Hey everyone.
I'm having trouble with miking my amp (Fender Blues Jr) and I'm wondering if its just me that finds the SM57 harsh as hell. If I place it right on the front of the speaker it sounds really saturated...and horrible sounding, IMO. Do you guys think is the amp or the mic, or a combination of both thath results in that?
The only way to solve this is by blending with a darker mic or not placing the 57 right on the front of the speaker...but everywhere I read about people placing it right in front and the guitar tone sounds fine.
I'm comparing my mixes to the first White Stripes album (the mic was the same as I've read somewhere), but there is no way I can get the same sounds they got in that album.
