Thanks for listening & commenting guys, this is the first amp I've owned in a few years, I've been using ampsims for the last 3-4 years. And, this is one of the first attemps I've made actually using the mic'd amp thing, so I know my sounds should only get better with time.....
On this clip, the volume of the HT-5 was actually pretty low (my wife said it wasn't though
), only on about 2-3, with the SM 57 about an inch from the grill, about where the cap meets the cone. I moved it a little toward the edge of the speaker (not much though) to kill some of the fizz.....
The stock speaker isn't crap by any means, but I'm leaning toward another cabinet with different speakers before too long. Most likely, I'm gonna go with the V30's.....
I have tried the emulated out, & while it doesn't sound crappy, that defeats my whole reason of buying this amp, I could use my ampsims for a "direct" tone, while sims have came a long way in the last few years, I personally think they still can't compete with a real amp, mic'd up. There's things that modelers/ampsims just can't replicate yet, like the air that gets moved when using a real amp.......
Thanks again for the listen(s) & comments!!!
