Fab examines the process of recording an electric guitar amp. By focusing on things like placement and angles as well as listening to a few different microphones and analyzing the impact of these variables.
This video will help you cut the grease out of the guitar recording process. He even pits an SM57 against an original AKG C12 to fascinating results.
Shure SM57, Sennheiser 412, AKG C12, Royer-122, Little Labs Redeye, Vovox cables and a really nice Gibson G20T.

Fab,
My home guitar recording setup consists of http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SilentSisTan/ and http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SilentSister/ hooked up to http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RockCrusher/. Amp speaker outs connect to the RockCrusher, of course. Do you have any tips on getting great recorded guitar sounds from that setup?
Thanks!

This video is well done but only covers the very basics of single mic recording for anyone wondering. I'm hoping that in a future video more advance techniques could be covered like double micing at diferent distances and how to listen and avoid phase issues that arise from dual micing the same source. Even covering different cabs like dual or triple micing a single speaker, 2x12, & 4x12 cabs. That to me sounds like a natural sequel to this video. Hopefully it's being considered.

Good summing of the angle/axis! Listen extra closely at 05:00-05:06 =)

Great, but you should better explain the routing between the DI, DAW and amplifier! Beautiful examples of the various microphones.
Thanks.

Dear Fab! Amazing Videos, I Love them all!
I record lots of guitar and I love the idea of using a DI Routing that you showed us.
One question:
I use Logic Pro as my main DAW, I own a Presonus 16.0.2 Mixer with 12 Xmax Preams, and other basic goodies.
however I cannot route the signal back from my mixer to another DI, & to the amp. My daw/mixer's firewire input/outputs are just not able to route to an aux output at all...
And suggested Gear I can invest in to do the trick?
