It's fine, say what you heard. I was just surprised because to me it's a really fat sound, which I love, and I don't hear anyplace where it sounds like it's about to feedback. The only thing that's not great but I can look past it, is when you play a chord and let it ring, the overtones have a tinge of flanger like effect. But that would not be audible in the band situation. Which is a big test as I found headphones and amp are two completely different environments when it comes to this.
Regarding mic'ing, that's the hardest thing about this process. It's a crapshoot a lot of the time. Just when I think I have standardized the flow, I can't get anywhere near what I got last time by repeating the same things. Very tricky to be consistent. It's like, the basic voice of the instrument is there but it's EQed differently just about every take even if I'm repeating the same steps with the same mic position. I suppose that's the nature of digital algorithm, with the slightest change, it will interpret things considerably different.
I just found out about this guy, Cuki. You can send him the files of your mic'ed sound and the pickup sound and his online tool will create an IR for you. Apparently it's very good.
Hi Guys,
I recorded my keeper with a condenser mic, focusing on the 10th fret. I picked strings one by one, not letting them ring, using open strings and barre chords at the 3rd, 5th, and 10th frets. I'll share a sound sample tomorrow after applying low and high pass filters at 120Hz and 14,000Hz to clean up the sound. I might create a video to explain the entire process later.
Domo arigato Mr Roboto.

Wow incredible detail, thanks Buco! I was literally getting ready to buy that pedal
Thanks. A lot of it isn't really needed once I realized I could use the Focusrite preamp - interface instead of the Headway pedal preamp. The results improved multifold. But skip even that and just go with Cuki method.
