I've decided to start experimenting with room miking my Marshall JCM900. I've been recording the amp at the grill with a SM57beta, but I also own a Studio Projects C3, a Bheringer B2, and a pair of Octava MC012's. The rooms in my house I plan on trying out all have hardwood floors and a lot of natural ambience.
I'm waiting on a few guitar chain pieces (EQ box, and EMG81 for the Les Paul) before I start experimenting, but I'm hoping for some others' experiences to help me get the ball rolling when the stuff arrives.
I suspect that the multipattern of the C3 might yield some interesting results in my lead work and clean rhythms/phrasings, but what about crunch rhythms? Should I focus more on the "uni directional" characteristics of the MC012?
I guess Iv'e got a hundred questions and a lot of experimenting to do, but if you've got some thoughts I'd love to have 'em! My main question is really which mic do you think will help me get the best hard rock tone. I do fine well with cleans.
Thanks for any help, and I hope your brain doesn't hurt now.
