Really pleased with this tone on this recording, I think I'm finally getting the hang of mic'ing amps, glad I stuck with it :D

Not sure if my neighbours were happy with me recording at half 9 in the morning but my reasoning is that they should be at work by that time anyway :lol:

Sounds superb Tom! Really, really good!

What's the trick to the mic placement/recording then?

_tom_ · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2007, 11:16:39 AM »

Thanks, the trick is to just experiment with different positions until it sounds good :lol: And of course reading the advice from Ben/TO on here :)

This is a good read, pretty funny sometimes: http://www.badmuckingfastard.com/sound/slipperman.html

Wow, great step forward Tom!!!! This is sounding spot on 100%

How was the mic placed, on or off axis? Really great, must be fun playing with this sound.

I want a GH50L now :oops:

Thanks for your comments :D Not bad for a stock laptop soundcard and single SM57 eh?

I think its off axis, but I dont really know the terminology. I'll take a photo later of how I mic the speaker so you can see where it is. GH50L are great amps, I've improved so much since I got it (well I think I have anyway), because I've been concentrating more on the playing and not tweaking to get better tone all the time.

And yeah, that recording guide is great, though I havent read much so far, its amusing at least :)

Awesome dude. Makes me more eager 2 get my BKP Mule. But mine is Alnico V as its goin into an SG. :D Rock on

_tom_ · « **Reply #11 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:23:03 PM »

Cheers :D

Hunter, below is a pic showing roughly where I mic the speaker, you can faintly see the outline of it and where the mic is pointed.. I guess its off axis.

Like my mic stand? ;)

Great playing on that Tom, really liked it. Damn nice tone too, I haven't been able to put my Epi LP down since I fitted the Mules.
