I Have A SM57 in front of my combo amp

[guitarstudent9]

Ok I have a SM57 in front of my combo amp and I like it.I have had it for about 6 months.I have Been studying mic placement for about 6 months also with my sm57. I have not got alot of guitar practice in couse im always moving the mic,listening,testing stuff.At first I had a musicians friend 25 foot cabe xlr to 1/4 and I had to turn the gain way up and had hiss noise.But I got a mogami gold 15'foot cable and it is great.I dont have to have mutch gain at all and noise is so low I dont notice it at all.I have the mic placed about 2''from the grill just off center on the cone at like a 45 degree angle.
So I am thinking of adding a mic so I can use 2 on my combo amp at one time one close and one a little more back to get some room ambiance.
I was thinking of a Large Diaphram Condenser Mic Like Rode NT-1A Or I know ya dont like Behringer But the B-1.
I have a yamaha mg10/2 mixer and plan on always playing the amp loud. The amp is in a simi sound treated closet.
But when I stand in the closet I like the way it sounds. I want to get it to my mixer and mix it in with the 57. This was my plan all along. I just read to start with the 57.Am I way Off Base Here???..
..... "I Have A SM57 in front of my combo amp"??

And whats your question?


Are you afraid of micing the amp?

Do you want to record?

What exactly are you asking dude?
about mics?
if its guitars youre focusing on recording and youd like a new mic.
Id recommend the sennheiser 421.
As far as mic placement, it sounds like youre having a blast experimenting.
but if you want advice on that, just search the forums here at the bbs.

late.

Make sure you are going XLR from the mic to XLR in the mixer....
Otherwise it will always suck!

I was asking what mic I should use to mic my laney ft200 combo amp it has a 12'' speaker. I have been using a sm57.
I want to use 2 mics.
I plan to do recordings I do not have a multitrack yet
I record to windows media player alot or cassette recorder sometimes.
I just mainly Monitor.
Couse my amp is in the closet.
I figure I will get a cool multitrack recorder when i get a killer tone and learn more stuff.

Do you guys just stick a 57 on the cab and forget about it?

What mic do you use?
any one use 2?
Im trying to get Heavy metal tone
