There are at least 3 spots to consider: 1st in chain think of it like Overdrive boost with drive on 0. Cut the low end, boost the mids. I don't think you really need an overdrive and an eq in this situation (unless you're a clean amp pedal distortion player). Also can think of this as a...

nice work! I do like the original guitar sound- big phat diezel lo-mids

OP: with that approach you will need to be tasty on a Santana level and even then most people won't want to play with you. Not sure if that matters

I love it but when you are trying to collaborate with someone else, it is time to grab a guitar with markers

OP has a ton of theoretical tone philosophy but 0 sound samples trying to persuade us out of close mic-ing a v30 with a 57 for metal. Are we going to present evidence for these alternative ideas or just wonder out loud "is everybody wrong"?

as close as you can sometimes I take the grille off so I can get closer

Take a blaring 4x12 cab, close mic with a 57. Now move that set up to different rooms in your house- there is a big difference. Using a LDC and backing it off accentuates the environment. This could be good for airy solos, but for metal rhythm yuck. But I'm open to hearing the evidence

I like how you lay it all out, but in practice, this sound is going to suck for metal. The LDC backed off is going to pick up more of your room, which I assume is not an ideal sonic environment. Plenty of other reasons why this will suck for this material, but go ahead and try it out and let us...

Let's expand this through the generations: Winger > Creed > Limp Bizkit > Nickelback

This is great news as Pete Thorn is my spiritual godfather making EVH my spiritual god pop pop. Just ask my spiritual uncle Wolf to confirm.

I had a bass player once...easy enough to get along with, at rehearsal it seemed ok but we play loud in a small room so who knows? He had impressive tracks from his previous band so I thought knew how to studio track. I bring him into my studio and every note is buzzing so badly that there was...

Am I falling asleep listening to Sleep Token or am I Sleep Token writing a song about me falling asleep?

My wife hates this song, so you know, I sing out the main hook from time to time. I need to stop

The early days were awesome. But somewhere along the line he became a clown and I lost interest, though his channel also took off during that time. Dude has almost 1 million subs, so I'm sure he'll be fine. He said himself that he makes less videos, so he has less views.

I think Kruse worked for Diezel for a short time, so it makes sense that he seemed to deliver on those amps. The DeKomp/supersonic dial sounded ice pick horrible if cranked up past noon, which I think is some of the reason there are so many bad clips- a lot of players lost their high end hearing...
