How to choose the best microphone for your electric guitar amp
Because a great amp sound deserves the right mic for the job...

I have 13 ! And 7 of those are 2 sets of drum mics.Everybody has 15 or 20 mics!
I kind of agree with this, yet, when one reads through what was being used even in the 1960s, there was a huge choice of mics.saturation city... too many choices!
I agree. I also find that even with 13 microphones, {9 dynamic, 4 condenser}, the scope of combinations and positions is ridiculously high !Play with the ones in your mic drawer, pick the setup you like and stick with it.
that's interesting because I have one solid body electric in particular that has a great acoustic sound and I have recorded it without an amp and it sounded excellent.Also, one to file away in the back of one's mind for future use ~ playing a6 or 12-string electric guitar without an amp or sim and recording it as an almost acoustic. Great sound, if you like that kind of thing ~ which I do.
This ^^^^^^SM57 on the grill here,
maybe even a blanket tossed over the amp and mic too.... keep it simple.
