A band I am in recorded 11 originals last fall, in a live-in-studio format. I ran DI from my head, post, from a Streamliner 900 with nearly flat EQ settings, and he double miked my fEAFul 15/6, I cant remember what he used, but one on the 15 and one mic on the 6. In mix down he favored the DI and the 6 for OD, fuzz, and chorus effects. We all really love the mix, for which he used no EQ (!!) at all, just panning and level. He used some fancy reverbs on the vocals but everything else was what our rigs produced.
Sounds amazing. He says he lets the Flickinger console and his vintage tube compressors and limiters do their magic and that’s all he needs. The most amazing thing is the worse of a system we listen to the mix on, the better it sounds, relatively speaking. It’s beautifully detailed on good speakers, you can hear vocalists inhaling before they sing, cool “live” stuff like that, but still sounds really good on the crummiest boom boxes we could scrounge up. Sounds great on all of our car stereos. The effects on my bass sound really good, especially my overdrive tone, which is very subtley different from my clean tone.
