Joined: January 2006 Posts: 2120 Location: Chicago | Thanks DB! I've come up with an easy point-and-click "circle of sound": I plug my Adamas 1581-5 into a little Fishman Loudbox and point the stereo mics of my Zoom H4, one at the Fishman, the other at the guitar. I had the amp on low with a little reverb, yes, no chorus. | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 2120 Location: Chicago | Such nice folks! I continue to marvel at the little ZOOM H4: two batteries, tiny-fixed mics, but if you do it right you get good sound. I recorded the snippet yesterday to a data-rich WAV format and you should hear the CD played through a decent system! Sounds like the studio. All from a point-click cigarette-box with built-in mics! | ||
