First attempt at recording with an amp, instead of running direct.

MIJ 1993 Strat - BB Preamp - Tone Press - Visual Volume - Strymon Bluesky Reverb - 2x DD20 - Vox AC15 (Greenback) - Shure Beta 58A - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 - Reaper

Original track left, guitar right.

hah the amp sounds like the speaker still needs a lot of breaking in, that or the mic is simply not doing things justice.

but still from one edge nut to another, nice one bro.

Me thinks it's the mic. Or rather, the person to placed the mic there. Lolololol. The amp sounds killer on it's own, bright but without any harsh top end. The mic-ed up tone was a lot brighter and harsher even though I had the mic placed at the edge of the cone. I must be doing something wrong still. Lol. But thanks for the feedback!
