How can I get my guitar to sound like Billy Corrigan's solo on Cherub Rock? Just like tons and tons of power and tone and verging on feedback. It is just so powerful.

The prominent effect on the solo was achieved by recording the guitar solo to two different tapes which were then run simultaneously, with the speed of one tape slightly altered.

I would kill for the following ep sound if anyone has any suggestions on how to do that. I have Komplete 8.

If I wanted to gain as much information about the synths, keyboards, recording tricks, effects that Electric Light Orchestra used, is there a resource or book or anything I can refer to?

Are you trying to get the, uh, "signature Jeff Lynne sound" (COMPRESS EVERYTHING! LIMIT EVERYTHING! MORE ACOUSTIC GUITARS!!!) or looking for info on ELO in general?

This helps a lot. Really though I'm looking for info on things like the album "Time" and the synths, patches they used in addition to production techniques.

Here's some loose information on the recording of Don't Bring Me Down: http://www.soundonsound.com/people/classic-tracks-electric-light-orchestra-dont-bring-me-down

And I seem to recall Tape Op magazine had some articles with Reinhold Mack on the recording of other ELO tracks, if you want to dig through their archives.

This helps too.
