I have never recorded a real guitar amp before.
Always had my Pod XT, but i've gotten tired of that sterile sound, at least for rhythmtones it just doesn't do it for me. I'm mostly gonna play metal stuff.
The amp i've got/just bought is an Mesa Boogie Dual Caliber 5 widebody Combo, and i'm aiming towards some Metallica early thrash metalish sound.
Question 1: How high does the Output volume needs to be on the leadchannel for optimal recording level?
I've just ordered a sm57, since that seems to be the standard for micing guitar amps.
I have tried different settings on the amp, from low gain to higher, less mids. Zero Bass and added Bass in the eq, etc. But I haven't really gotten a sound that i feel is "trashy" enough yet.
The eq seems to be able to do some radical changes.
Question 2: Some Settings for Dc5 metal stuff, that would be very appreciated.
This is the kind of sound i'm aiming towards. I know it's impossible to clone a sound, since micpositions, room etc have a big role too. Yes, the amp in the clip is a Dc5 i know it since i've mailed with Frank Klepacki that does the tunes in the clip, but i'm too shy to ask for specific settings. Usually producers don't want to "give away" their secrets you know.........
Something similar to this! Any idea what settings this might be? And what guitar/guitar pickups would be ideal for this style?

the guitarsound at 1:31 is the one i'm talking about.
