"I would have him sing into his main mic and a highly distorted SM57 at the same time — a tape-them-together kind of deal — and then run them in a parallel chain so I could separate them and track them to two tracks. Then I could add any kind of gain that I wanted by bringing up the 57.”

That reads to me that he processed the SM57 with distortion, and used it as a distorted underbed for the main microphone.
