The year was 1965. I heard "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" on the radio for the first time. OMG ! 59 years ago. I raced home, grabbed my Silvertone and figured out how to play the riff in less than a minute. Ten minutes more to learn the chords. The internet didn't exist....YouTube videos didn't...

Martin Guitar headstocks are sorta non descriptive, but they sued Takamine. https://www.premierguitar.com/pro-advice/vintage-vault/takamines-martin-inspired-acoustic

You beat me to asking the same question. The fact that he is unable to "declutter" the room is problematic. An empty room lends itself much better at determining the source of reflections. Square room? Rectangular room? Ceiling height? Every dimension matters. Wall, Floor, and Ceiling...

It's not exactly rocket science to capture what the mic is actually *hearing/transmitting* to your DAW or standalone recorder provided it that...

? I said "HUGE" tones. I didn't say "PERFECT" tones. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds (if not thousands) of internet articles and videos concerning mic positioning when recording an amp. Reading and watching YouTube videos is simply fine, but the key to successfully recording an amp...

For what's worth, IMO, it's possible to record HUGE tones from amplifiers whether or not they are rated at 5 watt or at 100 watt. My recording room is 12' x 24', fully treated with absorbers and bass traps. The largest problem I encountered was the loudness of my amps whenever I recorded...
