[QUOTE="SouPortugues, post: 25275, member: 744"] The SM57 is a great starting place for any cab micing to be done. They are cheap, rugged, and most everyone knows what they sound like. If you are stereo micing ANYTHING, keep phase relationship in mind, otherwise you will have cancellation, or oscilation (think of what a phaser sounds like). A good rule for stereo is put the second mike 1.5 times the distance away from the source (in comparison to the first one). Just remember that the cab isn't the source, the top left speaker is (or whichever one you use). Room mics are good ideas for stereo, place one right next to the other and angle one just left of the cab, and the other just right. For me, this works better with condenser mics, not dynamic. There is no right or wrong answer to mic placement, just like there is no right and wrong to guitar tone, just preference and function within the arrangment of the song. [/QUOTE]
