Guitar Amp Mic Technique 2

Part 3 of 3. I set up the guitar amp to play back a 30 second clip of previously recorded guitar (recorded DI and dry). I then experimented with different microphones and positions to try and find interesting and unique ways of capturing the sound. This video is a handful of my favourite 'alternative' mic techniques which may hopefully serve as food for thought whenever you are next recording electric guitars. Amp used: Morrel custom built amplifier, based on an early Fender model. High gain with a dash of spring reverb. Locations: 1: MD735 shoved into the back of the amp cabinet, right up behind the driver. 2: Miccing the amp backwards, by using normal close mic techniques with an AT4050, only behind the driver. 3: Placing a MD735 right up against the side of the amp cabinet. 4: Putting a mic (B2 pro) down the back of a sofa on entirely the opposite side of the room, set to omni pick up pattern. Very unpredictable results, very interesting sound. 5: Placing a Fig 8 mic (RB100) on the opposite end of the room, very near to the back wall, to pick up a blend of direct sound and reflections. 6: Placing an AT4050 just below the cieling along one of the side walls in cardioid pattern, so it only picks up reflections of this side wall. Microphones used: Audio Technica AT4050 - Large diaphragm condenser microphone. Behringer B2 Pro - Budget large diaphragm condenser microphone. Sennheiser MD-735 - Dynamic microphone primarily for stage use. Further recording info: All mics ...
