I thought this vid was cool. 100w Plexi and 4x12 with everything on 10. Pete had people come in and play the first thing that comes to mind. A few things immediately came to my mind when I watched this vid:
1: In most clips they let you hear the camera mic and then switch to the mic on the cab. The camera mic is a good example of the chaos in the room. But when they switch to the mic on the cab, it suddenly sounds like the AxeFx. I know I'm stating the obvious but I thought this was a great example to reinforce "in the room" sound vs "mic'd cab".
2: I got the impression that some of these guys have never done this before. Some looked frightened, some didn't know what to expect or that you don't turn the guitar vol up and pause before playing. But overall I think everyone had a euphoric experience (as they should).
3: I'm getting old. I grew up when everyone traveled/gig'd clubs with at least a 50w and 4x12 (bare minimum). I'd practice at concert volumes for the feel and response or just to get my rox off. If you've never experienced even a 50w Marshall type amp at these volumes, do yourself a favor and spend some time with one. You'll be a changed person. \m/
Edit: Thanks for posting the initial link Mr_Fender! Added the video to the OP as initially intended by my frail mind.
