Boosted with a BOSS SD-1 for extra focus and punch. **Mic’d with** • Sennheiser MD421 (main, on-axis) • Shure SM57 (adds definition and bite) Summed to mono via a Radial passive mixer for tight phase coherence. **Cabinet** Marshall 2536 2×12″ (Celestion V30) --- #Capture Chain • Re-amp interface: IK Multimedia **TONEX Capture** — LEVEL knob at 12 o’clock (≈ –12 dB pad) • **Send Level**: –9 dBu RMS at the amp input (DAW output –10 dBFS RMS ≈ +3 dBu RMS) • **Return Level**: Trimmed so the DAW reads –10 dBFS RMS (≈ +3 dBu RMS) • **Signal Path**: Guitar → BOSS SD-1 → Dual Rectifier Red Ch.
