Personally, yes, I like to hard pan the texture guitar especially if there are two mics involved but often times we split one mic on one amp across two channels. More plain vanilla but more consistent too.

It’s worth noting that time alignment is an issue whenever two mics (especially on two amps) are involved and it can be tricky to get them lined up. Without corrected time alignment, two amps summed mono can put the guitar in a tin can. In my experience, it still affects the sound panned hard left and right with even a 20ms delay on one channel. Don’t know why. Sometimes flipping the phase on one channel strip will get you close enough.

I laughed out loud. Why? Because it’s exactly how you feel. And that is hilarious.

BTW, thanks for your kind words about my cartoon. I sent it to Clapton, Nathan East, – the Cats – and you’re the 1st to stamp approval.

I’d better start writing better. You’re beating me up!

@Clay – thanks man! stop by the booth tonight to pick up that 5 bucks I said I’d pay you.
