Friggin great guitar collection as well.

Love the tone and the playing is killer![]()
Hate to derail the thread but I was curious what you think about your black EVH custom.

It's a 1-12", a Bogner, in a closet. It sits on some sandbags I bought at the hardware store for $2.00Just to isolate it from the floor.
I completely surround it with sound deadening panels I got from ATS Acoustics. These help keep the volume down. The combo of attenuating to -8 or -10 and the panels, and I'm good to go, no pissing the neighbors off! I mic'd the cab with a 57 and a SE VR ribbon mic, both at the cap edge, and right up on where the grille would be (I have the grille cloth removed). That's for the majority of the vid. For the VH bit- and the intro song ("Perplexed")- it's just the 57, dead center on the cap, and really close. API mic pres. That's it!![]()

Sort of. I put it in a 2-12" with a Celestion, and I messed with it- I could definitely see that it was probably what was used on VH1. I was in the middle of doing a Scumback demo, and I was swapping and miking speakers like crazy, and I just didn't have time to really mess with it very long. I was up to my ears in speakers for like 2 weeks and honestly it's exhausting, taking the 2-12" in and out of the closet, get out the drill, remove the back, pulling the speakers, installing 2 more, put the back on, back in the closet, re-mic, play and record 3 different amps... and repeat. Like 10 times. ugh. So I'm just sort of over it I guess is what I'm saying haha....
