Nice pics, and it sounds like you had a sweet run last week. Hopefully you get to rest up now, but I kinda doubt it

That really is a nice looking head, sparkling clean for used gear. Heck, that's clean for new gear, I bet that amp heads get dirtier than that just sitting around at Guitar Center.
e'erbody
Well, I got some new acoustic panels and I'm trying to judge how much less lively my room is now. They're folding gobos that I can place anywhere, so I basically put them near my listening position so they'd effectively block the untreated flanks of my room, creating a little cave-like dead zone under my ceiling cloud. It sounds way deader to my ears in this spot but only the brutally honest ears of a condenser mic will be the true judge. So I recorded this little snippet of a solo acoustic guitar, but I haven't been able to listen to it outside of my room yet. So I can't judge how much of the room is still in the signal since I'm listening in the same spot that it was recorded in.
This is a Martin D-41 (with super dead strings...gotta change those soon)
Mic is a Shure SM81, about 24" away, pointed at the neck joint
Preamp is one of the ones integrated into my interface
Added a high-pass EQ to take out some low end rumble
And I sent it through Waves L1 to bring up the volume
Sloppy playing but I just made up this riff recently and haven't practiced it much yet.
