Hey all,
This is my first (quick) take at trying to capture a 'live' tone from my guitar amps, what you'd hear while playing in the room. For this test I'm playing my Cameron CCV Pre-Production amp through two Marshall 16-ohm cabinets from the late 70's: a straight cab with Celestion G12H-30 Blackbacks & a slant cab with Celestion G12-65s. The guitar is an '89 ESP Kamikaze I with a Seymour Duncan Alnico II JB.
I'm using the stereo condenser mics on my Zoom H6 handy recorder as the room mics, with a Royer R-121 into one of the XLS ports & an AKG C414 XLS into the second port. Everything was recorded in one take and I've split the original into two recordings: the AKG + H6 & the Royer + H6. There's a good chance my next couple of clips will definitely have to be recorded in a room other than the basement... I hear a ton of reverb from the H6 track.
Let me know what you think! I'm leaning more towards the AKG C414 XLS combo.
For those interested, here's a link to the raw recordings in a 24-bit 96KHz format, which can be opened in Audacity:
