I have a Sure 57 and a cheap condenser. Neither of them are giving me enough "sparkle" or "sheen". I find the 57 to sound rather dull and flat - good for heavy chunking chords. But can someone suggest a mic that would capture more sparkle from my Mesa Rectifier and Rectifier 2x12 cab?

Thanks.
 
sheen? What kind of cheap condensor do you own. I would almost always recomend an LCD over a dynamic for sheen and sparkle. Either a studio projects b1 or an at4040 would be a good LCD for guitar cabs, the b1 being cheaper, and the at4040 having more "sheen."
 
The R121 seems to be popular - but damn expensive! I have an Apex cheapy. Sounds like shite.

Thanks duders.
