Heck yeah!! It TOTALLY looks & sounds like a Bogner product now. I'm extremely happy with this module...

His tone on the last Lynch Mod record, IMO, was his worst over the years. I don't know what he was using, but it was very undefined and fairly toneless. Nothing like the Wicked Sensation record, which were his best recorded tones IMO.
Kapo_Polenton said:For MikeP who insists the SG Phish preamp MTS module lives up to the real deal, does it sound as raw and dry as this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noNVtzLilds. Now it's on! The brown channel on this demo sounds killer... will be interesting to see if someone with good vid/audio setup (hint hint) can turn out something similar..

How do you mic your guitar cabs and what size of cab do you use?
Kapo_Polenton said:That's a 1 x 12?? ****... I have been looking at a solution to crank an amp and i was thinking about building an iso cab for a 1 x 12. Looks like good results are possible.
Kapo_Polenton said:Also surprised in the choice to use a classic 80. In most cases V30's seem to be the go to's for recording.
Kapo_Polenton said:I guess it doesn't hurt that you have about 4K in the mic and mic pre + converter!
Kapo_Polenton said:I have a presonus and sm57's.. i'm thinking results can very significantly!
Kapo_Polenton said:Thanks for the tips.. I actually have a closet under the stairs in my basement studio that I just cleaned out. I was thinking some DIY acoustic paneling on the door and ceiling in addition to a moving blanket wrapping around the walls inside the closet and a 1 x 12 should do the trick for tracking louder with less noise in the room I'm actually monitoring in. (it's a one room studio type of space where I also have my drums)
I'll consider the classic 80. I personally hate v30's in any cab in front of me but have found that they sound right when recorded and that is why I mentioned them. My goal for the rest of this year is to finish up the studio and be able to get some decent sounds on tape.
Nice. Do you have the mic set in the center of the speaker cone or is it slightly off axis? I can't tell entirely from the photos because of the angle. Does it even matter that much where you position the mic? (Within reason of course)Mike P said:Kapo_Polenton said:Thanks for the tips..

I'd advise purchasing as many 54x54 inch panels as you need and place your cabinet on a carpet facing the foam. I run my master volume on 3 on every track to get my tones and in a closet, it's not very audible, nor does it bother anyone.

Thanks Mike and Whoopysnorp... There are so many subtleties to achieving great tone. BTW. Thanks for the link to the studio foam. Those are some great prices.Mike P said:Daryl said:Nice.

The mic is on axis and it's set about 2/3 to the left side of the cab. With this setting, it catches just a hair of the dust cap, where the speaker is at its brightest, but lots of the cone, where the body and mids are concentrated.
And yes, as Whoopysnorp stated, placement makes a gigantic difference. A quarter inch up, down, left or right makes a big difference in overall tone. It could be buzzier, brighter, darker or have more midrange, depending on which way it's moved. That effect is greatly exaggerated with a small diaphragm mic such as a '57, i5, PR20, etc.
The Mojave 201 FET is a large diaphragm condenser mic (1") and it took a while to find the sweet spot. But once I did, it hasn't been moved in more than a year. I take measurements as well so if anything were to happen, I could place it exactly in the same spot. The tape measure is your friend.

Have you tried Eminence Wizards or Governors?Mike P said:alowerdeep said:Im with you on that ...not a fan of Vintage 30's at all...dont like how they break up or Color tone...I know that is where alot of the love comes from with them..Hated my jcm800 though them....I like speakers that capture the truest essesnce of the tone of the amp and v30's dont seem to do that in my experience....
The early Vintage 30's that were released in the 90's were very good. They blew away the 75 watt Celestion that was standard in most Marshall 4x12's and sounded pretty awesome coupled with the 30th Anniversary Marshall head. But once production was moved to China, they began to sound like crap, all "Ice-pick" and bright.
For that pre-Rolla sound, nothing, IMO, beats the Scumback speakers, although they're very expensive. The Eminence Private Jack is closer to a pre-Rolla Greenback (without the harsh high end) than a V30.

I have 2 Governors in an upright 2x12 .. they rock
But I'm thinking of adding a Wizard for a bit more fatness and harmonics.
