Thats funny, I was going to say that maybe its the bus saturation that was causing the guitars to have that extra layer of fizz to them that that Fabio wasn't liking. What are you using on the 2bus? This sounds monstrous otherwise, nice job on reigning in the lowend. Fucking brutal! The 5153 is chewy as hell!
Hey Eric. I agree, I think its the saturation that's gone a bit over the top. My signal chain on the 2bus is an SSL compressor (1-2 db gain reduction) -> saturation plugin -> Multi Band Compressor -> Limiter. I do have an EQ at the top of the chain, but it was bypassed coz I was happy with the EQ balance.
