SM57 was excellent. Thee TLM 127 did surprisingly well, very clean recording. Also the 441 was very dark and raw, I thought it sounded really bitcin'! Might sell my BETA 57a and get one of those.
I listened withmy eyes closed. I didn't really 'LOVE' anything, except for when the TLM 127 came in. BAM, I immediately opened my eyes and I saw it was a TLM 127. I really seem to love that mic. It is great on kick drum, room mic and cabinets. I'll surely buy one later when I have the money, I also really like the Royer 121 btw. Thanks for the great shootouts !
I wonder if this is actually how guitars should sound recorded? I'm always recording direct using impulse responses and my sound always turns out either too bottom heavy oder too middy.
Shure sm-7 is the best all around mic there is so much versatility in that mic. I have a weird miking situation with my guitar setup, I have audio-technica podium mic, Broken EV N/D 127 and sometimes my cheap AT or my CAD gxl2400. This sounds strange on paper but rocks in the way I have it position, EQ'ed w/o processing. To all their own, when it comes to tone! -PK
Nice shootout! I don't normally like Beta's, but it cut through on the lead. Otherwise I really like the 421 & SM-7, the 7 having a bit more high-end and bottom(but it does look to be in a bit different location on the cab. What setting were you using on the 421?
@girotube :The crazy thing about distortion guitar is that everyone like somthing else, today Ive heard someone saying he liked the 87 and the Octava- and was dissapointed of the 57.
@kobifarhiMusic also mic placement on the speaker has a HUGE impact on the sound, and as hard as one might try in a shootout to get the positions all the same, there is always going to be slight variances.
@zildjiandrummer91 I agree with you. I hope the video still gives an idea about the general tone of each mic, enought to know wich mic to choose. Once you choosed a mic- you can find out its best position.
Did the SM7 have the presence boost on?

kind of liking the sound you got when you used the M-3K-one-93278 (or 78's as they are called in the fabric industry)

The SM57 may be the "classic" guitar amp mic, but I actually liked the other two Shure mics better. The Neumann mics and the DPA were also good.

Neumann U87 sounded great

For that sound imo the 441 and the SM 7 were the best!

The thing about guitar mics is that they all sound terrible by themselves.

quick question: will the tuning that you're in affect how the mic records the sound? plz respond!!!!!!!!!!
whatthebollocks 10 months ago
you should try taking the front resonator disc off the 319. Its worked well on mine! Sounds brilliant on guitar now.

@RetroElectroville hey . I realy like the md421 too but I dont have one on that video...
if I had it on I would use the "M" position for the beefy low end.
here I use a md441- on flat position
