thanks guys!...it was my first attempt at speaker less. I just have a booth with cabs in it, so the ambience isn't anything worth note.
But using the RL made things a lot easier honestly. My amps are so loud even in the booth if miked that the playback isn't possible being in the same room, and even with headphones on, I had to have the music playback so loud it was hurting my ears, it was worrying me and hurting me!
So at least now my ears are safe. I did track both, and found dealing with all the speaker issues I described, it wasn't worth miking.
The main tone is a 73' Marshall 50 watt head. The solos are a Badger 30 top and the big chords use both the Marshall and 66' Princeton reverb. The PR is also the middle clean tone.
Thanks again for listening!
