Every engineers have different ways and use different mics to record a guitar amp. I started this thread so all engineers can share their views on how they do it.
For myself, the most common mics i used are AKGD112 and Shure SM57 and a ADK A51.
Here are some technique i apply on miking a 4x12
D112 bottom cone slightly off axis
Sm57 bottom cone off axis
Sm57 top cone on axis
ADK A51 as distance miking
This is one of the most common way i mic the amps. And of coz different types guitar amps makes lots of different too.
As far as i am concern, this technique works well for me.
Finally, I am open for comments and wish to here and learn from more experience and professional engineer here.
