Who likes Queensryche's Empire?

This has been my favorite clip to record so far! I'm not saying it is my best playing by any means. In fact, the timing is really off in some parts and the lead is a bit spotty but who cares, right?

I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of the basics in terms of recording. The Mark IV was sounding good to me today and felt inspired to record this clip.

What do you think?

I will post settings and gear if you are interested.

great clip, care to share how you do your recording? what equipment? you have the better sounding clips on this board and i've always wanted to know how you do it!
 
Excellent tones! Wonderful crunch, not too modern, not too vintage. Just right for Queensrÿche.

I can't wait to get my MKIV... Should arrive this week, next week at the latest. I'm gonna try to post clips when I get it.

Edit: Oh yeah, settings would be great.
 
WOW!!!! Love that song! You do an outstanding job recording that mark iv. How bout some settings......
 
Awesome. I would definitely say you are getting the hang of recording :)
The tones are awesome.

I used the following chain:

EBMM Petrucci guitar -> Maxon OD-9 -> Mark IV -> Bogner 2x12 Oversized -> Sennheiser e609 and Shure 57 -> M-Audio Mobile PRE USB -> N-Track 5. I used delay on the lead and some chorus and delay on the clean tracks. Effects were all from the Rocktron Xpression through the serial loop. No effects on the crunch rhythm other than the clean boost to add some sustain (I recorded this at low volumes). I usually like to record at higher volume but had a sleeping baby in the house.

The Shure 57 was pointed right at the center of the cone and the Sennheiser e609 was half way between the center and edge of the cone.

I'll post settings for the amp on Friday. I am out of town until then. I just posted the gear I used however.

Thanks for listening!
