Members Jables66 Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 My guitar teacher used to mic his amp, but he just strung the lead through the handle and let it hang. Why do people mic their amps? Never understood why he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people mic their amps? Never understood why he did it. 2 reasons 1) to record2) into a PA system so you can reinforce and add more EQ to the tone. I don't do either, but maybe someday. But most likely just for recording for me. I've got bigger amps I'd use if I want "bigger" and no room left in the house for a PA system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jables66 Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 That sounds reasonable. To record I just run a jack to jack cable from my amp headphone line-out into my PC's mic socket. Works quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people mic their amps? Never understood why he did it. I play in a church band and always have to mic mine to get a proper balance in the mix. Not that it needs more volume. I wish I didn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brewgoodbeer Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 I have also used a c clamp on the amp with a goose neck attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StompBoxLover Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 To record I just run a jack to jack cable from my amp headphone line-out into my PC's mic socket. Works quite well. it works, because you are using a modeling amp.or an amp with speaker emulation on its line outs. both possibilities are inferior to sticking a mic in front of a speaker & finding the sweet spot. I've tried many, many ways to do direct - live and in the studio - used speaker sims, digital models, IR responses...nothing sounds as good as a mic in front of a speaker.

Fair play, I'll bear it that in mind. As money is tight (unemployed engineering student, it happens...) I'll have to stick with TOTALLY LEGALLY ACQUIRED Adobe Audition 3 and an mp3 320kb/s conversion program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rick 381 Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 Why do people mic their amps? Never understood why he did it. So you don't have hundreds of watts blasting behind you. Some people don't want to be like Pete Townsend, they want to be able to hear in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SuproSuper Man Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 neat idea, sure beats resting the mics on a stack of books like we do in our jam room when we run out of mic stands to use ...lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
