Where's the outboard gear? His sound is usually buried beneath a ton of delay and chorus.

Dunno what's a Wilton, but I'd be wiltin' if I had to listen to that "rig".

Whats with the tape or whatever in front of the mics? Maybe because the mic is positioned right over the cone?

I bet I wouldnt dig his live sound at all.

I mark my cab like that, so I don't have to do mic placement myself every time --- if somebody else is setting mics, it's pretty self explanatory where I want the mic.

I like the mic way out towards the surround --- I would hate to hear the highs coming off those mics that are right on top of the dust caps --- ugh!

Exactly, it's for consistent mic'ing especially on the road. Fairly common practice.
