We got a really full guitar sound by layering tracks with different amps and guitars.....

For example, I recorded one track with my Ernie Ball through my JCM 800 head, then overdubbed that same rhythem track with my SG through my 800, then layered a 3rd track using my Ernie Ball through a Soldano Hot Rod 50 head. Mixing these 3 sounds made the guitar tracks nice and full......

Our other guitarist did the same thing, but he only used his SG and 3 different heads (JCM 800, Soldano Hot Rod 50, and a Mesa Dual Rectifier).

So for every song we did (except one, which was a live jam in the studio), there are 6 tracks of rhythem guitar blended together.

Page got his sound by playing around with the placement of mics around the cabinet. One thing he did was place a mic across the room from the cabinet, which picks up more of the low end. A mic right up on the speaker will pick up more high's and mids.....He used multiple mics in different places at the same time....
