*"It's good to be as scientific as possible"* *Also: "Okay, lets listen to the blob and non blob sides"* *I love that you're still a musician at heart!* 😎✌️
if you can sweep left to right on your Sim's cab section or change speaker within the same cab then you might be able to find the spot where the blobs are from when they modeled the original cabs.
Interesting. I had no idea the blobs affected tone. I just always gravitated towards putting the mic on the inside part of the speaker on my Mesa 4x12. Sounded better to my ear. Now I understand why. Thanks Nolly!
This is why he is famous for the most heareable and punchy distorted bassist that lives Because this guy knows his Sh*t and is is the reason periphery are as good as they are. Nolly knows his stuff and i'm not surprised a lot of bands seek him out to mix there albums.
This is so validating for me I've been doing this myself got a short while and agree completely. Particularly with eqing after the fact. A more natural top end
Amazing discovery! I will have to do my own testing now. Recently, I've been miking up the outer edge of the cone of a V30 in my Zilla 2x12 Something about the outer cone of a V30 has this great spongy and punchy sort of tone especially when palm muting, I like it! Great video
Finally, there is an engineer saying that high gain tones are better for hearing sonic differences in speakers than clean tones! The more saturated frequency spectrum speaks for itself.
Mind blown! Boooooom! So cool! I've always wondered about another aspect as well. How much of the magnetic field coming off the speaker coil interacts with the microphone's coil. Want to experiment with that perhaps? LOL
Johan Segeborn awesome mate! I’m very grateful for all you do on your channel - thanks for going down the rabbit hole and sharing your finding with the world!
Oddly, I never considered the wire points. However I DO know that speakers sounds different as you mic the circumference. I generally mic closer to the outer edge, & listen to the entire circumference of each speaker in the cab. If you WATCH a cranked guitar speaker, youll actually see different areas of it move differently.
Incredibly resourceful as always Nolly! wow!! The sound samples were all recorded with the 57 pointing straight towards the cab? Not at an angle I mean?
2 questions/thoughts from me..... I have a Marshall cab here with a quad of G12/50M and I notice they don't have the blobs. I wonder what the different construction type is and why. I find them quite warm/dark compared to my V30s and others, but they're old and in who knows what state of efficiency (they sound wicked though!) And 2) I wonder what potential there is for DIY blobbing!? An actual moon gel on the cone - what would that do? And has Nolly already tried it?
This would be interesting to know. LOVE your Zilla 2X12 cab IR that was with your GGD Kemper Pack - definitely doesn't have that harsh top end and has become my favourite IR by far!
Thanks a lot Nolly for this video , really interesting ... I have a question , do you prefer to mic a cab with a grid or without ? Also this would make a difference
How about micing edge of speaker? Ty tabor used to favor that over center in early Kings x recordings. Would be interested in your view as Sonics of those albums pretty unique
Apologies for my ignorance, just starting with these stuff, but what is blob vs non-blob? If I understand correctly the first one refers to the centre of the dust cap and the latter to the edge of the dust cap? Or maybe the other way around?

by the age of 60 nolly is gonna be the music pope... jesus christ this guy is both passionate and just KNOWS everything about every miniscule detail.
Guy is the musical mad scientist of our lifetime. GetGood or go home
sharing the nolledge!
was about to comment the same thing xD

Mate you'd be surprised at the stuff they get away with in scientific writing sometimes lol
I love Nolly’s scientific approach for the eternal tone quest.
TOAN is stored in the balls
the key to massive tone is in the glue globs... astonishing
The Overdrive Files Indeed!
ohh nooo, now the future guitar argument is gonna be which type of glue sounds better on the globs...
Forget tonewood, say hello to the "toneglue" debate.
Look the blue glob glebate gloesnt glave glo gle galken glaglaglguhglahg
I could listen to this man talk for a hundred years straight, and never get tired of that sultry voice.
Gotta release a “blob” IR pack!
My sim software doesn't have blobs. What do I do?!?
if you can sweep left to right on your Sim's cab section or change speaker within the same cab then you might be able to find the spot where the blobs are from when they modeled the original cabs.
Glue is inexpensive. Just put some on your screen and aim the mics right at it.
@@Goldfishclown XD, Too much acid?
@@rohanahlawat5809 Buy a real amp!
Sebastian Smith what amp sim do you use?
Heavy Metal Mister Rogers knows his shit! 🤘🏻
Wow, in mono I WAY preferred the brighter side, but stereo COMPLETELY changed it, thank you Nolly for your genius!
Bruh who even thinks like this?! Amazing as always Nolly!
It's just like watching Bob Ross but painting with Guitar Tone (among others) hahah! Aloha from Hawaii mate!
More like Blob Ross amirite?
I love Nollys analytical approach to tone, so much to learn!
Interesting. I had no idea the blobs affected tone. I just always gravitated towards putting the mic on the inside part of the speaker on my Mesa 4x12. Sounded better to my ear. Now I understand why. Thanks Nolly!

Great be alive at this time to see what Nolly, Plini, Abasi and of course GG are bringing into the mix!
Nolly is an all-knowing wizard when it comes to audio engineering. All the props to him!
Pointed a sm57 straight at a V30 blob. Worked immediately
What's an amp?
Holy crap...I was skeptical hearing him talk about it but then when he played them back to back I was convinced. Damn. Great info. Thanks!
Great to hear someone correctly pronounce solder, and not “sodder”
*STARES AT GLUE BLOBS*
"WAIT THE FUK R THESE M8"
Nolly gets me so inspired to produce... more music!
Such high quality content! I feel high Definition instantly!
This is has helped my guitar tone astronomically. It fits way better in the mix, even without eq!
Awesome, and I can definitely hear the differences in records that have distinct V30 sounds. Some definitely seem to have the blob side tone
Great tip Nolly ! I never new about the blob and non blob.. Thank you !!🤘🏼
I love the depth that this video goes into!
This is so validating for me
I've been doing this myself got a short while and agree completely. Particularly with eqing after the fact. A more natural top end
So much knowledge! Thanks for sharing this.
I fucking love Nolly!
Pure gold. Thank you Nolly this is awesome.

nolly - you're the man! killing it as always
damn. this is extremely valuable content
they should name you a professor already
Finally, there is an engineer saying that high gain tones are better for hearing sonic differences in speakers than clean tones! The more saturated frequency spectrum speaks for itself.
04:36 stereo guitars with blob also have their own whistly frequency
Mind blown! Boooooom! So cool! I've always wondered about another aspect as well. How much of the magnetic field coming off the speaker coil interacts with the microphone's coil. Want to experiment with that perhaps? LOL
Great video! I never considered that could be the case. Thanks for sharing your findings. Gonna try it myself! Cheers
Johan Segeborn awesome mate! I’m very grateful for all you do on your channel - thanks for going down the rabbit hole and sharing your finding with the world!
GOD BLESS YOU NOLLY
Thanks for all the amazing info you always provide
Another very informative video. Thank you so much for helping us !
I see Nolly lesson, I smash like
Thanks for sharing Nolly

I already own the Archetype: Nolly NDSP plugin, but watching this video has me wanting to experiment myself
9:08 "This kind of *Nollydge* " :DDD
the blob side sounds processed! amazing
That boss ass cardigan tho.
So what's the mic placement when y'all recorded Zilla? We getting the blob side?
Never though bout that. My jaw dropped when listening to the Samples.
Thanks nolly
Incredibly resourceful as always Nolly! wow!! The sound samples were all recorded with the 57 pointing straight towards the cab? Not at an angle I mean?
vigaren yep, the 57 is on axis/perpendicular to the grille
*Nolly: Cardigans are my lab-coats!* 👩🔬 😎✌️
nice tip thanks
So how are the archetype nolly captured?
Gerard AM I captured the IRs on the blob side, as is my preference
@@adamnollygetgood5545 Thanks! Good to know
Dude, this is awesome
Dude I love this man
Waaay prefer the blob side. Thanks for the tip!
When is the blob IR pack coming?
2 questions/thoughts from me..... I have a Marshall cab here with a quad of G12/50M and I notice they don't have the blobs. I wonder what the different construction type is and why. I find them quite warm/dark compared to my V30s and others, but they're old and in who knows what state of efficiency (they sound wicked though!) And 2) I wonder what potential there is for DIY blobbing!? An actual moon gel on the cone - what would that do? And has Nolly already tried it?
I wonder if that'd help tame that weird fuzziness of the 5150 type amps. I don't have one that I can easily check out, so I can only postulate.
thanks for this!! VERY interesting!
Thanks! It helps.
So where did you capture the Zilla Cab plugins? Blob or no Blob?
This would be interesting to know. LOVE your Zilla 2X12 cab IR that was with your GGD Kemper Pack - definitely doesn't have that harsh top end and has become my favourite IR by far!
This is fascinating
The cat is out of the bag! Amazing tip bro 🙌🏻
Really interesting, thank you!
To sum up: The Quest for the Perfect Tone is never going to end... 😆
THANK YOU!!
Thanks a lot Nolly for this video , really interesting ... I have a question , do you prefer to mic a cab with a grid or without ? Also this would make a difference
Super interesting video, thanks Nolly! Now if only I didn't live in an apartment and could actually play through cabs...
Sheffield 1200s (1991 5150 4x12 stock cab) don't have this feature, maybe adding to the top end bite that they're known to possess.
Ryan Kearney hmm, I own one of those cabs and the speakers are unusably dark..
"Damping" ;)
I don't think you mentioned how the stereo was miced. Can you reveal that? Thanks!
How about G12 T 75 celestion speakers? There are no blobs.
You are great!
Brilliant
How about micing edge of speaker? Ty tabor used to favor that over center in early Kings x recordings. Would be interested in your view as Sonics of those albums pretty unique
Good video about microphone placement, it just missed the part in which a microphone is placed
Seriously 😂😂
what amp were you using on this video? Thank you for sharing very interesting !
Apologies for my ignorance, just starting with these stuff, but what is blob vs non-blob? If I understand correctly the first one refers to the centre of the dust cap and the latter to the edge of the dust cap? Or maybe the other way around?
Answering to myself: OK, watch more carefully dude? It's the glue blobs idiot!!! 😛
no wonder why each speakers on a cab can sound massively different, got that tip from Spectre
Genius
Neural DSP, Gotta add the blobs on the next update!
bless
So how was Cabzilla engineered then?
WOAH
Hiii nolly!!!!!
In the words of Jontron: OUR PROMETHEUS, WHAT FIRE OF KNOWLEDGE DO YOU BRING TO US MORTALS TODAY!?
Nolledge
DAMN
Well slap me in the face and call me sally!
I like the blob side sound more punchy
Noïce
Nolly: The PokeTone trainer
Sitting here listening to this on my phone during lunch like a simp.
Ps. Nolly is god damn genius.

i was like `w man i really hope the glue blobs sound is the one he like...!! yisss!!!
Damn Nolly! Are you putting on dad weight or muscles? If it's muscles I'm happy for you! If it's dad weight, my bad lol.
I can’t tel if that’s a design on his shirt, or mustard stains
