How do YOU record guitar?
How to mic a guitar amp is a very debateable subject. I'm in the market for some new mics, and would like to hear everyone's suggestions. I'll probably use a 57 with another mic on the cab, and maybee a NT1A way back to catch some of the room tone... I'm going for a deep hard tone that's not too crunchy and a good clean sound as well. Ribbon mics? Yea/No?

Re: How do YOU record guitar?
Well, with all the processing available, I like to record my guitars direct, that way I can always change the sound and am not stuck with a distorted sound. or what not.
My vote is direct, you can morph the sound as much as you need.

Re: How do YOU record guitar?
if you've got a ribbon mic, definitely try it out. i've been starting to use a Royer ribbon mic a few feet back from the cab, and it gives it a nice feel.

Re: How do YOU record guitar?
Ribbon mics rule!
I however do not have one YET! but will soon enough... what I have been doing is this: Guitar cab - either clients 4 x 12 or my boogie 2 x 12... E 609 thru the Vintech 1272 - 2 to 4 inches from cone for all.... adjust for sound ya know?? E 609 Thru the Trident S 20 SM 57 thru the Trident S 20 Gotta disagree with the direct, however.... I sometimes run the guy into a direct bx so I at least have the signal. If it is a solo guitarist for the band only, then why not. More to work with. Set levels to the desired sound and check for phase. I have been getting some FAT sounds from that setup. - Doc

Re: How do YOU record guitar?
I recently had good results with a AKG D112. It was 2 inches away from the grille and slightly off-center of one of the speakers. Had to tip the cab backwards about 30 degrees. Also, I used an AKG C414 a few feet back.
I also will use the Sansamp PSA plug-in on an already distorted track if it needs more tweaking.

Re: How do YOU record guitar?

I juts checked out a sansamp which i'm pretty sure you can record direct and it sounded awesome so maybe this is an option you can think about i am seriously considering it.
