  • Much of the sound is dependant upon the amp and it's settings.
  • It should be sufficient to have one mic aimed toward the site of the speaker cone.
  • It is possible to have several mic's around the guitar amp but it's not essential.
  • Some sort of pad is also useful on the mic to prevent distortion wherever possible, especially when the amp is up loud (as it should be).
  • It is important to use your ears and reposition the mic if you are unhappy with the recordings.
