What Microphone to Use for Recording Electric guitar?
Ok, so I have a little, unprofessional home studio and I am using a 280 watt Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and a Gibson V guitar. I've been using Pro Tools LE 8 with an mbox mini 2 and an Audio Technica AT2020 Condenser Mic. The cleans that I record aren't bad, but all the distortion I use on my guitar (i play mostly rock and metal) and record sounds great to my ear with my awesome amp, but sounds really muddy and overall just crappy after recording...I think it's due to my $130 condenser mic trying to record an over $2000 half stack, does anybody have any advice to get a more professional sound with my guitar that's not too expensive (also, I record some vocals with the mic too...) Thanks!
