Yo Guys, So I've had my new Tophat CR 1X12 Deep Cab Tube Rec for a few days now and I really like it but a few of you on the Tophat Forum have helped me decide that I'd like the 2X12 Better. I'm planning on returning it this week and getting the 2X12 Deep Cab for more Bass/Spread/Dynamics etc.
The fellow at Fat Sound mentioned to me that he thought that the 1X12 would record much better and would be better for micing live because it wouldn't suffer from phase cancellation. For those of you that understand what this is, this doesn't make too much sense to me.
People record with 2X12's and 4X12's all the time, not to mention playing live. Wouldn't close micing on one speaker eliminate the problem? And when recording with 2 mics, say one close and one farther away (room), can't you reverse the phase of one of the mics to eliminate the problem there?
Thanks for your input!
