Recording My Amp

[DC-Choppah]

Try huge midrange boosts. Some of the classic guitar sounds come from specific large midrange boosts. Like the strat sound in the second position (bridge and middle pickups) with the mid knob of the amp turned to max, or better yet a parametric eq with a 12 dB boost at about 1000 Hz set 200 Hz wide. I hear that kind of sound in lots of classic recordings.

I think its key to track it this way. It effects the way you play.

Here's a few EQ tips for guitar. Aimed at live use, but there's no reason it can't be a starting point for the studio as well. http://www.harmonycentral.com/articles/31098280

Now this is what I'd put into some kind of a sticky if I could...
