For recording electric guitar (I play ambient, some distortion, lots of reverb, delay, etc.), which would work better and why, the Electro voice RE20 or the Shure SM7B?
As a followup question, which would be better for recording vocals?
I wish i had a sm7 so i could join in. I got two RE20's (that's just about right most of the time
Bass, kick, aboslutely 'live in the studio voc (and/or not 'live in the studio voc. Best I've heard yet for 'get up on and not sound like ass. (But then the sm7 has a nice filter and cage that keeps you back off the cap too.. Likie on acoustic inst too-- no proximity, (check out the off axsis curve! Both really cool bits of the kit.
Honestly though haven't tought of (read tried) it as 'guitar cab. It has a bit of presence bump up quite a bit above your sm57 for example.
It'd be interesting to hear if that response sort of makes for fizzy' on crunch guitar.. maybe off to the cone edge slips it right in..
