@phriend2spin Close sm57, room ribbon mic, room stereo condensers. This was used to achieve a sense of "being in the room" with the amp. No reverb was added.
$3600 to $3900, I played on in person running the gain high like a heavy GNR sound and this thing is amazing. and the bass it throws out is crazy!! you can feel your guts vibrating

MY GOD this is TASTY... lol you can hear brads tone... but its AWESOME regardless of how you play it... i have been a mesa fan forever... and this amp might have converted me...
the only tone that sounded really great was the strat, everything else sounded a bit mediocre to be honest. not bad, but just not as great as you'd expect from a high end boutique amp
