Hey guys, Ive been trying to record my Krank Rev. through my Marshal Vintage cab, using an SM57. I have tried on the cap, edge of cap, middle of cone, edge of cone, and all have really loud hissing. I turned my presence almost off, filtered, did everything to make a decent tone, but I cant. I turned down the gain to where it's almost unusable. What am I doing wrong?
Desperately need help with recording Krank Rev!

This is the SM57 at the edge of the cone

This is SM57 at the center of the cone.
There is no post eq or anything. The Krank Rev. settings are..
Pres: 1
Sweep:6
Bass:6
Mid:4
Treb: 6
Gain:5
Any tips would be much appreciated. If you could post samples of what you did that would be AMAZING. Thanks guys!

I would suggest turning the Sweep Down.
Try setting the amp like this:
Pres 5
Sweep 4 to 4.5
Bass 6 (E or D tuning) 3 - 4 (C or Below)
Mid 3 - 4
Treb 6
Master 1.5 (minimum)
Gain 6 (double-tracking) or 4-5 (quad-tracking)
Put the mic 1 Inch from the cab cloth straight on with the centre of the mic pointing at the join of the Dustcap/Cone or 1/3rd of the mic on the cone and 2/3rds on the Dustcap (Slightly closer to the Centre of the dustcap than the Edge position).
These settings are just a guideline. I find that this is where I start from normally.
See how they go.

Thank you GuitarHack! The Pres. seems a bit high. When I recorded with those settings, there was even more hissing. What do you do for post eq? Do you have any samples of your Krank? I trust this forum only for tips, I have heard amazing stuff come through here! I did hear it was hard to record a Krank. More tips would be appreciated!

I tend to like a bit of hiss/sizzle in the RAW tracks. It is definitely easier to EQ out some unwanted hiss and end up with a nice realistic tone than to record darker and try and brighten it up by boosting some highs IMHO.
