In general I like 1 sm 57 in a really good balanced sounding spot. I like ribbon mics like the Royer R 121 and the SE R1 too.
What makes the 57 great is the way it handles mid range rips in mix. It holds itself well under dramatic eq if necessary.
ALl you really need is 1 57 tracked 4 times with an amp that is blasting loud as hell.

Rogers
we knew for quad track and loud as fuck (it's always on ten anyway, so the bassist and singer cant hear themself ;p )
we'll probly use two mics tho, even if its for our demo, which is gonna be taped this summer. Sound has to be very defined as most of the riffs aren't simple, and are either harmonized or both guitars do something pretty much different ;p

Be careful for phase issues when using multi mic stuff. It is better to concetrate on getting a really good sound on 1 mic than to get 2 ok sounds with 2 mics. Make sure they are both teh same distance from the speaker.
I'll mix & master the record for cheap as dirt. PM me if you are interested? I've got a massive collection of badass drum sounds I bought from a very highly paid mix engineer and all that kind of stuff.
The best way to get a more defined guitar sound is to use much less gain than you think you need and put a bit more mids into your tone than you think you need. You can always eq it out in mix.

You can always eq it out in mix. for the demo, mixing will be done by my singer (he got AE course) and one dude he graduated with. For Mastering, we'll see, i know you'd do a better job than other ppl here... For the album (which isnt for tomorow;p we'll get a good engeneer tho) Drums sounds be will what we record, no triggers or patches, nothing (only bassdrums, if we really needs) we'll set up overdrive at 5 (maybe less?) I dont cut much mids, they're at 4 on my JSX, so it shouldnt be a problem, right?

Set up just enough drive where it isn't inhibiting your playing and still sounds heavy.

yeah, that's pretty much what i thought.
Now I just need to find a way to convince my guitarist to get rid of his crate head and podxt and get a real amp...
