This is the video that started me thinking about using an ambient amp for a little added low end and reverb. As far as I can tell, it’s just the little XY mic array of the Zoom H6 recording, but the guitars are plugged into either one or two amps and that sweetens the sound immensely. I’m deaf in ear and have my iPad set to mono playback, so I can’t tell if there are one or two amps.
This is one of the best Zoom H-series recordings of this sort I’ve heard. Over headphones or good speakers, the guitars sound really full and beautiful, and I believe that in large part is because of the ambient amp(s) filling out and sweetening the direct acoustic sound.
Of course the music and playing are spectacular as well...
Anyway, this is what I’m trying to emulate by using my acoustic amp just out of frame. The HypeMic compression should really bring the amp low frequency and reverb sweetening.
