Sound City 50 Plus head? how about a pair of Fane Crescendo speakers? next pick: EV SROs (later ceramic magnet version is the ancestor of the 12L, earlier version apparently used an alnico magnet and is supposed to have a looser, smoother low end.) just try some things out with the head and use your...

had the Rhino "Incredible Collections" CD from 1991 on repeat on and off all day.

did this one time using the line level input on my Line 6 POD Pro switched to "manual" with the Fuzz Face model and the gain dialled back. disconnected the speaker sim and needed some aggressive low cut to kill the thump, but it worked. i need to try this with my Tone Machine pedal, never tried the ...

wow, that's pretty impressive!

on the super cheap, Musician's Fiend sells both square and round necked spider resonator guitars by Rogue for $200 without a case.

mixed reviews.

they usually run USD $20-$25.

biggest downsides: somewhat hyped bass and slightly muffled mids compared to cans priced $100 and higher, but still listenable.

for our pleasure.

arrived today.

Sometimes I'll take breaks during sessions...

on an acoustic it would probably keep the top from vibrating and mess badly with the tone. so i wouldn't think it would be a good idea.

i've seen photos of drummers in the studio with a Crown PZM taped to their shirt over their chest. i tried this years ago and it sounded great to me when augmented with a second mic on the kick. you can certainly add more mics from there, but it seems to be a good starting point sometimes.

same here.

i get around having to shave off top by recording with dynamic or (less frequently) ribbon mics to start with.

get it happening as you put it down with the mix in mind.

this isn't really possible when you're mixing tracks someone else recorded, though.
