Bob Popp has an idea that's so crazy, it just might work. He's recording guitar out of three different amp and cab combinations using a modded Yamaha Soldano and Marshall SLX-900 amplifiers through a Marshall 4x12 and a modded Sun cabinet. He's got Shure mics of all varieties lined up for the job too, and not just your standard SM57.

Best of all, he's aiming to get his desired sound solely by gain stage levels and mic placement. Bob doesn't even want to touch the EQ knobs. Stay tuned to Gearwire for the next video from Gunpoint Recording Studios and the results of this experiment.
