In order to not waste time in the studio I decided to look up some ways to mic up a guitar amp to get a good tone. For the recording I will be using 2 mics which will give me a variety of frequencies. By this point I was also pretty certain I wanted to use a shure sm57 due to the fact that it is recommended by many and also due to the fact that I had never tried one before which made me curious if I'll like it or not. from my research I had came to the conclusion that I would have one of the mics being placed on the edge of the speaker to get a more rounded sound while the other would be placed very close to the centre so that I'll get a good frequency range which I could take advantage off during the mixing process. Lastly I am also planning on placing at least one of the microphones off axis to kill off some bass in the tone in order to get that grit that I'll be looking for. Sources: Ola Englund. (2012).
