Period.
I've tried using this damn thing for 2 years now and I absolutely HATE it.
Had it in the box for a good amount of that after my initial disenchantment with the product (could it come with worse headphones?!). Then I bought a nicer mic (e609, for guitar samples) to record my '57 Twin amp. This led to even more disappointment. That twin sounds damn good, but just CAN'T get it to sound good on the recording. I've tried various placement of the mic at various points of the speaker about 4-5 inches away and all I end up with is mud and $hitty overtones. I try to work the EQ but no matter what I do, it still sucks. I have two bars of red coming up, but not the third - which is what someone here recommended. Also, when tweaking the EQ, I find I have to have the headphone volume almost all the way up to get an accurate idea of what my guitar is sounding like. What's up with that!?
Again, it lets me record clean tones fine. But when I want some grit, or some grind in the tone, it just goes south, FAST. I'm ready to pitch this piece of crap out the window.
Can someone shed some light into this? Surely I'm doing SOMETHING wrong...
And no, I wasn't the one who bought it, it was a christmas present a couple years ago..
