What do you all think?


If electric guitar, people should worry more about the %THD of their amplifiers!

Yup. About 5% of odd order harmonics at normal volume is nice, more if
you want that delicious overdriven valve sound, adjust the tone control
to suit. And make sure that the breakup mode on the speaker cone is
acceptable, linear stiff piston action is not the done thing. :-)

Also, for a different sound, try sticking the mic into the back of the
speaker cabinet, especially if it's got an open back. Sometimes it
sounds better than the front, sometimes not.
