I have an AXE FX III which is whole beast of modeling amps/pedals/ etc.. So I thought I would be able to get close to that super saturated valvvy (<<< new word) tone of the lead guitar in the most beautiful track "Crying to the Sky"...
But where do I start, what guitar (neck/bridge pickup) , what amp (s) cabs should I be trying to emulate, were they Mic'd up or DI.
Any help appreciated.
Big room in Abbey Road, Gibson 345, Carlsboro amp turned up to 11, stand at other end of studio, close miking on the amp, ambient mikes around the room, Watkins Copycat for echo, Univibe pedal. Good luck with that!
And whaling is wrong, in more ways than one :)
