Just decided to put this little thing together.
Before I continue, credit must go towards JeffTD for the DI tracks and backing tracks, it's not actually my own backing track and playing here.
The re-amp (and to an extent, the mix) is mine though
The song is Rose of Sharyn, extremely well played on guitar by Jeff and he programmed the drums pretty damn well too.
Backing track was processed with multiband compression to shave off some of the harsh highs of the cymbals.
I tried to level match the clips fairly well. Not quite exact, but relatively close.
My aim was to somewhat capture the original vibe of the song with the guitar tone processing (fairly saturated, lower mid heavy)

It was very interesting to note how much post processing EQ I needed to get to that sound for 8505.
Both clips were high passed at 90Hz and I used saturation, but apart from that, there aren't really much similarities in the post processing department
The two outside 100/100 panned tracks are boosted at 250Hz by 7.5dB to really pump some lower mids in there and the two inside 80/80 panned tracks (the clips are all quad tracked) boosted at 350Hz by 6dB.
Further boosts at 4.5Khz, 7Kh and 8KHz were done on the 100/100 tracks, finally capped off with a low pass of 12KHz.
The 80/80 tracks had less severe boosting, with boosts at 4KHz and 7KHz, with no low pass filtering at all.
All 4 tracks were boosted before the amp sim via Tube Screamers Secret and then after the amp I placed Voxengo Boogex as an impulse host
It was interesting to note despite all that, I still couldn't get the lower mids that POD Farm had.
The POD Farm clip had no post EQ (and aside from saturation no other psot processing) at all besides a high pass of 90Hz and a low pass of 10Khz, yet it managed to sound bigger, more percussive and more saturated.
