I was hunting around for a reason a mic's output could be more towards one polarity than the other and came up with two possibilities. One is if a circuit is clipping one side of the waveform (like a diode clipper) the other is a natural occurance as mentioned in this
SOS article :
"The other element involved in this is that many acoustic sources inherently have a 'positive air pressure bias' because of the way the sound is generated. To talk or sing, we have to breathe out, and to play a trumpet, we have to blow air through the tubing. So, in these examples, there is inherently more energy available for the compression side of the sound wave than there is for the rarefaction side, and that can also contribute to an asymmetrical waveform."
Maybe your mic being close to your amp gets it into this situation, especially when loud ?. It shouldn't be a problem if the signal half isn't short because it's clipped but rather the other side is tall because it's being blown on by the speaker cone (hopefully not too much so that it causes clipping on that side further down the line). I can't tell from your pictures if your waveform is clipped on the Cube at guitar=10 or if it's just lopsided. What do the peaks look like ?
Does this only happen when micing a guitar cab ?
I don't know what the effects on you gear would be if you approach 15a draw on your household circuit. If the living room in question is normal, it's outlets are probably on the same circuit as outlets in adjacent rooms, like a dining room or entrance. So there could be even more things plugged into your circuit. You have a total of about 1500w to work with on a single 15a circuit so you could add up your equipment and see how you're doing.
