It took longer than I had projected but I finally have a half decent recording with real audio gear instead of just an Android phone. Please note this is intended to demonstrate the timbre and touch sensitivity of the amp dead clean and completely raw and unaltered, not to dazzle with playing, effects or style. That will come soon. This is the basics 'cuz everything begins there.
Also please note if you are not already aware that seriously pro amps don't make for ease of playing. That's for beginners. Serious amps designed for artists show every little mistake because that's what happens when an amp is also capable of displaying every subtle nuance in your play style. In this case I made some truly n00b mistakes so try to see that for what it demonstrates of amp response, not playing quality.
This was recorded with an SM-57 and a Scarlet Focusrite Solo as a Mono track with no frills, plugins, effects or alterations of any kind other than Volume Normalization to bring the playback volume up but with not even any limiting.
The Mic was placed about 2 inches from the grille cloth pointing directly at the spot where the dust cover joins the cone on the Jensen C12N. I didn't yet use the Line Outs. It's just the USB interface into Audacity. The guitar is the Lipstick Tube Silvetone beginning on the neck pickup and then, audibly, switching near the middle to the Bridge pickup.
My amp was set as follows
Gain = Off
Volume = 4
Bright = On
Treble = 6
Middle = 2
Bass = 5
Master/Return = 3
Negative Feedback Switch = On (for max clean power)
I'll post one in the next couple days with humbuckers, with a good player within the next 10 days, and in a band context sometime in August.
