RE: Mike for Recording Guitar Amp



You might try the  Shure beta 57 as it has more output and better feedback rejection and sounds like a slightly more present and beefy sounding 57 to my ears. I’ve been happy with mine. The Betas are even more rugged than the SM57 if that’s possible. Also the Sennheiser 409 is one my engineer friend really digs and doesn’t require a mic stand as it hangs nicely over the front of the amp and is a large diaphragm mic.  Another possible solution is a speaker emulator like the TAD FANTA direct box or a Hughes and Ketner red box, which would patch between the power amp and speaker and completely eliminate the possibility of leakage of ambient noise. I believe the Class 5,  if that’s what you are getting has a headphone out that may have a decent speaker emulator as well. You might want to check that out as well.

Subject: OT: Mike for Recording Guitar Amp

 

Hello:

 

In the past, I've always had guitar amps with some output capability to route the signal to a looper, recording device, et al. I'm about to get a small wattage Marshall (Class5 -  5W) with no output feature which means I will have to mike it up. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced microphone? THX!
