They really dont do the closet justice....There is about 3 feet to the back of the cab....1 foot on each side.....and then about 3 feet behind the wall o bass trap Its just a PILE of ultra touch insulation all the way up the wall. lol

This sounds fucking awesome, dude! Great 5150 tone out of this! Setting/pickups/boost by any chance? Only complain is that it might be a little bit edgy in the high end but honestly I'm loving the grind, and that could easily be tamed by an lpf!

Also, loving the right-angle SM57 in the bag.

I will say there are some 'groove' issues between the guitars + drums on some of the riffs, probably just do to programming, since the gtrs are tight with eachother.

Aye fuck yes - knock your mids down by 1.5 and you have literally my exact settings with an 81/boost/5150/Mesa 4x12 setup.

sounding very nice, wish i had a cab closet :-(

Wow sounds good...I'm a little surprised it came out ok with the cab that close to the wall on the side...I would never have done that.

tone kicks ass, it reminds me of older in flames stuff, which i love!

is that tone pretty much just straight from the mic or are you using any post eq?
