Have any of you played with recording guitar cabinets with several mics at different distances? The first time I saw it I thought it was nuts, and then I heard the tracks played back with all 6 of the mics at the same level and it made for a better natural echo than any digital reverb I have heard yet. In fact one of the mics was behind the cabinet. Then the one right in front like always, then 3 feet, then about 6, then about 10 and then one at the other end of the room, like 20-22 feet. Really sounded good and they could play with every channel independently in the mixdown.

Of course it took 6 channels of the mixer to do it, and this was a while back before every kid with a home studio had 24 channels to work with....
