Highly entertaining and very informative, I give you “MARSH: Slipperman’s Recording Distorted Guitars Thread from Hell”
An exerpt:
You gotta start in the room with ‘the sound’. First, Put in some fucking earplugs, so when you go to get sounds on the desk later you’ll actually have an opinion on ANYTHING. Then, get ‘Einstein’ to fiddle with his miserable square wave rectifier/noise generator until he confirms it is indeed producing “his sound”. The incredibly new and amazing sound you haven’t heard from anybody else…. in the last 15 minutes. This is MAJOR, once attained, we now have a starting point. We can now feel free to embark on our hellish voyage into the most fruitless and subjective undertaking ever conceived in the history of man’s sad efforts on this sad and forgotten pebble in space. “A great guitar sound”. Something NOBODY has agreed upon for more than 15 minutes since Ike left the White House.
