So I took a knife and fuckin' did it :::GORE INSIDE:::

[~BURNY~]

So fucking what? Cry me a river...


(Yes, It's an heart breaking experience)


Eeeew at the dust inside btw...


Did it make a difference? I believe so but I have no evidence yet.

Flashlight no more! Fucked with a knife!

OHHHH

She looks naked...

And melancholy...

And violative...

 

[slashvanyoung]

If I wouldn't want to use it live, I'd probably do that too.

 

[~BURNY~]

lol @the naked cat.

And yes I bought it purely for recording.

What sort of results do you get if you go "into the speaker" so to speak?

 

[ttrentt]

Didn't we just have a huge thread were guys were actually backing off the speaker and not trying to get closer? (Adam D thread???)

 

[~BURNY~]

@Kev. Starting at about 3 inch away from the speaker, progressively pushing the mic nearer (maybe 0.5 inch) then pulling away again:

Putting a piece of the grill cloth between the mic and the speaker:

(first without, then with the grill)

Yikes, that starts to sound pretty godawful when you get super close, but I wasn't too crazy about it at 3" either; once again, middle ground ftw!

Agreed.

Redid a cleaner with/without test. Nothing scientific as I'm physically holding the grill against the cab but still surprising...

This reminds me, when I make a rear loaded cab it's going to have a removable grill.

I'm definitely hearing a difference here. The grill cloth is a bit more muffled.

When I make my cab I'll use one of those plastic grills
Not exactly this one:

 

[Ermz]

Looks way cooler. Though I think the grill may actually be killing the sort of highs you don't want in a guitar sound.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure without the grill it sounds better.

 

[dani]

man that's ugly.. haha

also, if you get any closer to the speaker, the coils in the mic will directly couple with the magnetic flux produced by the coils in the speaker!

which by the way doesn't sound so hot.

thanks,

You guys wanna make me go FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
If it's good enough for the big names, it's good enough for me.
Not that I can really compete yet nor I am pretending to.
Of course I won't put the mic as close as 0.5 inch, I was just trying to answer Kev's question.
I have the feeling that there's a sweet spot slightly further than the frame tho.
And that's really interesting.
About the hf, well at least I can choose If I need them or not.
