Greetings, long time reader, 1st time poster.
I've spent most of my recording time recording various amplifiers (Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, VHT Deliverance, 5150, Framus Cobra) through my Boogie 4x12 slant cab w/ V30s and the common theme I find is that there is always this annoying peaky resonance around 2.5khz. Now, a sharp notch EQ can take care of a good portion of it, but is this normal amongst speaker cabinets?
I recently recorded a Epiphone Valve Jr through a Valve Jr cab and found that there is also the same annoying frequency emanating outwards, so I think that part of making a quality guitar amp recording is to place the mic in a spot that minimizes that resonance while still being clear and balanced.
Any thoughts?
