Personaly I like the 1C sound the best out of these. But, something seems to be missing out of the signal in all of them. I can’t put my finger on it though?
I’m curious as to what “preamp” your adjusting? If you have a 1959 there is no preamp adjustment ❓
The two major suggestions I have would be to get a mic. made for instruments. (SM58 is a voice mic.) SM57’s work well and are inexpensive.
For headphones I use BeyerDynamic DT770’s. They are an excelent headphone. Kind of pricy but not “bank breaking”.
While I think that input from others can help, I do agree with Hyce in that what sounds the best to you is most important. 🙂
You know how you determine what sounds best? Plug some good stereo monitoring headphones into your mixer and listen for yourself- that’s how I find where I want to put my SM57 on my cab. You can’t record and then have someone else point it out to you.
I don’t have any good monitoring headphones unfortunately and I would like to know which tone you guys like best. I will eventually looking into buying some though.What do you recommend?
TEST 1A = Mic is on the grill pointing straight at the middle of the speaker
TEST 1B = Mic is angled, pointing a little off of the cone of the speaker and is 1 inch. off of the grill
TEST 1C = Mic is 3 1/2 – 4 inches away from the grill, pointing straight at the middle of the speaker
SECOND TESTS ARE LOVER PREAMP LEVELS THAN THE FIRST
TEST 2A = Mic is 3 1/2 – 4 inches away from the grill, pointing straight at the middle of the speaker
TEST 2B = Mic is angled, pointing a little off of the cone of the speaker and is 1 inch. off of the grill
TEST 2C = Mic is on the grill pointing straight at the middle of the speaker
Which sounds the best?Please let me know.Sorry for the hissing, I didn’t do any mixing or compressing.

Posted at 19:27h, 11 FebruaryIt’s not really a preamp but I’m not sure what else to call it.Mic Volume I guess or Mic Hotness
