Hey folks,
I've been trying to record miced guitars for the first time. I used:
Marshall '78 JMP 100W (preamp gain maxed, master half way, tone controls untouched)
Diezel V30 4x12 Cabinet
SM57
I put the mic 90 degree (mostly) on the edge of the speaker, distance between 0 to 3 inches. For my taste the tone is way to "clear" and modern with a lot of highs. In my opinion it lacks dynamics and honky midrange as well as some cab rumble/breathing.
What I want is a oldschool, agressive tone lilke for instance on Accept's "Breaker" record (listen to Accept - Feelings, Accept - Son Of A Bitch)

Any ideas of how to achieve this? I will exchange the Diezel cab with a Greenback cab and put a 808 in front of the amp but for me I think the typical SM57 tone is simply not what I am looking for... What mics did they use to record guitars back then? Maybe they worked with phase cancelation?
I'll post a sample, as soon as I can try with the Greenback cab...
best regards
Alex
