We saw Sue Foley last night at NYC's Iridium. Nice club with very nice guitars on the walls.
Sue is a really great blues /rock guitarist we discovered by chance when we wandered into the blues tent at NOLA's Jazzzfest last spring.
Anyway she has some sort of Fender combo, possible a Blues Deluxe. But she had it the front/speaker facing the ceiling. It was sitting bridged across a couple chairs, I think, and miced. I've seen bands there in the past and you tend to get an uneven mix, especially sitting close or directly in front of someone's amp. In this case the mix was even and excellent. Got a chance to speak with her after teh show and she told me she stole the idea from Jimmy Vaugn. Great idea.
