Would you mind recording a short video discussing your mic'ing technique and which mics you use? Your recorded tone is always head and shoulders above practically everyone else.
Thanks, but I have to tell you its really simple. I either use a SM57, or the Samtone internal mics that are in my 4-12 straight into an apollo twin from UA. That goes into pro tools. I generally will run a little 475ms delay and a little verb. That's it.
Super helpful, thanks. I'll have to try it. Practically everything you record sounds amazingly good. Seriously. I was initially convinced you were using a room mic.
No doubt bro...Tired of shopping for amps, and finding these amp demos using modulation effects saturating the core sound of the amp.... Not a good way to display how the amp sounds at its heart... ANY amp sounds better with delay, chorus, reverb etc added to taste..... If an amp cost $3k, it BETTER be perfect without effects!! ALL AROUND !! Also, regarding recording technique. If You use a Royer R121 , a neve preamp, or something of that ilk, the demo will sound pretty damn good no matter what Amplifier is used... Old recordings sound great because of the Recording engineers didactic skill set, microphones and pre-amps carefully selected to achieve a certain sonic value to enhance the aural quality of the recording.. It was never just the amp & player yielding great tracks.. Ingredients = Quality musicians, Great Amps, Great Mics and mic positioning, quality acoustic atmosphere for recording, Superior sound consoles, superior pre amps and highly skilled artistic minds behind the console capturing such greatness... AC 30 , Marshall jcm 800, jtm 45, Fender Princeton can sound great or horrible depending on how they are used..... Don't buy into folklore..TRY BEFORE U BUY..... Just because Judas Priest used a Marshall Plexi or whatever on Screaming for Vengeance does not mean that the exact same Amp used on the recordings later used by U will sound as good for U.. Weather it be Live or in studio..
MrIkesimba it’s because he’s sitting 1ft away from a 4x12 cab that he’d have to crank up to get to that “sweet spot” without boosting it and that would be around 115-120db...not really healthy for the ears.
I always look at a great sounding amp with no pedals just as a great sounding electric guitar when it's not plugged in. If it sounds good before you add anything, it will sound even better when you do.
