hey guys....i know that the SM 57 is the standard mic for guitar amps
but i was on the shure website and they said that the SM 58 is the same mic as the 57 , only difference is the shape of the top part of it ....and my friend is going to lend me his 58 tomorrow
I've only started micing my amp using a £20($40) uni directional dynamic mic...and it actually sounds ok to me ....
should I expect a major improvement when using the Shure SM 58 ....
oh and i play an epiphone les paul and am trying to get as clean sound as possible ....with very little bass ....so this means i should place the mic straight at the cone about 3 feet away?????....any advice on the tone controls on the amp and mixer?
and for distorted les paul guitar ...place it about 1 inch from the cone ...??? and use less ditortion than i would actually expect to need ...???
PS i use an alesis 8 channel mixer....and this goes direct into my line in on my PC
