You might remember a while back I was trying to find a Whitesnake sound from my 2266. Here's the results...

I'd say you nailed it. Nice job and great playing as well!

Nothing wrong with that tone, and if you were after Whitesnake I think you got REAL close. I would like to hear that with perhaps a bit more overdrive pushing it and with a thin layer of chorus. Either way it sounds great.

Hey Bailz, that was great! We also play that song in our band and I like it. You're playing is great and your tone is equally great. Very tasty vibrato and phrasing :) And the recording was great too. How did you record it? What mics and what cab did you use? The guitar sound was fat, thick and creamy.

Did you use a chorus or was the guitar only de-tuned between the dubs?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

It was my Les Paul (Alnico 2 in the bridge, Bare Knuckle Black Dog in the neck) tuned to Eb. The cabinet is the VM 425A through a Shure SM57 to my soundcard. Both the rythm and lead parts were the Les Paul but I added a bit more presence for the rythm section. For the solo I used a Tubescreamer to add a bit of gain and sustain and that was it as far as effects go.

For mixing I used Adobe Audition 3.0 for a bit of hiss and noise removal. Not sure if there's anything else to mention.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info Bailz. SM57 is almost a foolproof microphone for guitar cabs :)

Very nice work im starting to see a trend for the sm57 im thinking thats the next piece of gear on my slip past the wife gear list hehe.)

A very worthwhile investment. I have 4. They also work very well for miking snare & toms. Maybe not THE best, but a true workhorse & all around great mic.
