Final Preset for Recording Heavy Metal Guitar

Carlos and I spent some time last night tweaking and turning the chicken head knobs for a little while until we found a really good combination of volume, EQ and mic placement... The goal was to get the best sound to record a warm, yet Heavy Metal tone.

"We were trying to set up de amp for recording with the new SM57 that satan purchased.
we down the treble a lot, up the bass, a little more gain and a different amp, High Gain american. (what we were thinking after all ...)

there we go ...

Reds"

Here is the Vox Preset:
