Dan Boul had a whiz kid engineer on the show yesterday (which I didn't watch till today) who specializes in recording with two SM57s and getting a HUGE sound out of them. I can say that coming through the PC speakers and then through my monitor rig in the studio the amp sounded like an album. It was great and dude was very informative about how he set it up and dialed it in. I enjoy the perspective and he's doing something right b/c he's working in LA- enjoy: www.ustream.tv/recorded/22467993

Cool! I'm an audio engineer, A/V tech myself and I mic different stuff all the time. Lately I've really fallen in love with the Shure SM7B. It's great for vocals but I'm finding it quite useful with guitar amps. I use a BETA 58A as well sometimes together depending on the speaker config. Dynamic mics have always been my favorite. Ribbon mics are also a great option.

Yeah, I took audio engineering when I was in college and miss the studio. I do a lot of live and homebrew audio but it's not the same. I love 421s for cabs and like to do mid side miking for room sounds. The crux of the earlier post/65 amps show was to show folks you don't need Rode and Neumanns to capture great guitar tones. I couldn't believe how "big" the guitar sounded. This technique's rather old but it's useful and the sounds are definitely cool. That beta58 is a great mic for snare IIRC.

No doubt I use the 58a for many things, way solid for live vocals. It's a highly controllable medium that is easily molded to fit many situations.

It was a great show to watch. I wonder if that's similar to how he would mic for a live show?

The mics are Dynamic and pick up very little noise interference. The key to the video is when he talks about phase and EQ. They both can add fullness or mid-bite to and signal.

What was the name of the tune at 35:20? Dan refers to it as the old crazy chord stuff, and nonsense.
It is so familiar but I can't place it.

2 mics on one speaker in a live situation is pretty much nuts. You'd never hear the subtlety of that kind of mic-ing in a live situation. Live you are fighting with so many sound sources.

The 57 is capable of a lot of different sounds by virtue of it's positioning. Mic-ing live is "sound reinforcement" you are already making a sound, the PA is to make it louder. I like the 57, The Senn 609 and the AT ATM23's and 25's. Dynamic mics work the best for me live. To me ribbons don't really pick up their character until they are like 6" off the grill and that's not too easy to do on a stage.
