The one song I have here is mic'ed, the slow heavy one that I have dubbed "Indian". I had to play with that thru Cubase's software to get the sound how I wanted it. It took a while to get it just right. If I have only one issue with Cubase LE is that it doesnt have a decent graphic EQ, unless I just havent found it on there as of yet. I am still trying to learn this software. The other 2 I ran direct with the Boss with very little tweeking.

There is something to be said about running direct. I have done it in the past with bands but have always wound up mic'ing to get the feel of the celestions, when I had cabs with them. There is something about celestions and a mic that sounds so good and warm. The sound I got running direct seemed too brittle and harsh with no warmth. For recording, I think its great. But you would need good cabinet simulators on processors to acheive a good tone. I tried my old Tube Works head running direct for this recording and it sounded like total shit with a hum and all. I like this ME50. It does a good job.

		MM You know,several years ago a friends band was doing a gig and they had a issue with a mic for the guitar and they had no spares,so we ran him direct from his head a vinatge Randall RG 100 thru a 412 with the Randall Jaguar spkrs. decent tone for sure,but by going direct his distortion was so in your face intense,he swore to always go direct from there on out. He and the other guitarist started using those Hughes and Kettner red boxes instead of mics. The other guitarist was using a Peavey Triumph 120 head thru Peavey cabs,but I don`t know what type of spkrs were in those.
