no crappier than these here.

i thought 1 sounded like it had a bit more distortion. i took it as a sign of more gain.

anyway, we need photos.

If the positioning wasn't the same, and you were closer than a couple feet from the guitar, the test is kind of goofy, but what the hell.


I would call this test Mickey mouse. But certainly not Goofy. I'm offended sir!

I have a surefire flashlight. It's very bright like 60 lumens or something and has a narrow beam. I use it to see thru the popfilters, mesh screens and speaker coverings so I can determine exactly where capsules and speaker cones are. I also sometimes use it like a laser sight and line it up with the capsule so I can tell exactly where the mics pointing.

And sometimes I use it to temporarily blind the interns and steal their money. What'r they gonna do?

Not all that high tech.

Also it's pretty dark in here.

I do this too, actually. How funny.

Well, not that part about blinding the interns.

I just push them down and take their money.
