This setup has always worked for me; muddy & raw and without the possibility to sound weak no matter what note/string you strike."

In this article Mieszko said: "This was the first time we really wanted to have 4 rhythm guitar tracks per song. I've never used more than 2 before. And for that we needed a sound that would fit in with the "Mesa + Mesa" sound. This came to be a BOSS HM-2 through the clean channel of the Rectifier (again). Same microphone setup as for the first 2 guitar tracks with a slight balance change between the mics."

In the "The recording of Helvete" diary, Mieszko said that he used a Mesa/Boogie pre amp through the clean channel of a Mesa Triple Rectfier as his main guitar sound. On this photo gallery, Mieszko shows a picture of a Mesa V-Twin quoted as "the Mesa pre-amp".

"So I tried several combinations of heads/cabinets and ended up with a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and a Mesa Boogie Pre-amp."

Mieszko said about the amp used in "Helvete": "This time however I wanted something different, not to completely leave what we had used before but to have the same kind of sound with more clarity and tone. We all felt that the new riffs deserved a bit more clarity. So I tried several combinations of heads/cabinets and ended up with a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and a Mesa Boogie Pre-amp."

"The cabinet I used was a Marshall 4x12 from 1982. "

"The cabinet and the mics were covered by a heavy canvas to prevent ambience "leakage". Mic pre-amp used for guitars was a Focusrite Octopre. All mics were blended nicely within Pro-tools and recorded to 1 track. Oh, and I recorded everything in 44.1 kHz 24 bit."
