Great stuff, @nightlight !
I really want a fireball. It's been on my list for a while. Which version is yours?

Thanks. It's the 100 watt version, @NowYou'rePlayingWithPower

Never tried the 60-watt version, but most of the reviews I've read are that the smaller variant doesn't sound as good, like @Techdeth said.

Here me using a Mark IV for rhythm and the leads are the fireball . Both amps I’ve heard you speak of a lot lately . Enjoy

Heard this one in another thread! Serious balls to that tone.

I think it sounds as good if you just recording . But live it got lost in mix

No problem! I am listening to it again! Loving the shred, especially the sweep bits. Never been able to do that.

I highly doubt that! The former statement, not the latter!

because humans don't usually have a single ear located in the center of their faces, which is how a mic hears things.

I do. It’s the primary reason I’ve stopped going outside.

I’m pretty retarded . Lol I have no skills but a guitar .

“I’m pretty skilled. lol I have a guitar (or12). Not retarded.”

Fixed that for you.

In this episode of the In The Room video series, we run a dual amp setup.

The Mesa Boogie Quad is running into an Emperor 4x12 with Eminence Governors and Tonkers in an X pattern. VHT Sig:X is connected to an Orange 2x12 with Celestion V30s.

Audio is captured with a Townsend Labs Sphere L22 microphone.




Be kind and hike the volume, Youtube always nerfs my levels even though they are quieter than other videos. And listen on monitors!

In my day of micing in room, not only would I have a 57 on a cab, maybe an extra 421.
I would also use a matched pair of Neumans for room mics (They were also fantastic as overheads for drums).

I think a set of room mics would definitely help these videos.
Not that you need my two cents...

But Im also about a 57 into a kick drum with a Beta and blending them together for my kick tone...

Thanks for the input!

The whole idea of these videos I’ve been doing is to try to capture the “in the room” sound of these amp and cabinet combinations.

There is no close micing of the cabs in this video. The room microphone is about 3-4 feet away from the cabs and it is set at around ear level.

It’s a stereo microphone, so there is a left side and a right side, which I think is a suitable approximation of human ears.
