I believe the "Phase" issue might be coming from the rear side of the "mid" mic. Since the Fatheads are both figure 8, there seems to be another element that is causing a perceived phasing, the back-side of the "mid" mic. To my understanding, this is why you use a cardioid or single source as the mid mic (like the SDC that Acoustic Cloud mentioned), in an MS configuration.

Guitar sounds beautiful, nice chops too!

I purchased an original Fathead directly from Cascade several years ago Serial Number 606. I have ben very pleased with it and wish I would have bought 2 to do a Blumlein back then.

low_z, I have a question for you. Are these the newer "Round Backed" Fatheads?>FatHeads II? or the older version?
