Posted this on my team board but wanted to get a little more exposure.

I taped Oteil and the Peacemakers last weekend at an outdoor venue in Tampa called Skipper's Smokehouse. I ran Studio Projects C4 (xy, fob, dfc) > Wmod UA5 > JB3. It was my first full recording with the JB3, and from a technical standpoint, it worked fine. I love the simplicity.
But listening to the recording on disc leaves me less than pleased. The bottom end is very heavy, borderline distorted. It certainly did not sound that way that night and I'm puzzled as to what could have introduced such pronounced lows. In my car it seems as though I've got a subwoofer. Which I don't.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure if the JB3 is the culprit or the UA5. The bass roll off was off, by the way.
Some have suggested the combination of wmod and c4 isn't the best since the mics tend to be warm themselves. I've never heard others having issues, however.
