If I remember rightly, Adam D mic's cabinets with a single 57, 6 inches away from the grille. At 6 inches you get a lot less proximity effect so crank the bass on your amp up. He does really well to get heaps of mid-range in his tones without honkiness too. You definitely get a more balanced sound micing from that far away, but you don't get that deep weightiness of the cab... all the way down at 70-80hz.
His tones definitely aren't the kind I aspire to but I appreciate them. They're heavy as fuck. He's a big fan of quad tracking too. Careful the mids don't get too mushy with 4 guitars!
