Just arrived, my new Blackstar Club 50 head and 4x12 cab:
 I'll either go deaf or my wife will kill me, but either way I'll die happy  And after just 5 minutes messing around, I am closer than ever to the sound in my head! Now I need to figure out the best way to record it so I can post clips! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Feb 6 2012, 10:03 PM)  Nice! Looks pretty darn spiff I must say! When recording a beast like that, I'd humbly suggest a death metal approach SM57 Center cone off set 45 degrees to enhance bass response. Secondary mic in the room if possible for mixing in reflections. But heck, stick as many mics as you've got on it, and blend them and pan them across the range L to R and it'll sound HAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGE.LOL, thanks for the suggestions - I have an SM57 ready to go QUOTE (tonymiro @ Feb 7 2012, 03:29 AM) Use the Haas effect, also point the SM as Todd says but maybe towards the point where the cone and dome meet and cover the same position with another SM57 but pointing straight at the position. But I'm sure you know how to get a good mic'ed sound anyway. Anyway, gratz Andrew  .When you say you might go deaf - amp to loud or is it from your wife complaining? Thanks - I'll need to get another SM57 then, obviously QUOTE (Ivan Milenkovic @ Feb 7 2012, 05:17 AM) Wowy, congratulations Andrew, that thing is a beast man On the topic, it's a coincidence that I just played this very amp two weeks ago in one new studio that opened up. It's a modern voiced amp with somewhat scooped mids. I would recommend trying it with tubescreamer in front to increase definition and mids a bit, and trying it on another cab as well. It's a very powerful head and cab, with plenty of bass, and it sounds excellent dry, on it's own. Lot's of sounds available definitely. With this much gain I didn't think I would need a TubeScreamer, but now you mentioned it I will definitely try it! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
