Re: OT: Tube vs. DSP Amps, Mid Range Vs. Botique, etc
That would be interesting. Or I could just do what a lot of major guitars
players would do at large arenas...you see a wall of Marshalls behind
them,
but if you trace their guitar cable, it goes behind the stage in a room
with
an old 10" Music Man tube amp or something like that. So, basically, I
would
just use mic the amp at a distance, run the mic input to my laptop, and
then
everything else is business as usual at that point. But these days I am
playing more mandolin than guitar with my laptop, so I don't really need
to
run this setup.
