Oooopps ...did I say 2x15" ?? ..I meant 2x1.5"

If that's a 2x15" cab, that zoom recorder must be the size of a TV and that guitar must be the size of a small aircraft. Did you you mean centimeters? The tone is actually pretty close to your direct sound but with the obvious 'live' sound of being mic'd.

:bigthumb: Good tone there.

If you have 2 mics, have one near the center of the cap (to pick up treble) and one near edge of cone (to pick up bass).

Mix to taste.

..thanks man ......& lol...those are 1-1/2 inch speakers. It'll be a hell of a squeeze getting two mic's up in front of one..:laugh2:

The handheld recorder recorder I used has two onboard (tiny) condenser mics anyway..

I honestly double checked and the OP definitely did not have a long gap with the extra comment before. I checked three times.

Bitter? Very well then. Pretty weird that I missed it but I was pretty drunk at the time.

You'd be surprised how small of a speaker you can get away with in a recording situation. UFO used pignose amps and it's a little known fact that Korn would have combos with 10" speakers mixed in with their recto stacks. It's possible to screw up the capture of a fullstack and have it sound thin or capture a 2" speaker that sounds huge in a mix. I have a challenge for you. Record a song with that setup. Use the Waves MaxBass or newB subharmonic bass generators if need be.
