Do any of you people know what Mark Tremonti used for Mesa amps when recording Alterbridge's Blackbird CD?
The stuff sounds fantastic!

Dude theres a pic floating around of everything they used in studio, it's insane.
Two or three different rectifiers, stilettos, mark IV's, uberschalls, shivas, randalls, jcm800's and more...
The main sound of that album I think though is rectifier and uberschall.

Quote from Guitar Messenger / Mark Tremonti Interview 11/9/2007 (sorry- No pics):
===============================================
IC: You say you use Rectifiers - is that the Triple Rec?
MT: Yeah, I use the Triple Rec, but my favorite Boogies are the two-channel Dual Recs - that’s why I actually keep my favorite two Dual Rectifier two-channel ones at home so I never screw them up, so I can use them in my home studio.
IC: You have some pretty brutal rhythm tone on the new album. What is your philosophy for setting the EQ on your amps and getting the sound that you want?
MT: I’m a firm believer in having two different amps for each tone. For my rhythm tone I obviously mix up the Boogie and the Uberschall and I EQ them both differently. I usually have the Boogie kind of carry more of the midrange in there - I’ll have the mids maybe to 4 or 5 on the Boogie and have my low end up to about 6, 7. Same with my high end, it’ll be about 6 or 7. Then my Uberschall will lay a bit heavier into the low end, because when I switch to go to my lead tone I go to a different amp anyway, so the low tone doesn’t get in the way of my lead. So I have the Uberschall carry a lot of my lows, and keep the presence down on the Uberschall and keep the presence a little higher and the midrange a little higher on the Rectifier.
What we did on the record was we kept the gain really low, and it made it bigger in the end. It made it tighter and bigger, and that kept kind of spilled over now into my live rig. You know, I was one of those guys who used to keep my gain up to about 3 o’clock. Now I keep it down around noon, if you will (laughs).

IMO the whole article is a good read.
