[by the way, are the guitars on the cd loaded with bkp's or was it recorded before you discovered them?
The guitar tracks were recorded almost a year before I talked to Tim (unfortunately). There are a variety of pickups used, depending on the song: Joe Barden, Seymour Duncan, and DiMarzio. I used a few different rigs for the guitar parts: a Rivera K100 Knucklehead, Kolbe-modded JCM800 (50w), Engl 540 preamp/Marshall EL34 100/100 power amp, and a Roland VG-88. When we mixed the album, all of the guitar tracks went through Pultec EQs.
