Ok

Two versions of this photo. One with the bottom cab also miced and this one. Which is the photoshopped version?

[moody]

Whoops, this one... you can see the cable end suddenly.

[moody]

Original.

Can I just say, Epic fail for the photoshopped version.

I am certainly a n00b, but why would there also be a mic for the head?

it's called the "way off axis" micing technique

That is what makes the photoshopped image an epic fail. It is already funny and adds nothing to that.

I didn't take the photo or mess with it but it seems to me that the photoshopping was done to clean up the image to get the point across.

In the un-shopped pic I don't see any mic there on the actual speaker cab, it just looks like more of that funky mic mount and a bit more of the same cable going around in a loop.

[swarley]

there is definitely a mic there. There's a mic cable connected to it as well

[JM350]

I see what you are talking about there is a small flattish looking mic below.

Anyway like I said I guess it was photoshopped for effect, pretty funky mount there I suppose with a full stack it would be used to mic a speaker on both cabs.

Oh man :facepalm: yet i could see myself doing that (with the influence of alot of beers ):wave:
