Another thread here on the Forum reminded me that amps can be extremely easy to record, or a bit more challenging.
I've always favored amps that could get great sounds on tape or hard disk without too much fussing around.
"What's meant by 'easy to record', Les?"
"Stick a 57 or a 421 in front of the cab, hit record, and it sounds like a record."
"Then what's 'fussing around'?
"Having to dick around with placement to the nth degree, set up a room mic, etc."
"Fine. Then what amps are easiest for you?"
"I'm going to let everyone else discuss this before I chime in. I've been blah-blah-blah-ing for way too long about this stuff. I want opinions from other people because it's an interesting topic! Therefore, I think it should be open to discussion without my comments influencing opinion."
"Dude. You NEVER influence anyone else's opinion."
"That's probably a good thing!"
