Description/Information

Tracks 1 to 6

We recorded the Electric Guitar with 5 direct microphones and one room microphone. We used the 421, SM57, SEX1, C414 and E906 as the direct microphones. We used another C414 as a room microphone. The direct microphones were placed roughly 3 to 4 inches off-axis by the cone from the skin of the Amp.

We moved around the room and used our ears to find a good spot for the room microphone position. We decided to upload the DI separately to give you a better idea of what the microphones sound like on their own but it can be a good idea, depending on taste, to blend the DI with the microphone recordings of the Amp.

We recommend trying the phase reverse button to avoid phasing issues and also to get different tones.
