These twin mic bars look quite handy but what about phase problems? I thought the rule of thumb to avoid phase cancellation was to have x-y mics separated at a distance of 3 times the distance from the source. If so then these mic bars would only be safe with very close micing.

I use my discman headphones occassionally for imprompteu recording sessions. Why? Because I've often got them with me (due to the nature of a discman) and sometimes I come up with something good while I'm at somebody else's house. The little fellas plug straight into most home stereos' mic...

I've had a Vax 700 for about 6 months now and I love it. BUT if you want a 58 Les Paul Standard sound then you'll need a 58 Les Paul Standard. What I want is a range of different sounds without needing a range of different guitars. I don't care if it doesn't sound exactly like the guitars it's...
