Jonathan,
It'd have to be an ambient mike on the front with an enclosed cab of course.
I don't think it's actually that easy to get an out of phase effect using
two mikes in that way - maybe its because they'd need to be very accurately
placed, but I've recorded amps using that method hundreds of times and I've
never heard it in that situation. You can't miss it if it happens - its a
very distinctive effect.

Alan, All:
Mic'ing the rear of an amp is a great technique, which
of course, assumes an open-back combo amp.
With this technique, however, you may have to flip the
polarity of the rear mic to improve phase coherence.
Otherwise, if the rear mic is picking up sound out of
phase with the front one, the end result will be
diminished low end. If you *are* looking for a
skinnier guitar tone, this out-of-phase'ness may work
for your track.
