cool thx

 

[musickey]

Wish i had the cash to go to one of his classes....

 

[JonWormwood]

he couples the cab (no casters) to the ground? Weird.

 

[MetalMiller]

I like the phse flip trick. Thanks!

 

[StoneLord]

Evil Joe made it through the whole thing without a single 'fuck you'. Well done.

 

[Zack Uidl]

Having no casters sounds strange to me....but I am going to try it...

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I personally hate having to use a flashlight to point a mic at a speaker.

This video is really well done though so kudos.

Good video, although I find the caster thing a little weird too.
I'm either usually working somewhere with an overly bright wood floor or crappy thin carpet so I put the cab on a milk crate so minimise floor reflections.

I wonder why he bashed the "Fredman" technique.

I don't think he bashed it so much as he said it wasn't for him.

I personally don't care for it either and find myself sticking to the ol 1 57 on axis.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

Evil Joe is the man!!!

 

[Uros]

Good video and it's nice to see he doesn't over think it. Just goes with a common sense approach and if it sounds good it is good.

so I put the cab on a milk crate so minimise floor reflections.

never heard of that trick before, fucking great idea!!

I'm usually using a combination of a piece of concrete sandwiched between 2 pieces of foam (only if I'm not using catsers...which is the case for some of my 4x12 in which the bottom speakers sound better, so I put them on the side with the good sounding speaker on top)

i didn't entirely get it... He flips the phase on one channel and moves the fader up, until the two signals eliminate... How does raising a fader solve phase issues?

I think he uses the phase flip to help in choosing placement of the second mic, or to at least make sure the phase cancellation is helping. I do it all the time, flip the phase and sweep around the second mic and get the most nasty, horrible, fizzy tone and when you flip back, thats whats been cancelled when adding the 2nd mic.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense and is the way i usually operate. Maybe i just misunderstood him.
