Word on the street says Zappa used to put Pignose Amps in all sorts of very uncomfortable places, like filing cabinets. The last couple of times I have recorded, I tried to put an extra mic in places they didn't belong. For one group I put a mic in a dryer, covered it with a busted cymbal and turned the gain way up. In another, we built a little steel sweat box for an amp. Both created very strange timbres and frequency mashing that I am using in both projects. I plan on putting more mics in places they shouldn't go. Samples are below.
