When a band plays live, do they nessecarily use the same FX gear that they would have used when recording the album? I do some recording and I'm trying to get that Deftones, Incubus type Fuzz/Distortion. They probably use lots of single stomp pedals right? If so then is that what they would have used in the studio, or do good studios have an ultimate/secret guitar fx processor that would just make these pedals look bad? Money is not an object in this.

It's up to the guitar player to reproduce the sound (effect) desired & up to the engineer to reproduce that in the big system. Any more, most guitarists use a rack of some sort in the studio & even sometimes on stage. Don't be fooled by all the big amps you see onstage - I've personally seen MANY that were empty or just had wiring to a red light to make them appear live.

In the studio, many guitarists use small amps that overdrive nicely, and don't need lots of pedals for a nice fat fuzz. Get a studio amp like a Fender Champ or Peavey Companion or whatever the current equivalents are and mic it.

Pedals are almost always used in the studio as well. Pedals, at least the boutique, high quality ones, are all analog, discrete component designs. Digital guitar effects boxes are pretty lame compared to what you can get out of the right stomp boxes. Check out musictoyz.com.

most people have a favorite setting on their chosen amp. live or recording. when you play live it simply goes through the individual channels in the mixer and out through the pa. when recording most seriouse performing bands dont produce in the studio what they cant produce live on stage. that goes for build and! sound.

Oooo...I always record using two cans tied by a string. I'm not sure how that would work on stage. I believe it would feed-back...
have you ever tried to record a cat? man!! It's hard!!
