Rock Speaker\Microphone Shootout (Marshall, V30, Greenback, Creamback, Alnico, 57, 421, U87 etc.)

In this video, I test out how 4 different speakers sound using a variety of microphones in a Rock context.

The same riff, recorded with P90s was re-amped through the crunch channel of a Marshall JVM, into 4 different speakers with 13 different microphones in front of the speaker to see what does what.

All microphones were close-mic'd except the U87 (which was clipping at close-mic ranges so it was pulled back)

Hope you find it helpful!
