Ultimate Marshall Fail!!

and the worst part is it's a Senn MD 421 used live mostly for drums.

You mean I changed the Grill Cloth on my head for better tone for NO REASON??????

Now I'm pissed....

Hey, I jammed in a band once in where the vocalist during certain portions of the song would actually put the vocal mic near the pickups on my guitar during a solo!

 

[charveldan]

I see the problem, the mike isn't "off axis".

Could be modded, add a row of 5" speakers to the head for a strange combo amp and superior trolling ability when you're touring.

Tube mic indeed
In addition to drums, the 421 is a killer mic for cranked amps. Bass players favor them also. Only negative is the cost. Back when I was engineering heavily, my standard amp mic setup was a 421 and 57 up close (and sometimes a condenser like a 414 or 87 far away). Then bring them up in the control room and see what sounds best.

Don't be distressed... changing grill cloth on an amp ALWAYS improves tone!

cheers

No that is funny...!!!!

I also think chicken heads are more focal and should be the first modification to tweak an amplifier.

Also if you are going to change your amplifiers grill cloth make sure to use a high thread count. You do not want any spit or flux hitting the mic.

Now that I see the 'fail' is, I am left wondering what else could it have possibly been. Marshall fail! I scoff at the notion!

I gotta share my first thought when I seen this was 'Oh look, somebody's girlfriend is helping out'. 'Boy if it wasn't for Mary's big tits she would be totally useless'.

Now the question on my mind persists,....Is there any pics or video of a truly catastrophic Marshall 'event' or 'fail'? Hey, I now Marshalls have been built like tanks for years but $#!t does happen. Right? I just never find any proof of that on the net. Anyone got a real fail?

Funny pic though. Kinda reminds me this attempt to capture that Marshall mojo.

Awesome! I wonder if there was any phasing issues?

Observation time:

It's just a pile of gear with the head sitting where the top speaker cab usually sits.

Look at where the mic would be if the second cab was in place.
