Mic Placement



Here is the "FINAL" placement for recording "The 4 Horsemen" by Metallica. And the Vox Preset.
The intention is NOT to duplicate the Metallica sound, but to obtain a more "Personal Tone".

Final Preset for Recording Heavy Metal Guitar

Carlos and I spent some time last night tweaking and turning the chicken head knobs for a little while until we found a really good combination of volume, EQ and mic placement... The goal was to get the best sound to record a warm, yet Heavy Metal tone.

"We were trying to set up de amp for recording with the new SM57 that satan purchased.
we down the treble a lot, up the bass, a little more gain and a different amp, High Gain american. (what we were thinking after all ...)

there we go ...

Reds"

Here is the Vox Preset:




And here is my minimalistic gear (including a picture for mic placement)
