String dumpener/muter is it cheating?

Interesting .... so quite a few of you have split into two camps, Use IT/Use it but ONLY DURING recording ...... would be great to see two camps debate. I am kind of leaning to the latter .... I think ..... although I've never seen my hearos George Lynch, Richie Blackmore, YJM, Tony Iommi, Criss Oliva, Uli Roth, Satch, Mick Mars, Vitto Bratta, Nuno, use one back in the day ....

I have never seen Tony use a trem or YJM use humbuckers so should I avoid those features of guitars?

Right, but how many videos of them exists of their studio recording sessions?

At the least though, I distinctly remember Marty Friedman at the least using a scrunchie to dampen strings while reording Scenes. Not sure if the vid is still up.
