First, here's my setup:
Behringer Eurorack UB802 Mixer
E-MU 0404 Soundcard
Steinberg Cubase SX2
Behringer B2031A monitors
Audix i5 microphone
I'm trying to record my 1x12 Crate Palomino 30W Tube combo amp with a modified Boss Metal Zone MT-2 pedal and Jackson SL2H guitar with Seymour Duncan pickups (JB/Jazz). I mic the amp by placing the mic against the grille right at the center of the amp. I run the mic -> mixer -> 0404 -> Cubase. I recorded acoustic guitar and it sounds great. But when I try to record distortion guitar it just sounds like it has no balls. It sounds nasally and crappy. I use the old trick of recording two guitar tracks and panning them left 75% and right 75% and it helps but it still lacks that in your face tone. I've tried moving the mic around the center position seems to capture the most fidelity.
Any pointers?
