Mostly, I will be using
this on guitar solos and vocals.

I agree on the use of sterio pair to record it. I am wondering
however... Won't you want to have the same reverb effect for the
drums? I would guess you might want all the intruments to sound like
they are in the same room/sonic space. Just a guess.

Good guess, but no. The solos are really wierd sounding to begin
with, sort of a pshyedelic mariachi solo, if you can picture that. I
want them to really stand out. I am also using the solos as a type of
"relief," sort of like "comedic relief" (man I'm really setting myself
up now, lol.) The rest of the song is pretty hardcore and in your
face, then this spacial solo comes out of the blue like a breath of
fresh air and takes you to a completely different place.

You guys seem to be suggesting using a lot of gear, Larsen even went
as far as recommend six mics and using the guitar amp and playing it
"live" instead of using a recording. In a perfect world, this sounds
great. But, in reality, I'm going to do this on the sly. Would a
boom box, a decent electret, and a minidisc recorder be worthwhile at
all? Keep in mind, this is only for a "pad reverb" and I'll be
keeping the original pristinly tracked solo up front in the mix. I
really don't think I'll be able to unload a moving van worth of stuff
into this place and get away with it.
