Here are some more questions

a)Watching Rock and Randy mic a Marshall cab while Hetfield is playing a double neck Gibson SG, it appears they point a 414 straight up at the ceiling?

b)What are the distances of the various mics from the cabs?

c)How are the Mics placed in relation to the cone?

d)How are the mics placed in relation to each other
"I use them to phase cancel each other, to control the sound like with an EQ but instead of an EQ."
Is this phase cancellation due to placement, or hitting phase invert button on desk?

many thanks Sam
