Single Shure SM7B on V30 cab works for guitar?

[laszlozsolt82]

HI i got just an SM7b yet, i know that its one of the best mics out there for screaming vocs but can i use with good results on my 4*12 cabinet (vintage 30)? I think i read somwhere that in flames used it on guitars...

I just tried it with Mesa 2x12 (V30 & Black Shadow) cabinet last weekend. Works pretty good. In this case was better than SM57. Reamped using JeffTD's DI and backing track. Quad tracked with 6505 and Mesa Dual Rectifier.

Bascially the differences are:

1. The SM7B has more high end.

2. The SM7B has a lot less proximity effect.

they used to use two mics , both sm57 I think, one angled one straight, dunno about the newer records.

For which records? Besides Clayman obviously

They used it on a Mesa cab for the latest 2.

my guess would be, every record made by fredman?

I've found the SM7 is too soft on a gtr cab, then again i used it in the flat respnse position. There just wasnt the bite and sizzle the 57 has, id prefer the 57 and then do some post processing.

I got my SM7b last week and tried it on my Engl 4x12 Standard (upgraded with V30s). I kinda liked it. Its not as rough and agressive as a 57 but pretty useable. Why have you opened a thread for this? Just simply try it out for gods sake ;-)

Dude you and Lasse should COMBINE your two rose of sharyn guitar sounds. His holds that tight low-Mid sound and yours has the presence that his missed. HIT HIM UP AND DO IT i bet it sound Killer.


haha

If you cut the low and boost the mid prescence it'll probably sound semi-decent, but you're not gonna top a 57 for it i reckon

In Flames used it on their last record....ASOP. Along with a R121
