Secondary electric guitar mic options?

Forums

Hey all, I have (of course) an SM-57 and a 58, but have been curious about getting another mic to compliment the 57 since I use it primarily for electric guitar. I've considered the CAD Trion 7000 and the Sennheiser 421 so far with having heard good reports about both. A common description is that they fatten things up, and we all love fat, right?

Best way to record electric guitar?

Hi All, I want to record my electric guitar onto computer and I was wondering what the best way to do it is. What are peoples thoughts on devices like the M Audio Black Box or Boss Micro BR? I would also like to add realistic drum tracks to my music, is the best way to do this via keyboard? I am told I can tap out the rhythms this way rather than do it mechanically using the mouse.

Micing an electric guitar amp using an SM58

Forums

Ok, so, I'm attempting to record some guitar tracks onto a Zoom H4 4 track recorder. The recorder has 2 mic inputs. I have 1, possibly 2 sm58s available to me, and I just took the capsule off the mic, and placed it on an angle facing the amp. The recorder also has 2 built in condenser mic's in an XY pattern, if that would be better.

How do you all get a phat crunchy guitar sound..EQ/layering/panning etc?

Would be good to hear some suggestions as I have a project coming up.
