Ken Lewis here. I’m currently producing RockRidge Records artist MIGGS (miggsband.com). This is video 3 of 3 of recording electric guitars for the upcoming Miggs album. This segment attempts to show how to blend each of the four different amplifiers to achieve radically different guitar tones without ever changing the individual amps themselves. It also shows how to phase align the microphones. 8 different mics on 4 amps, blended down to one signal. thats alot of phase coherency to worry about!!! -Ken
