surely, the guitar may play a role in the tone as well. maybe not if it's all amp sim'd or whatever the folks recording this stuff are doing these days. |

I can vouch for the guitar bit, it if ain't a good humbucker (aka les paul) then you might as well not bother. |

that's crap. P-90's are GLORIOUS!!! single coil fenders can do some really cool things too. |

But in my experience with fenders trying get a high gain modern sound out of them is like trying to get a cat to wear a tutu... |

Well i stand corrected then! But in my experience with fenders trying get a high gain modern sound out of them is like trying to get a cat to wear a tutu...the cats get's angry and your hands are going to bleed! Haven't listened to fire yet but i'll believe theres some cool stuff going on there;). |

i think you have a point; getting modern single coil Fenders to rock is difficult, but that's because stock Fender pickups kinda suck. good single coil pickups can be pretty ballsy though, unless you go with vintage 1950's sounding pups or something. check out Young Widows to hear how much a Telecaster can rock. p90s are great too. then again, so are good humbuckers. |

Hey J, I just looked up the EH Hum Debugger and found lots of reviews where people have said it altered their guitar tone too much. Can you comment on that? |

I can tell you right now that the 57 is not the best mic for guitars. Sometimes it works, and it's fine, but there are plenty of other options that could work better. e906 comes to mind (or 409 if you can get one). 121 rings a bell too. The room is deceiving. Trust your monitors. Obviously, make the tracks as awesome as possible, but IMO, there's no real way to tell EXACTLY how to EQ something before the mix. Just make it sound really really good in tracking, then don't shy from the EQ in the mix phase. |

The SM57 may not be 'the best' mic, but for the price and what it does, it's awesome! It is definitely in my top 3 desert island mic list. If you can't get a good guitar sound working from a 57 then your problem is not the microphone. |

Quad tracking was the trick I was after! |

that, is, forgive me, a load of crap if you can't get a decent sound with a 57, try a REAL microphone instead I can't remember the last time I heard a decent sound from a 57, on anything. sorry. |
