When you said "get out a torch" I thought you were going to burn the grill cloth off so you could see the speaker LOL!
Thank you, you saved my day! Your trick works for me too. Fast, simple and repeatable!!
Very nice lesson. Everything was shown perfectly. Nice playing too. Thanks!

I love marshall silver jubilee
how loud should the guitar amp be. ( Db / SPL ??)
Hi there, loved the vid. Thank you so much for this. One question, you had said to pad the condenser mic? How exactly do you do that? Sorry if I missed it in the vid.
Most interfaces have a pad button on them to drop the input gain to -20 db or close to that, to keep it from clipping. Or if your using a separate mic pre then hit the pad button on that instead.
^ ... Or sometimes there's just a switch on the mic itself. As long as it won't clip at the preamp you're good.
How loud must be the amp ???
A marshall turned up to 6 is actually astonishingly loud 😂
What about checking phase?
When 2 mics are basically the same distance away from the speaker, they are in phase. The only problem is polarity. Unfortunately not a lot of people (the guy in the video included) seem to know the difference. You can switch polarity (and not the phase) on many desks and also on DAW channels by 180 degrees, which means nothing else than mirror the waveform or turning a pluse into a minus. In the video the polarity is ok because the signal doesn't get quieter or hollow when he brings up the second mic' s fader.
That out of tub string was so distracting from the guitar tone ngl lol
How do you record 2 mics at once?
Two preamps and then record each to its own track.
7:50
Where do you plug in the mic?
Into an interface or mixer
your ass
i dont have a mixing board
You can get similar results with equalizer software on your computer. I’m assuming you’re recording into an audio interface?
These go to 11
Interesting, how DO YOU mic a guitar AMP? I only learned how to mic the cab? 😂
Sorry, was just funny to me how it sounds 😊
Dude Marshall’s are very bassy amps lol. Tight but still fat bottom end is like the Marshall signature sound.
If you compare it to something like a Boogie or an amp on the more American side of the voicing scale. The Marshall can have a lot less bass in comparison. Think about how massive and fat a Dual Rectifier, 5150, or a Mark Series amp all sound.
Without the deep switch those old jcm2000s sound very thin and buzzy, you have to crank the bass up. Even the new DSL100HR won't sound like a 5150 or anything.
6:53 😆👃👆
Really???
yes really
Definitely didn't sound that great at all lol
As soon as I hear an out of tune guitar I lose all respect for someone trying to tell me what to do.
really gonna put a condenser that close to the amp? i thought condensers were best at distance for a room sound.
these go to eleven
yes they do🥹
