- no timbral impact
Mic Distance (inch)
- Distance 0–1”: ultra-definite
- Distance 1–3”: balance
- Distance >3”: very natural
Low (dB)
- already clean bass
you can:
- boost slightly
- or leave flat
High (dB)
VERY DELICATE PARAMETER
- already very bright

- 0 → ideal
- +1 → air
- beyond = harsh

Pro Tips
QUICK SUMMARY

- character: bright / hi-fi
- strength: definition
- risk: harsh
ON DARK CAB (PPC, Orange)
PERFECT opens the sound completely
ON MODERN CABs (VHIII, 6505)
very defined can become too bright
ON VINTAGE CAB (Windsor, Vintage BR)
adds modernizing air
ON HI-FI CAB (TVX, SW Giant)
risk: → too clinical
solution:
- use OFF-axis
- lower high
PRO
ultra defined very hi-fi perfect for clean opening any cab
AGAINST
can be harsh little “vintage” too revealing (not forgiving)
