what kind of asshole mic's the top of an angled cab said a RigTalker..

Angled or not makes far less difference than moving a mic one degree. Its funny today that numbnutzes think a single mic getting kicked over on a stage with drums and bass guitar leaking into it somehow sound better than a studio full of microphones in an ideal capture environment, but they are in fact that stoneage
 


 
Even Steve Fryette recently said in his cab video with Kohle that micing the bottom speaker can introduce too much lowend and low mids and that micing a top speaker in an angled cab is perfectly acceptable.

Love how smooth the top is with a bit of foam.

Basically, Bognering a 4x12 rules.
 

I am so confused, where did this idea that you can't mic the angled part of the cab come from?

Is this like an actual thing, or did someone on the internet make it up?

It honestly sounds like something that got made up on the internet.
 
Dude. We all have our limitations. I mean, I sound like crap with left handed guitar strings

Have you heard this before??! How did I miss this bit of homespun wisdom after spending all my my adult life recording guitars?!
 
Didn't Nolly say the top speakers were always his go-to for micing because speakers parallel to the rear wall get a buildup of low mids and a cancellation of very-slightly-higher mids?
Actually, that mid character of the top speakers is because of the extra bracing according to Steve Fryette. I think Nolly is wrong on that one.
