Amp Miking - SM57 + AT4033

[Baz97]

Maybe a pair might be more suitable for me - because I play avant garde music and much of it is improvised. I'll have to see if the 4033's come in matched pairs.
Anyway, thanks very much for your help Velvet Elvis.

Baz,

Try mixing between you 57 mic, and a direct line from you amps preamp (if you have a line out in you amp). But this will only work if you amp is of high quality...

Which amp are you using ?


I have mixed clean strat guitar track this way today and it sounded great and "wide" ...

Gilwe and Baz...

True... this can work nicely on clean sounds... it almost always stinks if any distortion in involved.

I did a bunch of guitar tracks this weekend, and one of my favorite tones is simply the guitar into an MXR Dynacomp, then straight into the board... nice and sparkly.
