Lead vs. Rhythm mic position

[53Crëw]

Do most of you guys use the same mic position for lead and rhythm guitars? OR two different mic positions? Thanks.

same position... slightly different eq.

I strive to use a different position, unless the one used for rhythms is 'ideal', or as close to where I want the tone to be as I can get it. Then it's usually a matter of using a different amp, or in the last case scenario, a different channel on the same amp that did the rhythms.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I usually struggle to get two good mic positions (1 for lead, 1 for rhythm) and the same amp with the mic in the same position for leads seems to not stand out enough in the mix. I'll try same cab, same mic position, but swap heads and see how that does.

Cheers.
