hey all. my band is currently recording our latest CD. i noticed something funny when i went back and looked at our old studio diaries and looked at my current rigs in the studio. i use TOTALLY different stuff when i record VS. when i play live. i love my USA jacksons and my rivera amps, but i don't use them in the studio!!! i use them live. in the past, in the studio, it has been a random selection of strats and hamers, or a gibson here and there, for guitars. for amps, in the past, i have used marshalls, boogies and fenders. THIS time around, for guitars i find myself using a brian moore C90P and a fender telecaster. i have been using the brian moore through a boogie triple rectifier and the telecaster through my JCM800 - both with their matching cabs. the brian moore is my left side guitar and the tele is my right side guitar. the leads are up in the air as i haven't done them yet. for my clean sounds i am using my 63 tremolux and my uncle's 64 strat along with my fender reverb unit.
now, i own all the gear except the triple rec 1/2 stack. that belongs to the studio. this time, when we did pre-production in my studio, i tried my marshall rig, my boogie rig, my rivera rig, my fender rig, and a friend's H&K triamp rig...i THOUGHT i was gonna go with the marshall and the rivera. i usually HATE rectos, but man...it blended very well with the JCM800.
as far as guitars, i was expecting to use the brian moore a little. i ALWAYS record with that guitar - i have never played it live. i was really thinking i'd pretty much go in with my live rig and blast out these tracks. NOPE...
anyone else with recording experience find this to be the case?

), the other dude's live amp (powerball) for rhythms and my live amp (cobra) for leads...we also double tracked the rhythms with my 5150, but that's actually the only piece of equipment that we recorded with but don't use live (as of right now...lol).
