Guitar:Amp micing

General guidelines
Placing the microphone directly at the speakers cone will give a brighter sound, placing the mic off axis at the cone creates a more "mellow" sound.

Microphone placement
Each technique begins with a bullet point


 * Try a cardioid dynamic microphone placed anywhere from 2 inches to a foot away from the speaker cone.
 * Combine more than one mic and make sure their in phase, or make them out of phase and exploit the out-of-phase characteristic for a different tone.
