My experience has been that once you go below a decent room size space you are compelled to "overkill' the iso space because the reflections are far too dominant and un-natural. The fact that you are recording in basically a closet becomes apparent and there is no way to fix that once it shows in the recording. Also, many of the recordings of amps that we are used to hearing are made with the mic so close to the cone that any room is rendered moot. The iso isn't for all sounds, just a device to save your butt when the traditional approach is unavailable or cost/space prohibitive....in my opinion. Oh course I'd take a recording of a cabinet in a good sounding space over a dead iso cab but circumstances sometimes require the use of an iso.
