I mic up my Johnson JT50 Mirage amp with a Sennheiser e609 and put it through a Behringer MX2004A mixer into a crappy (onboard a gigabyte motherboard) sound card. I have experimented a little with mic positions and also with mixing the mic'ed sound with a direct out sound, as well as recording just with the direct out sound (also through the mixer). To my ears the tone on recording just does not sound like the tone I hear in the room with my amp. Its harsher, sustains less, is less resonant and just...I don't know..."cheaper" I guess. I am relatively new to this game and have (very) limited funds. Should I :
A: Invest in a mic preamp.
B: Buy that Gina24 I have been lusting after.
C: Change the configuration of my setup.
For techy types who are not familiar with my equipment here are some links :

Mixer - http://www.behringer.com/eng/products/eurorack/mx2004a.htm
Mic - http://www.sennheiser.com/evolution/evomic/evomic.html
If it helps any I play through a USA Strat mostly.
Thanks in advance,
Pap.
