pro. Tough to beat for crunch tones.

The Fatso by Impirical Labs, I want to get one someday soon.. Gtrs, the last hurdle for me in Pro Tools.

Kick- check! (Royer 121 mic)
Cymbals - Check! (Royer SF12 mic)

yeah a FATSO or even tape, either of those should really do the trick. also try putting a wood board in front of the speaker about 2-3 feet diagnally and micing the board, i've found that tecnique to be more true to what you hear in the room.
