Cheers guys, I'd really appreciate if you could check this test:

Please focus on the rhythm guitars. Details:

1- Reamped with X-amp box from FP10
2- No DAW processing
3- 2 guitars for each side as follows:

5150 - Randall XL Cab - 1 sm57 (5 feet from the cab)

4- 2 guitars for each side as follows:

5150 - TS9 - Randall XL Cab - 1 sm57 (5 feet from the cab)

I wanted to test the sound being recorded not close as usual. What do you think?

the tone is workable. sounds really natural and full. but maybe way to unprocessed. i believe that you need to work tones a bit to get 'em sounding perfect
maybe they sound too muddy, a bit dark. but again a lil bit of EQ boosts or cuts can make it sound way better

Thank you Matt! Hope everything is OK over there

out of tune guitars also a bit muddy and fuzzy in general.

5 feet away from the speaker?? Sounds like that... muddy.

try somthing more like 2 inches away

Id definitely move the mic substantially closer. Your losing a lot of power

Thanks guys, I will definitively move the mics closer \m/
