Nice tone! If you record from front, you'll get a slightly better imaging and mid-to-high clarity.

I was worried about the sound blasting the mic in that small shed. I think it would have been ok now.

Thanks to all who have followed! These threads and others are what helped me when I decided to do my builds and I wanted to pass my experiences along to others.

Well the 5e3 Build is a year old now and it seems better with age. It is the only amp I play anymore as the Supersonic and my 1st 5e3 are gathering dust. Love the 212 ext cab.
