Rammstien effects

does anybody know what kinda effects the guitarist from Rammstien uses? that dude has one of the most wicked distortions ive ever heard.

There's two guitar "dudes" in Rammstein. One uses a tube amp, the other solid state, I'm assuming that's how they get their sound...

Plus, they record a ****load of overdubs, and run all of that through lots of expensive, great sounding gear...

Never underestimate how much of a difference having two guitarists can have. Unless you're Petrucci, but I think it's a safe assumption not everone here is.

well two guitarists is good, doubling guitars is good.

and even tho they seem to play pretty good live i remember reading in a studio report that one thing they mess around with a lot in the studio is spls transient designer

this thingy can alter the attack of a signal...that way you can chop a couple of milliseconds off of a note...that way it doesnt swell up (however quickly) --- it's right there as quickly as the snare tone for example.

They overdub a real lot to get full effect, especially on new tracks like Links 234. It gives it very full effect Richard(lead guitarist) said. And I believe Richard uses Mesa Boogie amps which have my personally favorite tone of any tube amp.

I like mesa, but my wallet doesn't back me up on that one.
