[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 143935, member: 2263"] Long story, short, essentially, the move into my new studio. The Classic Lead 80 sounded fine in my old amp closet but when I built out the new studio and amp closet, the speaker sounded much different. As I detailed in my studio build-out thread, I was experiencing phasing due to the 3" Marketek foam I was using and replaced it with a pair of 24x24x4 705 panels and two Producer's Blankets. This "trued up" the closet so I was hearing the exact details for the first time. Unfortunately, I didn't like what I heard. Every guitar track, regardless of module or guitar, had serious midrange bumps (anywhere from 1680-3200). It made the guitars sound thin and weak and even with EQ (which I don't like to do), they still weren't right. I racked my brain until one night, I went to the Celestion website and listened to the YouTube video of all of their speakers. After previewing, I was really impressed with the Lynchback and Vintage 30, which never recorded properly for me in the past (now I know it was phasing, not the speaker). Once I heard the Classic Lead 80, I heard the same exact characteristics that I didn't like in my guitar recordings. So, I took a flyer on the Lynchback, broke it in for 20 hours or so and cut these tracks yesterday. [/QUOTE]
