My dad told me that on more than one occasion, while going to see a symphony or orchestra, they were making a live recording of it. To do this, they actually brought out a mannequin head which had two microphones placed at...- Inquisitor

So, since I'm in the amps forum anyway... I'm lookin' for a portable amp of some kind. I know its not a "full size" as per this forum, but I figured while I search and read I'd toss that out there.- Inquisitor
