I am experimenting with recording hi gain electric guitar. Just on a lark, I taped two EV676 mics together and put them about 2.5" off center, right up to the grill of a cabinet with a 12" speaker, and then I tried various panning configurations of the two tracks. When both tracks were centered, there was obvious cancellation and the sound was thin, but panned heavily, they do make an acceptable and varied sound depending on where the pans are set.
So my question is, is my method a valid and used technique among engineer's? Any comments about it would be appreciated. There's part of me that thinks it might have some promise in capturing a more complex sound, one that allows more manipulation, but I am also aware of the fact that I could be easily going down the wrong road as there might be problems with it that I am not aware of.
