When our guitar amps are onstage (and our stages are small little "bar" stages) directly behind the vocal mics and are usually turned up LOUD, there is a lot of bleed into the vocal mics. The amps themselves are usually mic'ed and mixed on their own inputs into the PA. Is there a downside into putting the guitar mics in front of the player facing him in the null of the vocal mic? Does the open back amp cabinet create significant phase cancellation for the FOH? |

Putting open back amps in front of the players is fine, so long as you don't mind that the folks in the front rows can't hear anything but guitar. |

We are talking about small stages here, I'd rather be four feet from the back of an open back speaker than 10 feet from one beaming directly in my face. Most of the 2-4K icepick comes off the center of the cone. |
